This summer, we're turning our attention to the heart of our work: the learners. Together, we'll explore how to create environments that foster genuine engagement, ownership, and psychological safety.
Want to create learning experiences that actually stick?
- Do you sometimes finish a session and wonder if your learners really got it?
- Are you tired of relying on content-heavy slides that don’t quite land?
- Have you ever felt unsure how to design for engagement, ownership, or psychological safety?
- Do you want to feel more intentional in how you hold space and guide learning?
- Would you love to walk away with a fresh set of tools, frameworks, and ideas you can actually use?
Then this gathering is for you.
Join us for a day of practical learning, real talk, and hands-on strategies to strengthen how you support the people in your rooms.
What you'll learn at the Summer Gathering

The SOF Gatherings are a quarterly event and are designed to support facilitators and trainers in four key areas (CLUB):
- Clients – Building relationships & crafting proposals
- Learners – Understanding participant needs & creating engaging experiences
- You – Mindset, confidence & self-care
- Your Business – Running a sustainable and thriving facilitation business
Each gathering is themed around one of these pillars, giving you clarity on what to expect while still keeping space for organic conversations and community-led learning.

FACILITATORS HAVE ATTENDED AN SOF GATHERING
Imagine leaving with..
to Gatherings in 2025
We’re doing things a little differently this year.
In 2025, all four Gatherings are being held at Wallacespace - a space purposefully designed to support facilitators and trainers.
This change means:
- A beautiful, central London venue made with facilitators and trainers in mind
- Breakfast on arrival, lunch at midday, and an always-open snack shop with tea, coffee, and cold drinks
- Flexible spaces with natural light, breakout corners, and everything you need to run great sessions
- A welcoming, fully equipped environment - so you can focus on learning, connection, and good conversation (not logistics)
We’ve chosen Wallacespace because the venue itself helps elevate the experience.
It’s one of those places where you walk in and instantly feel ready to learn.
