On-going learning

Weaving Connections offers trainings in these modalities:

Facilitation approaches for community space holding & transformation

Holding space for others is a gift and a privilege. There are powerful transformative learning philosophies and practices to support a learning environment that truly honours the lived experience, insights and desires of the learners in the space. 

These on-going learning is an opportunity to increase one’s capacity as a facilitator and space holder for any transformative learning and change context. This can apply to almost any context from alternative, community healing to community-based social justice. These teachings include the foundational elements of Transformative Learning around program design & evaluation, participatory approaches for learning, using creativity to stimulate the imagination, strategies to support diversity and inclusion and more.

Theatre of the Oppressed

The work of Augusto Boal emerged during a time of profound oppression and resistance in 1960s Brazil. He created space for individuals and communities to share their experience and “rehearse for the revolution” using theatrical and participatory games and processes. Theatre of the Oppressed is a powerful tool for embodied exploration and emancipation. 


Theatre of the Oppressed can be explored either as more generally or can be used to engage specifically in a particular topic of focus. It offers us an opportunity to activate our sensory awareness, use the body for critical reflection and an entry point to deep dialogue around themes of oppression and liberation. It then invites us to use our creativity and imagination to envision the types of change we seek for ourselves and our communities. It is also  powerful performative practice engaging audiences in participatory problem-solving, generative dialogue and can even be used to initiate policy change.

Reiki Level 1 & up

Usui Reiki training is an invitation to take your own healing in your beautiful, empowered hands. The philosophy and practices of Reiki are simple and accessible to all - inviting a self-care practice in service to your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being and as such the well-being of all. These times of transformation, revolution and change can often be chaotic, discombobulating and energy consuming. Reiki supports mind, body, heart and soul vitality.
