Dear DA facilitators and those who are interested in becoming facilitators,
You are invited to the next “DA Facilitators General Meeting”, which means that we will be together and connect with each other, discuss important topics and make some decisions.
We will form an agenda prior to and during the meeting. Please feel free to write at Igor@deepadaptation.info (or to Igor via Slack) about a topic or a process you want to propose in advance. Tell also if you are interested in hosting or co-hosting our upcoming meeting - it will be great to do it together.

Agenda so far:
- “Borders and definitions” workgroup proposal discussion. What are “core offerings” and why are they “core”? Who is a “DA facilitator” and how to become one? What is that around which we build a community of practice?
- “Events scheduling and calendar” workgroup preliminary results
- DA Facilitation web of docs (navigation for facilitators)
- The training of original DA facilitated offerings for new and experienced facilitators (presentation and discussion of this idea).
- New live gatherings DAF circle and news about local groups during the Deep Live Gathering
- Mutual care circles hosting and other facilitation for DAF community
You can find brief results of the last DA facilitators general meeting and the table with actual workgroups here.
Grief Circle - pilot facilitated offering (Community of Practice) - needs Facilitator participation and input. Tues. Sept. 30, 17:00-19:00 UTC (6-8 pm BST).
Terry LePage will be piloting a Grief Circle, with poetry, music and ritual, and less talking. Many (most?) traditional cultures have regular grieving rituals, to metabolize the pain of caring in the face of inevitable losses. Let’s restore that practice! The last half hour is for feedback from facilitators. Zoom link (revised): https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87376679986.
For your convenience, here are events for DA volunteers you are invited to join:
- Volunteer Community Call
The second part of the call will be dedicated to informal communication among facilitators (as well as to inner communication of other DAF teams).
- Mutual Care in DAF
