X-WR-CALDESC:Friends are often called upon to facilitate retreats\, confere
 nces\, and conversations\, sometimes within the Quaker community and somet
 imes in the world beyond. The skill set required is not quite the same as 
 the skills involved in either clerking or teaching\, though the practices 
 do have some things in common. At this retreat\, we’ll explore many pieces
  of the work of facilitation\, including the following:\npractical and spi
 ritual preparation\; planning the arc of the event\; methods and modalitie
 s\; group empowerment\; co-facilitation\; maintaining and responding to a 
 sense of the group\; engaging with difficult situations\; and the facilita
 tor’s relationship with the elder(s). Spiritual gifts among facilitators v
 ary widely\, and we are all most effective when we build authentically upo
 n our strengths. For that reason\, Karen\, Emily\, and Christopher will be
  explicitly articulating and demonstrating their differences in approach a
 nd encouraging those present to do the same. The weekend will also provide
  opportunities to connect with Friends of varying levels of facilitation e
 xperience in order to encourage future possibilities for co-facilitation a
 nd mentorship.
