Aorta: Facilitate for Freedom Fundamentals Training

Aorta - Facilitate for Freedom Fundamentals Training (Spring 2025)

This training lays the groundwork for people leading meetings, supporting decisions, and guiding conversations in social justice work.

2025 is a year shaped by political precarity and heightened pressure for our movements for liberation. As our groups convene to make decisions about tactics, budgets, and plans, we believe that how those meetings are facilitated can have a critical impact on both our outcomes, and the group’s culture. With skillful facilitation, we can unlock sharper strategy, deeper trust in our groups, and more precise focus in our formations. 

Aorta’s flagship 3-hour online Facilitate for Freedom Fundamentals Training lays the groundwork for how anyone facilitating a meeting can make choices that guide the group towards our most liberatory values. Through dynamic storytelling and real meeting examples, this training introduces two of AORTA’s facilitation pedagogy principles: remove barriers to full participation and the practice of principled disagreement.

The Facilitate for Freedom Fundamentals Training is for you if…

  • You facilitate meetings about decisions, conversations, and processes of collaboration in social justice work.

  • You are ready to reflect on your own group process facilitation practice.

  • You feel full alignment with AORTA’s commitment to move groups that we facilitate towards: deep democratization and collective governance, developing many leaders, building resiliency and healing, the practice of principled struggle.

Beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.
