What’s a Zenergy Facilitation Masterclass?
Zenergy Masterclasses are opportunities to explore emergence within a group context. It’s common at the Masterclasses to experience the sensation of being on the edge of something mysterious, exciting and a little bit dangerous. There is an invitation to find out who I am in that space and how it relates to who I am in the rest of my life, as an individual, as a colleague and as a musician.
Generally I see most facilitators go into a session with a pretty clear idea of what’s going to happen. Facilitation means all sorts of things these days and it gets confused with roles like ‘teacher or coach ’. In a Zenergy context, ‘Facilitator’ means ‘expert process guide’. The role of a Zenergy facilitator is to guide the energy of the group they are working with towards a purpose that the group itself has aligned around. So it’s not subject specific. However the key tool of presence…. (in the form of say, listening and super clear communication, for example) can be applied to any kind of facilitation, including teaching.
A Zenergy facilitator has a kete of processes & resources that they have experience working with in groups. So there is a confidence in introducing processes, and opening portals of potential within those processes. This can only be developed in practice.
The Zenergy masterclass is the place to practise.
Best selling author Dale Hunter, who co-founded the company in 1990, will be present at this masterclass. Dale is stepping down from her role and there will be a celebration of the last 30+ years of her work.
I will be there too ( Kāren ) , I’ll have my instruments and my laptop to play music & talk about astrology with participants if asked.

Facilitators are the new leaders
“Change and complexity are constants in today’s world and the need to create peer environments that are flexible, responsive and rich with possibility has never been more pressing.
People from business, not-for-profit organisations, government and the community are discovering that facilitation provides the means for them to work more effectively together. As a result facilitation skills are in increasing demand.
Facilitators provide a unique style of leadership. They strive to create richer, more potent relationships and in doing so unleash the potential of the groups and teams they work with. Supporting people to work effectively in the face of uncertainty, catalysing new ways of working together, generating commitment and having people extend themselves in service to their agreed purpose – this is the domain, and the art, of facilitation.”
Zenergy Ltd has been providing facilitation and coaching training since 1993. It has an international reputation with over 3000 participants around the world and is widely regarded as being on the leading edge in the development of the profession of facilitation worldwide.
The Zenergy Facilitation Master Class
Now senior Zenergy leaders, Dr Stephen Thorpe and Dr Dan Ducker, are leading a Zenergy Facilitation Master Class in Tauranga on Thursday 19 October – Sunday 22 October.
The Master Class is an opportunity for experienced group facilitators to receive feedback and coaching towards fine tuning their practice, and to uncover new ways of tapping into the full potency of groups.
Mastery is an ongoing journey of refinement and at times transformation. The Master Class provides the support and incentive to try new ways of being and doing that enables those steps towards mastery to be taken. Each participant works on their own chosen area of development – their ‘leading edges’. Participants try out new approaches in a supportive environment and experience the enhanced learning from the ongoing coaching and feedback provided by Dr Stephen Thorpe and Dr Dan Ducker.
The Master Class is ideal for those who are serious about deepening their facilitation skills, the programme is also a module in Zenergy’s Diploma of Facilitation – created for those interested in undertaking the development necessary to become competent, professional facilitators.
