Facilitation Dojo

Testimonials
“It's a wonderful experience, led expertly in a beautiful location that will help me build my facilitation from the core.”
“I would recommend it to any man as it helps deal with shadows and resistance in life in general, teaches valuable processes for use with self and in group, and helps us heal, grow and manifest in our lives.”
“This training gave me the opportunity to step up and believe in myself and really understand my qualities as a facilitator. It provided me with some practical tools and knowledge that will help me on my journey of personal development, and I can bring to my weekly group.”
“Simple and powerful works best - it does not need to be complicated. I feel far better equipped to support my brothers and can’t wait to use what I‘ve learned.
“I judge this is a really useful process for working in groups, as it will fit within limited timescales, and is inherently flexible and responsive. On a personal level, I found it a bit challenging, but that could easily have been because of where I was in myself.”
“I loved the emphasis on men supporting each other in taking life forward, rather than just digging into old wounds.”
“It served me well in that it gave me clear and understandable mental models that I can use as a map when facilitating men. I found the - clear models that serve to guide me through a process.”
“I loved the experiential nature of the training. That made it really land for me. I really liked covering a range of tools, and I judge that's exactly what the men's groups will need.”
“I found the weekend a really illuminating connecting experience. It helped me to gain a greater understanding of process work. I can really see how, as well as equipping men with a better equipped toolbox of skills, it is also a great way to strengthen the container of an I group over this experiential weekend.”
“I really liked the models used and practicing using them. I can see my I group benefiting a lot from this approach.”
“I hope you run this course again - I think it is what MKP has been waiting for, without knowing a piece of the jigsaw was missing.”
“The intention of creating a training to support I -groups is commendable. Practicing the processes and doing personal work was a highlight.”
“I found the whole training to be powerful, helpful and informative. It was also a really good shared emotional experience.”
“I discovered a lot I can work with – so great booster for my confidence – thank you.”
