Community Building Experience (2 days)

A community building experience provides participants with the opportunity to explore the experiential process during which a group of individuals, using a few simple guidelines, discover how to build a sense of community with each other.

The experience is facilitated by two experienced community building facilitators who introduce the process and provide reflections on the group process and feedback to the group to consider as it figures out which forms of communication work---and do not—foster an environment of extraordinary respect, authenticity and connection with others.

Groups size is between 20 and 50. You can read about the benefits on our home page and by clicking the button below.

Are you a maximizer? Three days are better than two, right? 

Come and commit to a:


Community Building Skills Workshop (3 days)

A community building skills workshop provides participants with a complete community building experience followed by a day that provides an opportunity to reflect on the two-day experiential session to understand what happened in the group during each of the community building stages.

The third day also focuses on the skills that encourage a sense of community and how these skills can be applied in daily life.

Time: 3 days (for example it starts on Thursday evening and ends on Sunday afternoon)
