Crash Course on Facilitating Friction

Monday, August 25, 4-6pm 
Amidst the grief, rage, and resolve that is flowing through our groups in the face of authoritarianism, our meetings are still the place where we make critical decisions to move our work forward. How do we acknowledge the heat that comes up in our group conversations without letting it take over, knocking us off course and distracting us from our mandate to fight for justice and liberation?

Join AORTA, and co-hosts--Amplify GA, Dissenters, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, and Jewish Voice for Peace--and many others in our movements, to meet this political moment by skilling up in practical tools and approaches for facilitating through friction.

In this 2 hour online training, Aorta will share:
--Approaches to designing the right size of containers to hold high levels of emotion
--When and how to set agreements for a hard conversation
--Our cheat codes when the group gets stuck in self-destructive behaviors
--Common patterns to recognize to better anticipate the direction and rhythm of the heat
--Ways to guide the conversation that helps you build resilience while under pressure
