​DESCRIPTION
As facilitators, we hold tremendous power & responsibility in what we teach and how we teach it. Even with the best of intentions, we may be unknowingly perpetuating harm through our choices of guest speakers, resource sharing, language, the experiences that are centered in our teachings, the experiences that are left out, and more.

​Move past performative activism & allyship and join us for a 4 week experiential deep dive into decolonial approaches to facilitation where we center holistic, intersectional and liberational approaches to teaching & holding space. 

Workshop participants will labor collectively & individually to explore the following themes:

• Intersections of power, privilege & marginalization and how they shape our perspective & social location
• How to vision space-holding and facilitation strategies based on notions of humility, integrity & accountability
• How to weave a space where others can arrive as their full, authentic & embodied selves
• Understanding knowledge gate-keeping; How to strengthen our critical thinking skills to dismantle hierarchical knowledge systems 
• Identifying & unlearning saviorism 
• Turning theory into practice: Based on our unique intersections of power & privilege, creating a customized action plan that centers sustainability, reciprocity & accountability

THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU!
​We've built this course for anyone who holds space to educate others- whether it be within or outside of an institution- including but not limited to: birth workers, teachers, community educators, support group leaders, OB/GYNs, midwives, physical therapists, pelvic floor therapists, fertility specialists, abortion counselors, etc.
