ZEN FACILITATION

Our facilitation emphasizes experiential mediation and practice.  The facilitator follows a map without disclosing the direction and through a series of questions guides the learner without judging his/her answers. All answers are fine since that is where the learner is.

The facilitator absorbs the answers that the learner provides in order to encourage those behaviors that allow a shift in contextual thinking.  This exercise occurs repeatedly thus creating new mental models for the learner. The Zen facilitator listens during the learning experience and continuously concentrates on the development and not the outcome.

All the comments made by the learner are relevant and they are not judged. All definitions are held to the minimum and instead the facilitator uses examples and provides information to allow the learner to come up with her/his own definitions.

The facilitator controls his/hers one hundred percent of hers/his behavior of the fifty percent of the relationship with the learner — the learner/facilitator relations is equivalent to one unit. The facilitators six behavior are: Trust, respect, listening, acceptance, encouragement and support.
