**POSTPONED ONE WEEK TO FEB 23**
The Deep Roots team and the PNW Forest Climate Alliance is hosting an activist training series over the coming months to support deeping skills in facilitation & running meetings, helping resolve conflicts, making organizing spaces more accessible, and navigating burnout & building collective resilience. Each month from February through May, we’ll take a deep dive with experienced trainers into these important but often unrecognized skills.
You can register here for the first training, “Facilitating Effective Meetings & Events” on Thursday, Feb 16th 6-7:30pm PT.
Working together with other people to identify goals, strategize plans, coordinate efforts, and make decisions are important parts of organizing for a better world. And yet, without preparation and thoughtful facilitation meetings can often leave us feeling frustrated, chaotic, bored or ineffectual. Join us to learn from two experienced facilitators about what it takes to plan & facilitate effective meetings & events. The training will discuss how to prepare for meetings ahead of time, keeping conversations productive & moving, tips for dealing with the inevitable challenges, and more.
This training is part of the PNWFCA’s activist training series. Join us over the cold & wet months to connect with others who want to build a more just & sustainable world as well as more just & sustainable movements. Together, we’ll explore how to facilitate & run effective meetings, how to navigate the conflicts that inevitably come up between people in healthier ways, how to better support ourselves & each other when we’re facing the burnout & trauma that comes with this work, and how to make our events more accessible & welcoming to everyone in our communities.
