A Lapidus Scotland Residential Workshop for Experienced Facilitators and Potential Trainers of Reading, Writing and Storytelling for Wellbeing

Disruptive changes, losses and the resulting grief, and the yearning for healing and hope are the stuff of life. Yet, group facilitators find losses of group members one of the most challenging situations in groups. In this residential training workshop, registrants will be presented with, practice, discuss, and extend their comfort zone, competence and confidence when facing change in a words for wellbeing support group. A further emphasis will be on the use of experiential processes when leading such groups.

Advanced means that the registrant has attended a previous Lapidus Scotland basic facilitation workshop or residential; has led several reading and writing for wellbeing groups in past years; would like to train others; or has a diploma that includes attention to facilitation of groups.
