Abstract

The art of facilitating and embodying the essence of transformation is a life-long pursuit of growth and reawakening. As facilitators of transformation, we are hopefully, in our successes and failures, learning and transforming ourselves at the same time as we are holding the space for transformation of others. Our growth as facilitators, teachers, and leaders is dependent upon our willingness to flow, move, and create a safe space with the collective needs and capabilities of the participants that we are working with in mind. Our ability to facilitate great change is equal to our own understanding of these shifts within ourselves. In this chapter, I explore the qualities of a facilitator, the principles of transformation, and the skills necessary to facilitate transformation for a group or individual. Most of the concepts that are explored are applicable to both the facilitator and the participants. My own life research into the art of transformation has suggested that there is no beginning or ending, no facilitator or participant, but an infinite flow of growth and exchange as both parties embody and understand what has to be let go of or embraced for transformation to occur.
