Building on last year’s Council1 course, and the forming of a local community around the Way of Council practice, we are holding Council 1 again at the wonderful Timberyard Farm in Suffolk (a short drive from Norwich or Ipswich, and only just over 1 hour by train from London). In 2026 we plan to offer a Council 2 Going Deeper course, so this is the time to savour this more spacious 3-day Council and begin or continue your Council journey.

A 3 day training that allows you to experience this powerful set of group practices, and to learn the basics of facilitating your own Council circles.

This is experiential learning, where we learn by doing, gradually going deeper as our skills and confidence grow.

Typically offered in-person over a weekend, or online over 2 weekends, this course takes groups of 8-20 people on a journey of discovery, relearning long-forgotten arts of deep listening, honest speaking, shared vulnerability, empathy and connection.

Come and learn the essential elements of Council, its uses and benefits, its history, and its many forms & styles that enable it to adapt to different groups and situations. Discover first-hand the approach, skills, and aptitudes needed to facilitate Council circles that are safe and effective.
