Tom Atlee just forwarded this announcement to me about a free 2-day workshop
on group facilitation in San Francisco.  The workshop is taught by Sam
Kaner, and will be held April 10 and 11.  The workshop is open to grassroots
activists, full-time students and anyone who regularly volunteers for a

You may not believe this, but we have decided to
sponsor a FREE two-day workshop on the basics of group
facilitation, open to grassroots activists, full-time students
and anyone who regularly volunteers for a community
organization.

                      INTRO TO GROUP FACILITATION
                         taught by Sam Kaner, Ph. D.

                                     April 10 - 11
                                Community At Work
                                    San Francisco
                                       Cost: Free

Come learn the basic mechanics of how to help groups do their
best thinking!

Open to grassroots activists, full-time students and anyone who
regularly volunteers for a community organization.

This workshop is more focused on fundamentals that are not
taught in our normal course. For example, we'll spend extra time
practicing "stand-up skills 101";  we'll put more effort into
discussing the core reasons for having a facilitator;  we'll
teach participants how to explain the role of facilitator to a
group; and so on.

Thus, we are deliberately reaching out to people who have NO
prior experience facilitating, and who would probably not be
able to pay for our flagship 3-day workshop.

And yes, it's really free. No hidden purposes, no gimmicks.  We
did a similar workshop about five years ago, and it was a
meaningful and satisfying experience for everyone. We're very
pleased that we have the bandwidth to offer it again.

If you know anyone who might be interested, please pass this
along.  This will fill up fast, so I'll be registering people on
a first-come, first-served basis.

To register for April 10-11, just hit reply or contact me,
