Facilitate with Care: Small Group Facilitation

Build skills for facilitating small groups, including listening well, creating inclusive agreements, supporting balanced participation, and navigating group dynamics with care.

Strong, well-facilitated meetings and small groups don’t happen by accident—they are the result of intentional practice, shared tools, and a commitment to creating spaces where every voice can be heard. In Unitarian Universalist community life, both effective meeting leadership and thoughtful small group facilitation help us live into our values of collaboration, inclusion, interdependence, and democratic participation.

In this workshop, we will explore practical skills for strengthening how we gather, make decisions, and engage in meaningful conversation and offers a deeper toolkit for anyone who helps lead, host, or participate in UU community spaces.

Participants will have opportunities to learn through hands-on practice, reflection, and shared experimentation with real facilitation and meeting scenarios. Whether your focus is committees, teams, or covenant groups, these sessions are designed to support more grounded, inclusive, and effective collective work.
