Saturdays, August 24 through October 5, 2024, from 8:30am-10:30am Pacific time.

Are you ready to equip yourself with the capacity to facilitate vital conversations? In an increasingly polarized world, there is a need for people who can guide reasonable and constructive dialogue on important issues. Imagine being one of those people who is able to provide gracious time and place for truth-seeking dialogue that can achieve non-confrontational mutual understanding.

This facilitator training will provide resources to coordinate and facilitate inclusive small group dialogue using the KI gracious leadership tools, skills and processes. Also, it will equip you with tools to learn how to invite people to come to an initial dialogue, designed to achieve mutual understanding through deep listening. This training event will provide KI resources for your work and ministries and for building and nurturing relationships in your congregation. Completion of this training may contribute to pursuing accreditation as a KI facilitator if so desired.

The sessions will occur on Saturdays August 24, September 7, 14, 21, 28, and October 5 from 8:30am-10:30am Pacific time on Zoom. We will not meet on August 31st. It is necessary to attend all six sessions. Note: If you have already completed a prior Conversation Guide training, you may join us for this training on the third session, beginning September 7th.
