Facilitation Development Programme – Module 6 Setting boundaries, connecting and building trust
This module explores the nature of trust in groups and between facilitators and individuals and communities.
We will also explore how to get a group started well, and what you can do in times of uncertainty.
What to expect?
This is the sixth module within your Facilitation Programme. It should take about 3 weeks to finish.
There are some deep dive materials based on neuroscience, that will build on some of the early work you have covered.

Work through it in your own way - binge or nibble?
Some people like to 'binge learn', meaning that they allocate a whole day, and sink into a thorough immersion in a whole module. Others prefer to work through a single lesson at a time, with gaps to let one idea sink in before going to another. Whatever your preference is, you are advised to book time in your diary, to ensure it happens regularly and you can keep up with the programme.
Different types of media to suit all needs
Each lesson will mix videos to watch, with material to read.
Plus there are downloadable handouts, worksheets, templates and checklists to print and take away, and keep for future reference.
Help always at hand
This programme has an external Programme Manager Julie, as well as your coaches Caryn and Bruno who have lots of experience working with your communities. You can reach them quickly and easily - by email or by the message function in your Dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I get stuck?
Always reach out to us - don't sit and suffer! You can simply email us at academy@lacertaconsulting.co.uk. Immediately Caryn or Julie will receive your email.
Alternatively, if you are still logged in and able to use the site, if you go to your Dashboard, you will see you can raise a message to us there or you can hit the button below.
How long can I access a module or individual lessons?
Your modules will be accessible to you for 1 year from the time you start them.
However in each lesson there are also PDFs, tools, products and exercises, that we think you will want to keep - you can download them, or print them.
What if I fall behind and out of step with others?
All significant learning commitments require some dedication. This means making conscious choices, and carving out the time to acquire, experiment with, and reflect on what you are exploring. Sometimes, this is going to clash with other priorities and occasionally it might feel a little overwhelming - even for the most dedicated learner. If you know that a busy period is coming up, plan for catch-up time in the weeks that follow.
If you have concerns about whether you will be able to do this, and if you fall behind at any time, just reach out to us and we will try to help.
Can I get direct help for me in my Monastery?
We know that you might be going through a lot of change, and it isn't easy for anyone.
If you feel your community needs extra support, then speak either directly to your Abbot President, or to the Continuing Formation Commission - who will liaise with us to see what we can do.
