Facilitation Lab w/ Sara Ness

Control the Room is a community of facilitators spanning many different facilitation styles and systems. Facilitation Lab is our weekly event where we create a safe place to explore, adapt, and practice facilitation approaches and methods.

Join us as a participant and learn through connecting with others or signup to lead a session and try out a new method for the first time. During COVID we accelerated our monthly meetups to occur weekly in support of the transition to virtual facilitation and adapting to online. Whatever your learning objectives may be, we are here to support you.

Each week we feature a guest to guide us through an experience, the entire group critiques them, and then as time permits, we run an open mic style facilitation jam.

Agenda:

1:00-1:15 Networking/Warmup
1:15-1:25 Welcome/Why/Intro Host
1:25-2:10 Host Session
2:10-2:30 Rose, Thorn, Bud-Feedback on Host
2:30-3:00 Cleanup/Networking

Here's a little more about this week's guest, Sara Ness! As a facilitator, teacher, and community-builder, Sara is internationally notorious for having popularized the field of Authentic Relating. While in college, she founded several learning communities and wrote the source text for Authentic Relating. In the subsequent decade, her work has influenced more than 100 communities, on every continent except Antarctica. She has worked with tens of thousands of students in sectors from Google to Mindvalley to Burning Man, teaching authentic leadership and authentic communication.

Sara is passionate about exposing the joy of human connection and exploring our creative potential through relationships. She’s most lit up by creating things – projects, books, movements, systems, anything that her heart and brain can chew on at the same time. She lives in a tiny house with her community in Bastrop, Texas, and is excited to join our Lab this week!
