Facilitated Listening Process

Are you part of a community that finds itself in tension or conflict?
Could you benefit from an external facilitator to support you as you move forward?

St Ethelburga’s facilitated listening process offers your faith community or organisational team the opportunity to explore tension and conflict in a structured, neutral, and safely held container.

From one off sessions, to a series of gatherings, our listening process can be tailor made to suit your needs and can take place in person at your location, online or in our Bedouin Tent. Our trained facilitators offer a reliable process that supports groups to hear and be heard and to reach a place of mutual understanding and clarity on next steps.
