The Head, Heart, Hand Approach To Faciliation
Trust the Process…
The head, heart, hand process is a holistic way to facilitate that involves honouring people’s various ways of understanding, experiencing, and behaving. By using this approach, facilitators assist in creating connections between our different ways of “knowing”. Every person’s path is unique and facilitators play a key role in guiding individuals and groups to awareness that resonates with their minds, hearts, and purposeful actions.
