Immerse Yourself in Creative Facilitation
This 6-day course will give you basic tools for creative facilitation design. Together we'll practice spiritual leadership, active and participatory learning techniques, and pedagogical tips to maximize and assess experiential learning.
On the shores of the powerful Lake Atitlan, we come together to form an open and safe learning environment to deepen our knowledge and skills in group leadership.
The Facilitation Intensive is a 6-day course diving in deep into the Art of Facilitation, as well as practicing the skills to facilitate the Art of Practice, Art of Teaching, Art of Living, and Art of Healing.
The Art of Facilitation is directed toward honing our personal facilitation skills to lead and support from an emotional and spiritual level. We will practice and discuss Tools for Trust Building and Creative Facilitation Design, including spiritual space holding, group trust, holistic pedagogical design, ethics & dharma, artistic expression & creativity, and compassionate communication. A special emphasis will be placed on the art of giving and receiving Feedback. We have designed this training to be an experiential training, co-created by all participants. You will have several chances to facilitate during the course in both group and individual settings. As a group we will take time and space for feedback, sharing reflections, wisdom, and new perspectives.

In addition to the Art of Facilitation, the Facilitator Intensive offers an experiential component for those who are interested in pursuing the Kula Path. The intention of this experiential aspect of the training is to provide a solid foundation for upcoming Kula facilitators to prepare for the roles of apprenticing and co-facilitating 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with The Kula Collective. This training does not guarantee a role as a Kula Facilitator, but is an important and required step on the path.
Each morning, prospective facilitators will teach the signature Kula Flow weaving in relevant themes and Spiritual Intentions. This is an opportunity for students to increase their level of confidence in teaching and to prepare for the potential of facilitating the Kula Flow in 200-hour level trainings. Students will receive constructive feedback on their teaching to address ways in which they can improve their overall deliverance of a Kula Flow yoga class. Participants will be provided with our Kula Basic Flow and signature sequences prior to arrival.
Asana Practice Teaching will include:
Each afternoon will focus on breaking down the 4 Arts: Art of Practice, Art of Teaching, Art of Living and Art of Healing. The intention is to provide prospective facilitators with tools to guide a yoga teacher training that meets the protocol for Kula Collective and Yoga Alliance at the 200-hour level. As an essential part of the learning process, students will receive constructive feedback on topic presentation, organization, student engagement and comfortability in presenting their lesson plan. Participants will be provided with pre-course homework for preparation where applicable.

About The Yoga Forest
The Yoga Forest was founded as a sustainable living experiment, through a desire for living simply, greenly and in communion with everything surrounding us.
In yoga practice, we clear the body and mind making space for wisdom and deeper understanding to flow freely and openly. In making space, we allow ourselves to experience our fullness and connection to everything around us. Yoga is therefore about cultivating flow through the body and mind and opening up to optimal experience - union.
Permaculture follows the same principles. In Permaculture, we are essentially making space for the wisdom of the entire system to fully flow, to become a more open and thriving container for life. Permaculture teaches us to observe the natural environment and work with rather than against the natural order of flow. Thus, in Permaculture we are also cultivating union. Through the Yoga of Permaculture, we are facilitating the experience of Yoga as deep ecology – by allowing the ecosystem, and ourselves within that system, to demonstrate their own evolution.
