Meeting and Retreat Facilitation

The Mediation Center offers a variety of meeting and retreat facilitation services that can be adapted to meet the specific needs of your organization, business, or community group. Our facilitators have years of experience making sure that all voices are heard, keeping group meetings on track within time allotted, handling conflicts as they arise, and energizing the group throughout the session to complete their goals. 

Whether you need a facilitator or process-designer for a board retreat or a moderator for a heated community meeting, our mediators are trained to help. An outside facilitator brings a calm, confident, clear-headed, and fresh perspective. All members should be able to speak, be heard, and fully participate, while the group makes concrete steps to accomplish goals in a time-efficient manner.

Our facilitators work as process managers, working with you to design the right type of meeting for your group, your goals, and your space as well as the tools your group may need to keep the meeting on track and productive.
