Facilitation Frontiers series #2
2026-08-10 18:00 - 20:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Online
Facilitator: Julia Wolfson
In session 2, our mystery playground is experiential again. This time, finding the essence of the polarity that is hiding within a topic!! We are devoting a whole session to practicing as a group; discussing, grappling, understanding and playing with “setting roles” – first getting to know a universal essence within each side of a polarity. This can help to loosen a rigid interpretation and make visible an expanded and deeper reality in your zone.
In session 1, we expanded the idea of a group process from a programmatic formula to an experience happening any time any place. What makes any experience a group process? Facilitator Awareness! Why and how is that useful? To be more connected to your flow power! We focus on the art of topic meditation – notice your topic, and frame it! Sounds simple, but easier said than done! 🥰
In any process, be that an event, an actual session, or an experience of any kind, there are various frontiers to navigating the landscape you are in, and the path you uniquely take. Process Work facilitation provides a language and a map to traverse the terrain using your own self-generated compass.

What facilitation frontier do you want to cross? In this series, you will be guided to discover your unique way of doing that. Facilitation can be applied to any context, and knowing your personal and collective frontiers can help in honing your craft and facilitation love language.

FACILITATION FRONTIERS: my way, your way, our way

Welcome to Mystery Playground!
In every process — a meeting, conflict, conversation, event, relationship, classroom, organisation, or inner experience — there are frontiers.
Process Work facilitation offers practical prompts to navigate these living landscapes, and your innate compass.
Instead of a fixed formula, we develop precision in noticing living signposts emerging moment by moment
Together we will explore:

personal and collective frontiers in facilitating an unfolding of a topic or signal
how groups dream and signal
how conflict can become information for the facilitator
how to facilitate moment-by-moment with what is actually happening
and getting to know your own facilitation style that is already present

Facilitation can be applied anywhere:
leadership, coaching, organisational roles, therapy, education, community work, activism, teams, relationships, creative practice, at home and any aspect of everyday life.
You do not need to become someone else to facilitate well. Exactly who you are already contains a facilitation blueprint.
Possible themes

What Signal to Follow?
What just happened!
In the Thick of the Mess
Fear of conflict
Finding the polarity and setting roles
Unfolding Hotspots to Cool Spots
Not knowing what to do now
Facilitation team tips
Framing topics and moments

For:For facilitators, coaches, educators, leaders, therapists, organisers, Process Work students, Deep Democracy practitioners, and curious humans interested in navigating real life, relationships, groups, and teams with more awareness, creativity, precision, and connection.

Facilitation Frontiers #3: From hotspot to cool spot
2026-08-24 18:00 - 20:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Online
Facilitator: Julia Wolfson
Session 3 focus: From hotspot to cool spot, spotting and integrating ghost roles along the way.
Anyone with the desire to get unstuck occasionally from one sided misery/righteousness to help shift a mood or situation, can learn facilitator awareness. What may seem like an isolated moment and problem, is merged in an alchemical field of energies and experiences – past present and future. To make this field more visible, so you can find your point of joy to move with, is the essence of our mystery playground in this series. Our facilitation tools come from process science (Mindell) and a unifying spiritual attitude to life (the science of following your eternal nature’s signals). These atmospheric and tangible signals are the ground of many if not all spiritual and wisdom traditions including a secular orientation to life and nature’s gods and goddesses – nothing to do with religion, rules or morality.
In session 1, we expanded the idea of a group process from a programmatic formula to an experience happening any time any place. What makes any experience a group process? Facilitator Awareness!

In Session 2 in our mystery playground we practiced finding the essence of the polarity that is hiding within a topic!! We devoted a whole session to practicing as a group; discussing, grappling, understanding and playing with “setting roles” – first getting to know a universal value/essence within each side of a polarity. This can help to loosen a rigid interpretation and make visible an expanded and deeper reality before getting into a heated exchange.
Skill focus: Deepening a polarity to essence, Attitude focus: find what you love and follow it
Skill focus + attitude focus = your unique facilitation love language

The Path of a Warrior: Exploring conflicts in inner and outer worlds - conflict as a gift

The Path of A Warrior: The Inner and Outer Worlds – Conflicts as a Gift

This seminar explores conflict as a meaningful part of life and as an opportunity for growth and transformation whether crossing personal edges, navigating relationships, or engaging in community life. We introduce Processwork’s conflict phases as awareness tools for facilitating escalation, de-escalation, re-escalation, and the unfolding from hotspot to coolspot.

Pop-Up Facilitation: Conflict Cafe in Everyday life, Work and Dreams

☕ Conflict Café — Oslo, October 24–26, 2026. Conflict doesn’t wait. Three days of Process Work-based pop-up facilitation in everyday life, work and dreams.
📍 Rudolf Steiner University College, Oslo

Fee range and tuition Scholarships in the registration info
Conflict doesn’t wait for the right moment. It shows up at the kitchen table, in the team meeting, in body symptoms, relationship hesitations and irritations, and in the dream you woke from at 3am. It’s already in motion — in the body, between people, in the field around us.
In this three-day seminar we liken facilitating conflict to a pop-up café — a freshly ground triple espresso or a calming chamomile tea, depending on who you are and how you show up, in the middle of all of it.
Drawing on Process Work in the lineage of Arnold Mindell and the applied approaches of Max and Ellen Schupbach, we’ll work with three types of conflict information:

tiny signals that appear before a conflict fully appears;
long-term conflicts you don’t want to touch;
and tensions/conflicts you wish you could address but don’t yet know how.

We’ll practice the awareness moves that become available when you stop managing conflict and start getting curious.
Everyday life. Work. Dreams. All three are on the menu.
This seminar is experiential education.
How the three days work: Days 1 and 2 focus on the what and the why — building skills, attitudes and practices. Day 3 is a practice day — working live, with support and guidance, to hone your own area of facilitation interest, in the middle, in pop-up café style.
For those who like to read beforehand: The Leader as Martial Artist and The Leader’s 2nd Training, both by Arnold Mindell, are wonderful companions to this seminar.
For facilitators, coaches, educators, conflict resolvers, leaders, therapists, and curious humans. Process Work background welcome but not required.
What to expect: experiential exercises, short theoretical presentations to illuminate the experiential aspects, small and large group interactions
Venue: Rudolf Steiner University College, Professor Dahls Gate 30, Oslo — a cool village atmosphere with plenty of accommodation options, cafes and eating places nearby.
Morning and afternoon refreshments provided
Registration: Register below. full three days, or first two seminar days only.
