Do you wish to make a contribution to the world, and be part of a larger movement?
Do you long to feel empowered and graceful in your leadership, and as a facilitator?

Training to Facilitate women’s circles with Sister Stories could be for you.
ONLINE FACILITATOR TRAINING 2020
This Spring, we are inviting skilled and empathetic women to become facilitators of the circles and pioneers of a global network of women doing this work.
“The act of telling our stories really does have a profound effect on me. It’s humbling, sweet, powerful. There is such unity and strength when women sit together…”
Lynette Greenaway, Sister Stories Leader 2018
This is an opportunity for you to step into your feminine leadership, to become a lighthouse for other women in your community and to take the gentle yet bold step of leading women in circle.
We are building a global community, and issuing the call for compassionate and committed souls to join us on this road to creating spaces where women can tell their stories and share their experiences freely.
We believe in the value of real life communities designed to meet the needs of the local area. The way a group gathers in London, for example, will be very different to the way a group gathers on the Isle of Arran or a town in Iowa, and we encourage facilitators to create their circles to best suit their local area.
“The training was a reminder that I believe in myself and I believe in women. I’m crossing a threshold into something new and I’m ready to make space, to stoke fires, to open my heart.”
Amelia Donkor, Sister Stories leader 2019
As such, for the very first time, we are offering the opportunity to train online as a global Sister Stories facilitator, opening up the training to those who are unable to travel to London for our in person trainings.
The online space is an access point to enable those who wish to bring the magic of women’s circles work to their community, enabling a wider women of work to participate, providing the foundations for deep, rich, online connection.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Stepping into circle leadership is a journey of inner and outer transformation. Dazzling in its simplicity, and daunting in its complexity, holding space for a group of women takes skill, compassion and courage.
The facilitator training is designed to give you the practical, emotional and spiritual tools to step into circle leadership and bring Sister Stories to your area.
You may be experienced in leading or attending women’s circles or you may never have sat in circle but are brimming with curiosity; this training is designed to support both those who are brand new to circles and those who are looking to deepen their circle leadership practice. The training provides a clear framework for facilitating circles and connects you to an invaluable support network of women also doing this work.
By the end of the training, you will be qualified to lead Sister Stories circles and will have the tools, both practical and emotional, to do so.
