'The Wisdom Of Not Knowing' with Donald Marmara | Monday June 16, 2014 | 5.30pm


How Can Not Knowing Make Me A Better Facilitator?
An experiential, interactive and playful workshop for facilitators
Enhance your facilitation skills by learning to let go of all theories, knowledge and expectations so you can perceive more accurately and apply your skills more effectively.
Not knowing” is not the same as ignorance.
Whilst knowledge and understanding is of course essential for effective facilitation, it can sometimes interfere with our ability to perceive accurately.
In this workshop we will explore how we can develop – or recover – the ability to set aside our knowledge so we can perceive innocently, through the eyes of a child.
As the Zen Master who said to his student that he can only learn from him when he has “emptied his cup”, we will discover what happens when we are willing to observe without interpreting.
This will clarify our bias and enable us to connect more authentically, and to apply our knowledge more effectively.
