Building Belonging

Refining Skills for Connection

Belonging is one of our greatest needs. Yet, significant connection with others takes skill and intentionality to become meaningful and mutually beneficial.

Building Belonging: Refining Skills for Connection is designed to help you build communication skills and self-awareness, as well as to give you an opportunity to build some connections.

Dates, Times, Location:

When: Saturday, May 10, 2025 10:00 A.M.–4:30 P.M.

(includes lunch break)

Where: Mont Flouri 2, Fes

The specific location will be provided one week before the event.

You Will leave Having:

  • Learned 4 or more skills for building belonging.

  • Practiced those skills in a small group.

  • Spent time building connections with 2-3 others.

  • Discovered more about your own relationship to the topic of belonging.

What to Expect

We’ll share a number of skills and concepts designed to help you build belonging. We will do more than talk about the theory. You’ll have an opportunity to see demonstrations and immediately put into practice what you’re learning with a small group that will remain the same throughout the day.


You’ll not only learn skills, but you’ll actually build belonging throughout the day.


Active participation in small group discussions will be a core part of this learning experience and interactive workshop. All participants will be invited to contribute. It is important that each person participate in the discussion in order to build trust for the whole group.

Facilitators

  • As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I find it a privilege to work with couples and individuals in deep, meaningful ways. I also enjoy facilitating learning and growth in groups—seeing how we all can contribute to one another.

    I’m excited about this training for three reasons: 1) I believe connecting with others is sacred. 2) I know that what we’re presenting works—I’ve seen it work in my own relationships, including in my marriage to Katie. 3) I get to present it with Katie.

    I have lived in Morocco for almost 28 years.

    In my down time, I love mountain biking, hiking, reading, and watching a good NASCAR race.

  • After our physiological needs, the most important aspects of life most certainly come from the connections we create with others. I’m passionate about helping people connect in more meaningful ways that construct rather than destroy.

    I love facilitating learning in an adult centered, interactive way. It thrills me when, after a full day of training, someone says, “Wow, the time just flew by—I was never bored.”

    I have a Masters in Organizational Psychology, am a Professional Certified Coach, and an Endorsed Facilitator with the International Association of Facilitators. A lot of my learning on these topics has come through training like this and doing the hard work of putting things into practice in my real life—especially with Tim. He has been the recipient of lots of practice!!
