The 5 Facilitation Modes Every Group Program Needs

Joannaig Square@2x

In this episode, we look at the 5 essential modes of facilitation that will transform your group programs. Whether you’re running retreats, workshops, or online courses, these five carefully balanced approaches activate different learning pathways, fostering deeper integration and genuine transformation.

By intentionally incorporating these modes into your curriculum, you’ll create dynamic, engaging experiences that build authentic community. Your participants will be more likely to take meaningful action in their lives while feeling deeply connected to your work and each other.

There is an art to using these 5 modes and your groups will become more powerful with them!

In This Episode You’ll Discover:

  • The 5 Facilitation Modes that activate different learning pathways and why balancing them creates transformational group experiences

  • How to use presentation effectively while avoiding the common pitfall of relying on it exclusively

  • The power of โ€œsolo workโ€ to deepen integration through self-inquiry and personal reflection

  • How small group breakouts can build community while providing intimate space for processing

  • The vital importance of Full Group Sharing (that most facilitators underutilize) for normalizing experiences and leveraging collective wisdom

  • A little Public Service Announcement at the beginning about how group programs can help heal the world (I am very passionate about this!)

I also mentioned two upcoming opportunities if you want to make your group programming more effective and memorable:
