Forum Facilitation Training 1

with Ina Meyer-Stoll and Achim Ecker, founding members of ZEGG in Germany and long term international teachers of ZEGG Forum.

Forum means "I want to know who you really are" — and the decision to follow your heart. It is a communication process that fosters cooperation, empathy, and real contact.

Beyond participation, toward facilitation

You may have experienced Forum before: that rare quality of presence, the courage of someone stepping into the center, the
way a group can suddenly breathe together. Perhaps you have felt the call to help create that space for others. 

This training is for those who want to go further. Not just to receive the process, but to learn to hold it. Becoming a Forum
facilitator is not primarily a technical skill, it is a path of inner development. It asks you to deepen your self-knowledge, to work
with group dynamics, and to cultivate a quality of presence that others can trust. This takes time, practice, and real experience in
community.

Forum is more than a technique. It is a culture-building process rooted in human and ethical values.

After the Basic Training, the program continues with 4 parts:

• Training 1 (4 days, 19–23 May 2027): Deepening community
  experience — learning to read the field and feel what is alive
• Training 2 (6 days, 22–27 June 2027): Learning to hold Forum,
  practicing facilitation under supervision
• Supervised practice period: Facilitating in regional groups,
  receiving feedback, building real confidence
• Training 3 (6 days, 12–17 October 2027): Integration,
  refinement, and networking — stepping into your role as a
  facilitator

What is in the mix?

Across the full year, you work with Forum practice, teachings, meditation, body awareness, improvisation, and small group work, alongside individual processes and peer supervision. The learning happens not just in the training room, but in the spaces between: in how you relate, how you listen, how you show up.
Rooted in decades of lived community experience at ZEGG and before, the training draws on a wide range of approaches to conscious community-building. You will develop your own facilitation style while being held by a clear ethical and human framework.

Methods: Forum, Teachings, Meditation, Body Awareness, Improvisation, Small groups.

Who is this for? This training is for people who live or work in community, who share a vision with others, and who feel called to
support the growth of their group. It suits those who value personal responsibility, authenticity, and deep human connection, and who are ready to commit to a year of genuine transformation.

Ready to begin? Join us for this transformative journey into real community, authentic communication, and deeper self-knowledge. Places are limited — secure your spot for the whole training and take the first step on a path that could change the way you live and work together with others.
We look forward to meeting you.
