Flourishing Facilitator Experience

A four month learning experience that’ll take you from good to great in all that you do as an expert facilitator and trainer. It’s time to deepen your practice and harness your confidence.

October 2025 - January 2026

You’re a natural teacher, you understand how to design engaging learning experiences and you relish being on your feet, delivering training - but you’re not sure how you crafted this skill and passion.

Perhaps you didn’t have any formal training, but you’ve stumbled upon a natural talent that you’re ready to take to the next level.

Does this sound like you…?

"I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all your support and inspiration over the last two days. The first day blew my mind and the second day was hard (but the best things in life often are). I have taken so much away from it. I just hosted a 90 minute virtual module from our leadership course and made some "laughably small" adjustments and it felt wonderful - we opened with music" - CS

Throughout this journey, you’ll don two equally important hats...

We learn by doing and you are encouraged to fully immerse yourself in the experience and notice what it is like to be the learner.  By doing this it gives you references of what learning is like and therefore how it could be for your own groups.

What is it your facilitator is doing, saying, applying?  How do they design and deliver the sessions?  What can you be doing?  What would you do?  There will be pauses during our time together to notice what the facilitator is doing, how they do it and why.

The Flourishing Facilitator Programme is a comprehensive, four-month learning experience designed to elevate your skills as a facilitator, trainer, consultant, or coach. It includes immersive in-person training, monthly accountability calls, 1:1 coaching, and much more.

Human-centered design is a philosophy that focuses on the needs of the learners. We help you design learning experiences that address the specific challenges and goals of your team, putting your people at the core of the process.

The kick-off residential masterclass will take place on the 5th & 6th February 2025, and the closing masterclass will be on the 30th April - 1st May 2025.

The residential masterclasses will be held at The Wisdom Centre in Romsey, with accommodation provided at The White Horse, Romsey.

Accommodation for the first night of each residential is included. Tea, coffee, biscuits, snacks, and lunch are provided on all days. Evening meals are not included, but a table will be booked for the group at a local restaurant.

The programme includes over 50 hours of comprehensive training and support, encompassing in-person sessions, online classes, and coaching calls.

The programme covers human-centred learning principles, workshop design techniques, facilitator’s purpose and values, group impact and presence, feedback and growth, and new tools and practices.

 In addition to the structured programme, you’ll receive ongoing Whatsapp group support throughout the four months, a post experience integration call and a discount on any additional coaching you would like post-experience.
