Episode 8: Ending & Onwards
The way you wrap up a workshop matters just as much as how you begin it. A thoughtful closing email ties up loose ends, gathers feedback, and leaves participants with a sense of completion and connection. This week I'm sharing what goes into a meaningful post-workshop email, plus some reflections on the value of honest feedback and self-reflection for growing as a facilitator.
“...you have hopefully created a temporary alternative world in your gathering, and it is your job to help your guests close that world, decide what of the experience they want to carry with them, and reenter all that from which they came.”
- Priya Parker, The Art of Gathering
A quick heads-up: these episodes were recorded with a small beta group. From time to time, you’ll hear references to materials or links they had access to. But don’t worry — this won’t impact your ability to follow along. I’m sharing these episodes to give you a clear insight into the core modules and the teaching style inside the full programme.
