What is Transformational Facilitation?

 

Transformational Facilitation has at its core – transformational learning.  Transformational learning is accomplished in an environment of support and trust where ideas are shared and judgement is suppressed.  The key element is group interaction and an important benefit is ‘You are not alone.’

The goal of this type of learning is to reach higher possibilities rather than to simply gather new knowledge. Part of this happens because group members share different points of view and introduce alternative ideas into the setting. In a Transformational Facilitation environment, the participants are asked to reflect upon how experiences and beliefs have created their current reality.  The learner is led to explore her beliefs and consider if they uphold the best intent for her life. Many of the struggles or issues we face today are not only personal – they are part of the struggles facing humanity in general.  In Transformational Facilitation, we work on these issues – TOGETHER.  And in that lies the perfection of the process.

 

What is Feminine Power Transformational Facilitation?

Feminine Power Transformation focuses on 3 essential changes that need to happen in order to bring about Transformation. These changes occur in the following areas:

*Psychological   Change occurs in the understanding of yourself.

*Convictional     Change occurs in what you believe about others, about Life, about God/Spirit/the Universe, about who you really are and why you are here.

*Behavioral       Change occurs in how you behave, how you are showing up in accordance with your new beliefs.

 

 When changes happen on this scale, they alter the way we make sense of our life experiences, our beliefs, and what it is we hold to be true.  Changes in these areas cause us to develop new skills and new behaviors that coincide with our new beliefs.  When this happens, we adjust and, in essence, we have TRANSFORMED.

As in Feminine Power Transformational Coaching, Feminine Power Transformational Facilitation centers around self-actualizing through 3 Feminine Power Centers.  This is the heart of the Feminine Power program.

 

Power Center 1 – Breaking Through Your Inner Glass Ceilings.  This center deals with the old, limiting beliefs that you garnered throughout your life -beginning with your childhood and on into your adult life.  These beliefs are so engrained that you will behave according to what you believe about yourself.  For example, if you believe that you are not ‘good enough’, you will portray yourself as not being ‘good enough’ in your actions, your words, your thoughts, your dealings with others.  The Feminine Power Transformational process identifies 3 Inner Glass Ceiling areas that are most common among women.  They are Shame, Lack, and Isolation. These cause the 3 most common false beliefs among women. They are “I’m invisible, I’m alone, I’m not enough” Very deep work is done at this level and the breakthroughs that come about in this Center are POWERFUL!

 

Power Center 2 – Relationship to a Higher Power.  In this center, the focus is on ‘All of Life is organizing around our success.’  We learn that we are in a co-creative relationship with God, Goddess, Spirit, the Universe, whichever term you use to acknowledge a Source greater than you.  Here we access deeper ways of believing and creating.

 

Power Center 3 – Relationship with Others. This center acknowledges that ‘You cannot become yourself by yourself.’  We need each other; that is how we were created.  In order to become all that we can be, we need to give and receive support on multiple levels.

 

 

 

 

The Process of Transformational Facilitation

 

My goal and the goal of the Feminine Power Transformational method is to empower women to self-actualize, reaching the full realization of her potential so that she can become her very best version of herself.

 

The transformational facilitator opens up the field of transformation in 2 ways –

1.  Between the individual participant and the facilitator

2. Between the participants and each other.  This transformational field now becomes the container from which the unrealized potentials of ALL participants is activated.

 

There are Four steps to the Transformational Journey:

1.  Activating Potentials

2.  Questioning Assumptions

3.  Breakthrough

4.  Destiny Pathway

 

Step One   We connect to our deepest desires, as well as the biggest areas of gap or incongruity and start to bring forward our potentials.  By awakening our abilities, we will begin the process of self-actualization.

 

Step Two   We uncover the conflicts that have created the inner glass ceilings – those areas in your life where you have been struggling or been stopped from moving forward.  The focus in on the way we make sense of Life; this includes our behaviors, our beliefs, and the patterns of responding that we have created in response to our beliefs.

 

Step Three   We obtain our breakthroughs and leave behind the old stories of who we are and what we can accomplish.  We create new stories to reflect the Deeper Truth about ourselves and construct a new identity.

 

Step Four We start to create new ways of interpreting and responding to Life’s situations.  We are developing and generating new structures in our Life, while learning to become resilient in the face of breakdowns.  It is in this stage that we learn to turn breakdowns into breakthroughs!

 

 

 

What to Expect in a Transformational Facilitation Workshop

 

The premise of each workshop begins with the particular transformation that is going to be introduced – for example: identifying the old personal story that has been holding us back; how to change our relationship to money, food, the people in our lives; or how to relate to significant Life changes such as divorce, retirement, career moves, in a way that brings about growth instead of decline.

 

Meditation will take place before each session and very often, during each session, as well as at the end.

At times, simple, but effective, yoga poses will be introduced to further integrate the new concepts being introduced or to help calm our spirit as we begin to deal with our old stories.

We will process our releasing of the old and integrating of the new through pair discussion, small group discussion, and whole group discussion.  No one will ever be ‘put on the spot’ but all are encouraged to participate fully in order to achieve the transformation they desire.

The following steps generate the particular transformation process to get from where you are (point A) to where you need to be (point B).

 

Step 1  We begin to ACTIVATE OUR POTENTIALS by building rapport among each other and creating clarity of our purpose, goals and outcomes.

 

Step 2  We QUESTION ASSUMPTIONS by exploring the inner barriers, identify limiting assumptions and beliefs, and tackling our ‘old stories’ to find out how we, ourselves, are the creators of these ‘old stories’.

 

Step 3   We generate a BREAKTHROUGH by beginning to create a ‘new story’ about who we really are and what is now possible.

 

Step 4   We build our Destiny Pathway by formulating new ways of being and taking new actions as we step forward -  on our way to fulfilling our dreams!
