The Master Class is a 4 day event for experienced group facilitators where you will focus on developing your leading edge skill in facilitation or facilitative leadership.

A leading edge is a specific area of facilitation or facilitative leadership that you feel uncomfortable with or less confident in, or an area you would like to further explore and deepen your skill-sets.

Some examples of these areas could be:

Working with energy
Working with conflict
Working with power and creating power-with
Presence and presencing
Appreciative inquiry
Facilitated storytelling
Self organising networks and groups
Generating social change towards a sustainable world
Designing organisational interventions
Blended realities – face-to-face and online facilitation in various combinations
Working with play or any other dimensions of being a Whole Person

What you will learn

A deeper level of skill and understanding in the area you choose to work on - your leading edge.

An increase in confidence in your ability to work with the area.

Through the power of the group learning process you will deepen your exploration of collective intelligence and its impact on groups.

Course Content

Master Class is totally designed around the leading edges of the participants. As this changes from group to group there is no set content. Master Class emerges and is created in the moment as it unfolds.

“Zenergy has given me the tools to be a facilitative leader – seeing and acting on people's highest future possibility. To lead and facilitate others I need to get to know myself. For real. The Zenergy course is a very safe, challenging and fun way to get to explore yourself in the context of group work. I recommend this course to all team members and leaders from any industry. The knowledge is life knowledge. I wish all the leaders of the world would go to a Zenergy course; the world would be a happier and more efficient place.”

- Åsa Silfverberg - Learning Designer & Facilitator - Partner and Board Member at Hyper Island

The Experience

During the 4 days you will take on 2 roles.

As the group facilitator you will learn by doing, receiving coaching in the moment, and feedback from the group and the course leaders. Within a safe and creative environment you get the opportunity to work in real time on your leading edge. You get to identify what goes on internally for you, noticing what’s happening in the group and trying different interventions. You will see and feel the impact of these on the group in real time and thus what works and what doesn’t work. E.g. If your leading edge is working with conflict in a group then when conflict arises in Master Class, you will get to work with it as it happens. You will gain valuable insights into your own being (spirit, mind) and doing (approach, skills and behaviours) and how to apply them to your facilitation practice.

As a group participant you will give the group facilitator input, support, feedback and appreciation related to their leading edge and on the impact of their interventions. This generates a powerful group learning environment and is quite magical.

Self Care and Nourishment

As facilitators we need to stop and claim space for our own learning, self care and nourishment. The Zenergy Master Class is this space. The locations we choose are peaceful, and a welcomed opportunity to recharge our whole person and be part of an aligned community.

Upcoming Courses

“The Zenergy approach to facilitation has opened up a completely new domain for me. Experiencing Zenergy I have found facilitation to be a new form of leadership; a leadership rooted in co-operacy, real human connectedness and a new way of being at work. I have found all of the courses very useful, both for my professional role as leader and for my own personal development. Through Zenergy I have accessed new awareness and tools for generating powerful outcomes of groups. I have learned how to orchestrate group intelligence, where the sum of the group is greater than any individual contribution, but where every individual is fully recognised and can contribute in the best possible way. In many ways I have found the Zenergy teachings magical. I really hope that as many people as possible will experience and learn what I have. It changes the game you play. I would recommend anyone to Zenergy, particularly a new generation of leaders.”
