Holding Space Part 1: Strategies for Anti Oppressive Facilitation

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

How can facilitators hold space in ways that are truly anti-oppressive? Explore strategies for facilitation that center the needs of Black, Brown and Indigenous people, disabled people, LGBTQ+ folks, survivors and more. We'll examine how various approaches and activities can build solidarity and safety in group settings. We'll deepen our existing skills and leave with shiny, effective new tools for liberatory facilitation. This is part one of a two-part series.

Autumn Brown

Autumn works as a facilitator, political educator, trainer and consultant in service of movement building and social change. Over the years, she has facilitated with community and movement organizations in a wide variety of fields, including reproductive justice, education, urban planning, food and environmental justice, anti-violence, green entrepreneurship, alternative transportation, radical social change, and independent media. Her focus as a facilitator is community and organizational transformation through the implementation of egalitarian decision-making practices and anti-racist, anti-oppressive analyses. Her motivating principle is that we cannot create sustainable and transformative social change without using transformative models for doing the work. Autumn utilizes a popular education and emergent design methodology in her client work, while also rooting in black, brown, and indigenous traditions and histories., AORTA
