Creative Facilitation workshop - Learn PATH & MAPS

Access: Members Only, Public

CREATIVE FACILITATION BRANDON_Page_1.jpg (128 KB)

For the Person Centred Planning Training Project, we have some Creative Facilitation workshops coming up in Winnipeg, Brandon and Portage la Prairie.  These workshops are funded by the Government of Manitoba, and there is no cost.  For each workshop, coffee is provided and lunch is on your own.  We will ensure that each agency gets a copy of the PATH AND MAPS Handbook from Inclusion Press.  Additional copies can be purchased directly from Inclusion Press.

 

CREATIVE FACILITATION is a three-day workshop that introduces participants to the PATH and MAPS approach to person-centred service planning.  Participants will be provided with an introduction to the foundations of facilitation, including listening, graphics, values, and the role of circles of support.  Participants will also have opportunities to practice their facilitation skills through demonstrations and small group practice.  PATH will engage the person you support to think backwards from future possibilities and use storytelling to create a vision of how the possibilities may be realized.  MAPS asks the person to share stories that reveal their gifts.  Together, we explore the ways these gifts can be embraced in the community.

Zoom Lunch & Learn: Gritty Grace in a Burnt out World

Access: Members Only, Public

Gritty Grace.jpg (350 KB)

Our planet is almost three years into a global pandemic—the greatest global adversity of our lifetime. The cumulative toll on our spirits is immense. With relationship and belonging being an essential human need, the pandemic has created unique challenges to connection—in addition to the barriers to relationship that have always existed. The challenges on our systems is prolonged and enduring—more than our systems were designed to bear. It is true many of us—including, or maybe even especially, who work at Non-Profit Organizations that seek to help others, have had “more going out than going in” for an extended period of time. This seminar will explore:

1.      Unique mental health challenges of this stage of the pandemic

2.     The condition of burnout and its relevance during this stage of the pandemic

3.     Significance and practice of permission giving self compassion, gritty grace, revolutionary mercy, and meaningful connection to combat mental health distress

Please bring a piece of paper and a pen (and/or colored pencils) as well as some post it notes (if you have them handy) to the workshop.

The Speaker:

Carolyn Klassen is a therapist in Winnipeg, and speaker at Wired for Connection. Her many years of providing therapy provide her with a wealth of knowledge about people—including topics like grief, pain, anxiety, depression, joy and grace that are not easily or often spoken about in polite

company. Her presentations are interesting, rooted in scientific research while being real and profoundly human. She has a Master’s Degree in therapy, and is a Certified Daring Way Facilitator. She is a regular contributor to Hal Anderson’s 680 CJOB “Connecting Winnipeg” show and frequently appears on news programs as an expert on relationships and mental health.
