 Facilitators News September 4,  2021


Dear Facilitators, 

As summer is winding down, we hope you have had rich experiences with Nature.  We are impressed at the workgroups creating clarity for our facilitators community.

Here you can find brief results of the last DA facilitators general meeting and the table with actual workgroups: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12EW61Sdl7MYvq8FxBtd1gzECvSbcY6HNf7Ilt1Nwbb4/edit?usp=sharing

The next general meeting will be in the end of September / beginning of October

“Deep Live Gathering” needs facilitators and offline-hosts
21-26 of October offline gatherings (interconnected online) will happen in different countries. We already have applications from Germany and different states in the US. People wish to join offline gatherings if they happen near their places. If you are ready to become a host or to help with facilitation of such a meeting in your country (or have any questions about it) please contact the Gathering preparation team via the website.
On the 10th of September, 14.00 UTC there will be a zoom-call for possible Deep Live Gathering local hosts and facilitators. If you think that you might be one, you are invited (it is OK to ask questions and to make this decision after the meeting:)


Here are events for DA facilitators and volunteers only:

- Maplessness and Post-Crisis Hope with Katie, Igor and Nonty
Sept. 6, 13:00-15:00 UTC. Conversation on pathfinding in the times of unfolding for facilitators and volunteers of the DAF community. Description: https://fb.me/e/1FTv5t3Qc (Facebook) / https://deepadaptation.ning.com/events/maplessness-and-post-crisis-hope (Ning)

- “The Four R’s” new facilitated offering (Community of Practice)
Sept. 7 15:00-17:00 UTC. The “test-drive” of the new offering with DA facilitators and volunteers. For details and registration, go here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/4rs-workshop-for-da-facilitators-and-volunteers-tickets-168107489025  

- Mutual Care in DAF

- Volunteers Community Call
- Grief Circle - new facilitated offering (Community of Practice)
Tues. Sept. 30, 17:00-19:00 UTC (6-8 pm BST).  The “test-drive” of this new offering with DA facilitators and volunteers. 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:

For events open to the wider DA community including Deep Relating and other events by our facilitators, see: https://www.facebook.com/groups/deepadaptation/events/
The latter includes events from Professions Network members who are not facilitators, and events that charge a fee but have a low-or-no-cost option.  If you wish to add your event to that list, here’s how:
