Deep Work with Whole Person Process Facilitation

Whole Person Process Facilitation is a powerful participatory method that creates meeting cultures where people contribute their best thinking, feeling, and knowing. This deep work module takes you beyond the fundamentals into the textured subtleties of the practice – those nuanced elements that are felt more than easily defined in words.

Whether you're new to facilitating with this method or have years of experience, this intensive exploration expands your capacity to work with the full richness of what WPPF makes possible. You'll develop understanding of what you're actually setting in motion when you design and facilitate using this approach, learning to work consciously with the dynamics of interactive participatory processes.

A distinctive feature of Deep WPPF is learning to work with four streams of consciousness – emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual – in both individuals and the collective. This isn't abstract theory; it's developing real skillfulness in recognizing and working with these dimensions as they show up in your meetings. You'll explore how to create individual and collective coherence of mind, heart, and action while honoring diversity, creativity, and innovation within that coherence.

The work includes translating what needs to be accomplished in a meeting into teaching objectives that guide your facilitation design, choosing specific activities with clear understanding of why you're making those choices, and integrating bridging between activities to create a coherent whole. Throughout, you'll frame your work to embrace diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging – understanding that the real magic unfolds when you create conditions for genuine participation across differences.

You will leave this experiential, interactive workshop equipped with:

• Deep understanding of what you set in motion when you work with interactive participatory methods
• Capacity to work consciously with emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual streams of consciousness in individuals and groups
• Skills to translate meeting goals into teaching objectives that guide effective facilitation design

• Skillfulness in choosing activities with clear rationale for why each choice serves your objectives
• Practical approaches for framing every use of the method to embrace diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging
• Expanded capacity to work with the textured, felt dimensions of facilitation that deepen your practice
