In-person gatherings for facilitators, trainers and coaches
Connect with others in your field, explore new ideas, and take time to reflect on your practice - across the UK and beyond.
What is a Gathering?
It's good to learn and broaden our knowledge, explore the world we work in and grow. As facilitators, trainers and coaches we intuitively know it’s important that we grow our skills and capabilities to be in service of our clients.
Gatherings are a place, a space and a time where you can come and learn more about how to be an effective facilitator and trainer. Bring your struggles, your wins and your quests for knowledge… they’ll be facilitated here.

FACILITATORS HAVE ATTENDED AN SOF GATHERING
Why come to a Gathering?
Gatherings are a chance to step out of your day-to-day work and spend time with people who understand the world you work in.
You might come to:
- meet other facilitators, trainers and coaches
- explore new tools, ideas or ways of working
- reflect on your practice
- talk through challenges in a supportive space
- leave feeling clearer, more connected and more inspired
Each Gathering will have its own feel, shaped by the host, the place and the people in the room.
