Advanced Facilitator Training

This training is for anyone who has come through our basic training who’s seeking more opportunities for feedback and conversation, advice for dealing with curveballs, and ideas for adapting the process to your unique audience. We are excited to provide this, and much more with our training that begins in November.

Facilitated by Crystal Arnold and Mike Strode, this training consists of five weekly 2-hour Zoom sessions, beginning Tuesday, October 1 from 8 – 10 AM Pacific Time.

“I will be taking this advanced training and becoming certified because the OANM is a unique way to maintain our humanity and center liberation. I ran an OANM with our mutual aid hub in June. Participants lit up and joyfully shared, with many immediate matches and ongoing connections. In my assessment debrief with Crystal, I was able to strategize about upcoming events and get personalized advice to develop my professional facilitation skills. I appreciate this practice showing up authentically in the training and my community.”
