We're back! Facilitating Cultural Change 2026

⭐ Why FCC, Why Now?

This week’s reporting lays bare the layered terrain we’re standing on: families carrying trauma long after detention, chaotic arrests inside courthouses, teenagers held in hotel rooms, federal officials refusing accountability — alongside lawyers, elected leaders, and everyday neighbors refusing to stand down. The surge may be quieter, but the weight isn’t. We’re responding to immediate harm while also pushing for eviction protections, defending public health funding, and demanding system accountability. Life hasn’t paused. Rent is still due. Care is still needed.

This is exactly why Facilitating Cultural Change exists. In moments like this, changemakers don’t just need urgency — we need structured ways to analyze systems, understand power, manage conflict, build collective identity, and move from reaction to intentional action. FCC is a toolkit for this terrain. Grounded in developmental frameworks, social movement theory, trauma-informed practice, and intercultural competency, it equips leaders to hold crisis and strategy at the same time — and to build toward justice even as the ground shifts.

If you’ve been craving a learning space that’s human, brave, grounded, and actually effective (instead of, say, a politely facilitated spiral into jargon-land), block out June 1–5, 2026. FCC isn’t a technical workshop. It’s a developmental experience. It changes how people lead.

⭐ What You’ll Learn Over Five Days

FCC weaves together intercultural development, movement analysis, trauma-informed practice, conflict skills, and systems change tools. Across the week, you will:

Understand your intercultural developmental edge and how to grow it
Learn to bridge across differences without losing authenticity
Strengthen your ability to hold conflict in productive, skillful ways
Work with power intentionally and contextually
Explore trauma, resiliency, and how our nervous systems shape leadership
Build cultures of mattering, belonging, and equity
Connect theory to real-world application in your organizational context

This is leadership development that’s honest, spacious, practical, and deeply aligned with justice.
