(just posted this over on the Dynamic Facilitation list...)
Hi all...
I have recently returned from Uruguay with my husband Bruce, where we were attending a training in Organizational Constellations.
While there, I met a woman from Austria. When I talked with her about Civic Councils and Dynamic Facilitation, she was interested in learning more,
so I offered to send her some follow-up information. Then, when I looked up Matthias zur Bonsen's webpage to send her,
I learned that he is offering three different workshops in Germany over the next several months.
Yay!!! It seems like the demand for this work in Europe is growing...
What I mentioned to my new friend, is that I highly recommend that anyone who wants to learn Dynamic Facilitation well,
take workshops in it from several different people. That way, you can learn different approaches to it,
which can make it easier to find your own way of engaging in this practice...
As for myself, I would love to take one of Matthias' workshops some day, for this very reason...
and also, to learn about his own way of teaching DF, which I am sure is somewhat different from how Jim teaches it, or how I teach it...
we are all developing our own styles.
Speaking of which, here is the link to my upcoming workshop in Maine, this spring...
I would love to see some of you there.
About the article on Wisdom Councils... Hans Asenbaum, in the most recent issue of the Journal of Public Deliberation,
published an article called "Facilitating Inclusion: Austrian Wisdom Councils as Democratic Innovation between Consensus and Diversity".
So good to see this work being written about in the academic literature!
This has spurred me to update my website, where I have both translations of German-language materials
as well as a collection of my own writings.
And also, to recognize that if we want this work to grow, we will need to encourage many different teachers, many practitioners, and many authors...
and, welcome the different perspectives and innovations that this will bring.
with all best wishes,
Rosa
