If you occasionally or regularly facilitate community conversations, dialogues, discussions in non-profit settings, grassroots organizing meetings, etc, and are feeling the need for some support in these efforts, you are invited to attend this monthly roundtable (second Mondays). We will share experiences, work confidentially on specific cases, learn from each other, and gradually build a local ‘community of practice’. A possible theme for exploration might be how facilitation can help groups challenge assumptions and work more imaginatively.

When: Monday, October 11, 5-7 pm Where: 2414 SE 28th Pl, Portland (just N of Division)
