There is a quickening….an awakening occurring all over the world. Have you felt it? Our organizations, families, and we ourselves as facilitators, are all changing. Old structures and patterns long held as ‘the norm’ or ‘the standard’ no longer serve us. Many are being called to a higher purpose. We are in fast changing times and, as facilitators, we are being called upon more and more to lead the change.
Pure Facilitation Certificate Program includes:
- The Fundamentals of Facilitation
- The Finessing of Facilitation
Are you ready to move to the next level of facilitation?
The Pure Facilitation Certificate Program…simply, elegantly, powerfully, and highly effective…and it’s fun!
“Your work is invaluable, especially for those who face the challenges which arise from ongoing process of spiritual evolution.”
The Pure Facilitation Certificate Program approach combines practical facilitation skills with subtle energy principles. It toggles between the left and right brain and between learning theory and practice.

Testimonial
Within the first week of my first course with Leslie, I began to realize that adult education is something much better, much broader and much more important than I had ever thought. I was challenged to examine my own best learning and to recognize the many ways adults learn. I was also encouraged to take responsibility for my own learning, to decide for myself what was relevant and important, rather than “performing for the teacher”. Here was the model of facilitating adults being put into practice and I suddenly became a learner-centered learner.
The biggest transformation of all occurred when I was invited to assess and evaluate my own learning by giving myself a grade and then writing and submitting the rationale for that grade. This was the embodiment of all that I was studying about adult learning! It was like standing behind a dark curtain and suddenly the curtain was drawn open and there before me was a beautiful pool of deep blue water, and I was invited to dive in. And dive in I did! As a result, I worked ten times harder, became a much more critical thinker, was ten times more creative in my learning, learned more thoroughly and with more relevance to me and my work, felt a greater sense of accomplishment and was able to claim my learning as mine, supported by Leslie, but owned by me. I have radically altered my adult education practice because of this experience and the results have been wonderful.
This experience has remained for me the most pivotal and the clearest example of “walking the talk” of adult education.
