Holding Brave Spaces in Tough Times: A Workshop for Facilitators with Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg

As facilitators, we hold brave spaces in our workshops so that participants can discover, name, and claim what creativity, growth, changes, and even healing in their own strongest words. The lifelong art of facilitating such sessions well takes real-time attention, curiosity, courage, and preparation to help us navigate challenging situations, individuals, and groups with presence and compassion. Drawing from Transformative Language Arts and trauma-informed care, we’ll explore tools, words, non-verbal communication, and self-care that strengthen our facilitation practice, especially in tough times.

This workshop supports Community Building Art Works programs benefiting veterans, service members, military families, and healthcare workers. While ticket sales contribute to CBAW’s programs, Veterans, Service Members, and Healthcare Workers attend for free. The workshop will be recorded*, and a viewing link will be emailed to all ticket holders once it’s available.
