Day Facilitation Training and Support

Sunflower Circle Facilitation Training

*EUR 120.00

Learn to create a safe and brave enough space for people to show up with what’s really going on. Listen so others speak, and bring your own questions and insights to cultivate real dialogue and relationships.

*I strongly believe in keeping things accessible, so if you want to attend but can’t afford the suggested price, reach out to me and let me know what rate would facilitate your attendance.

Your Outcomes

Confidence in group settings

Gain the skills and experience to create spaces where honesty, vulnerability, and authenticity are not only welcome—but transformative. Move from “managing” group dynamics to facilitating and holding space with clarity, intention, and trust in the process.

Learn to listen so others speak

Listen to what’s really being said, while bringing your authentic self—your questions, your insights, your humanity—into any group, and helping others do the same so that everyone can deepen into their truth.

Hold community together through tension and conflict

Learn to honour our similarities while celebrating our differences. Foster relationships where empathy and a desire to stay in community helps us reach across divides of opinion, background, and life experiences.

How this works

The Sunflower Circle Facilitation Training takes place online on a weekend, over 5 hours from 12pm CET to 5pm CET. Each cohort will have a maximum of 8 people. During our time together we will:

  1. Explore the ground rules, understanding why they are in place, and how they keep us safe and present.

  2. Go through a useful tool kit of questions and techniques that we can rely on to help carry us through difficult emotions.

  3. Practice holding space with other facilitators: Checking-in, taking things further, and debriefing so that you can really know your onions.

  4. Q&A where you can ask about anything related to holding space, group facilitation, starting your own groups, and etc.

In addition to all that, beyond the training, you’ll also get access to:

  1. Facilitator exclusive debriefs, following each Sunflower Circle where we take a moment to share the journey, and give-and-get clarity on how to better hold space together.

  2. A quarterly facilitator-only circle where we dive deep into what’s been up for us, get clarity on facilitation, and foster authentic, compassionate community.

Meet Your Facilitator

Namora Lubis

Namora has been holding spaces for people to connect, debrief, and meet at depth for over 5 years. They’ve held everything from circles for men, women, LGBTQ+, PoC, and more. They blend their lived experiences as a facilitator, therapist, coach, monk, and community builder to hold safe and open space where others can drop the masks that they've been wearing and show up as themselves, and with what's going on for them in their world.

Namora’s process is decolonial, meaning that it’s not about the hierarchy or doing things right, but rather about who and how we want to be together. Rather than following the “norm,” Namora holds spaces where we can hold each other accountable and call-in one another to our commitment to be real, take things forward, and allow life to unfold us into who we are destined to be.

What others have said...

  • "Namora felt very present and spot-on during his interventions. I think people not only felt seen, but understood better than they understood themselves at times, since he seemed to reflect back to them their feeling and thoughts in a way that was an accurate reflection of their experience."

  • "Namora has a way of asking very simple questions that penetrate to the core of an issue yet without being intrusive. He brings insights to everyone involved and highlighted parts of my inner world that I didn't even realise were there."

    Cyber Security Specialist, 45

  • "Namora creates a dynamic where real sharing, reflection and even transformation, can occur. I believe creating and sustaining this kind of space takes special skills and talents that not everyone possesses. But Namora has a rare gift."

    Animator, 45

  • "Namora's experiences and skills really set a tone of welcoming, kindness and openness. The sessions also have a very simple structure, making it feel like there is zero barrier to participation. I am able to express myself without fear of judgement, so that I am better able to heal."

    Architect, 38

  • "Namora knows what to ask, and how to translate our thoughts and feelings, when we cannot find the words. I felt heard, and I was happy also to hear other people's experiences. I appreciate the effort that Namora put in this to make us feel safe and heard. I left wheeling heartwarmed, connected, and less isolated."

    Graphic Designer, 28

  • "Namora leads the group by setting a tone of empathy and safety. He brings incredible personal insight to the topics of discussion which has the effect of consistently deepening the experience while avoiding a hierarchal power dynamic. Its truly impressive!"

The Sunflower Circle Facilitation Training will take place online on a weekend, over 6 hours from 11am CET to 5pm CET. Each cohort will have a maximum of 8 people (including me). When there are enough people to run the workshop, I will reach out to everyone to coordinate timing.

Note that it is highly-recommended that you attend at least 3 Sunflower Circles to understand how we hold space and to get a feel for the process before you attend the training.
