- Do you yearn for more real life connection and community in your life?

- Do you wish to make a contribution to the world, and be part of a larger movement?
- Do you long to feel empowered and graceful in your leadership, and as a facilitator?

TRAINING TO FACILITATE WOMEN’S CIRCLES WITH SISTER STORIES COULD BE FOR YOU.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Stepping into circle leadership is a journey of inner and outer transformation. Dazzling in its simplicity, and daunting in its complexity, holding space for a group of women takes skill, compassion and courage.
The facilitator training is designed to give you the practical & emotional tools to step into circle leadership and bring Sister Stories to your area.
You may be experienced in leading or attending women’s circles or you may never have sat in circle but are brimming with curiosity; this training is designed to support both those who are brand new to circles and those who are looking to deepen their circle leadership practice.
The training provides a clear framework for facilitating circles and connects you to an invaluable support network of women also doing this work. By the end of the training, you will be qualified to lead Sister Stories circles and will have the tools, both practical and emotional, to do so.
Modules 1-3 are available immediately once you sign up and modules 4-6 will be available from 2nd April.
The time is now...
Course Curriculum
The training is led by Gemma Brady, founder of Sister Stories.
Gemma is a documentary maker, creative mentor and founder of Sister Stories. She has dedicated her life to creating spaces for people to tell important stories, be it on film, in writing or in their community. She believes in the healing power of storytelling and the power of the generous acts of both speaking and offering deep listening. Her 10 year career in has seen her creating BAFTA award winning content across a variety of media from documentaries to video games. A former Commissioning Editor leading Channel 4’s public service content for teenagers and now a freelance Series Producer of documentaries such as 24 Hours in A&E. Across her career, she has helped hundreds of individuals tell their most intimate, moving stories. She recently contributed several essays to 'As You Are', a book from Department Store for the Mind which celebrates our individual uniqueness and the importance of listening to the stories of our Elders.
In 2017, Gemma created Sister Stories as a means of offering women an opportunity to come together and experience the transformative power of being seen and heard and has since held hundreds of circles in the UK & US. What started as a simple women's circle gathering in London has grown to a thriving, supportive movement women leading Sister Stories gatherings.
This is an opportunity for you to step into your feminine leadership, to become a lighthouse for other women in your community and to take the gentle yet bold step of leading women in circle.
We are building a global community, and issuing the call for compassionate and committed souls to join us on this road to creating spaces where women can tell their stories and share their experiences freely.
We believe in the value of real life communities designed to meet the needs of the local area. The way a group gathers in London, for example, will be very different to the way a group gathers on the Isle of Arran or a town in Iowa, and we encourage facilitators to create their circles to best suit their local area.
