I am in a group of folks being trained to facilitate communities. There are about 20 of us under the guidance of Laird Schaub, a long time community facilitator.
Many of us live in Asheville. As part of our 2 year training, we look for communities, groups forming, or the like to offer free facilitation to for the return of hosting us.
Might you know of a group forming, community that might want some "live" work for their group? Could be your community, condo association, work group, team of any type that could be interested in getting some "free" facilitation.
Here is the blurb and who to contact.
