This workshop, led by John Dawson, will introduce participants to a person centered and “whole person” approach to facilitation developed by Zenergy in New Zealand. It is described in the classic book The Art of Facilitation (2007) by Dr. Dale Hunter and colleagues.
The four dimensions of the Facilitator Education Model (as outlined by Glyn Thomas in the IAF Handbook of Group Facilitation) will serve as a theoretical framework for the workshop.

This approach draws on the work of Carl Rogers, John Heron and others, including the indigenous people of New Zealand.
