Are you showing up as a facilitator that brings something to the space, or only coming to take something away?

Project Title

Rooted in Action: A Facilitator's Guide for Care

Shanice Harris with the Pedagogies of Community Engagement Collective

Authors

This resource allows facilitators the space and time to connect with themselves before connecting with others. Facilitating is empowering and impactful, but to effectively facilitate, guide, and ground others, you have to ensure you have filled up your cup in all ways: spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally. This notebook will help you set intentions, journal your thoughts, reflect on your goals, and take breaks to offer clarity. To continue the work, you do and the way you lead, root yourself in action so you can help others do the same

Reflections

My peers and other peers were able to create a collage of illustrations, words, and images that created an open space for facilitators to reflect during our time at the retreat. 

During my time at Women’s Health in Women’s Hands on the Immunization Partnership Fund Project, our team created a Self-Care journal/agenda, and WHAI is developing a resource. In the facilitation guide, there is a small piece of facilitator reflection that I had the honor of drafting.
