Deep Process: Using Humor In Facilitation & Conflict Resolution

Eris Weaver

Good process doesn't have to be boring! Learn how humor can help defuse tension and increase connection. We’ll discuss when (and when not) to use humor in meetings and conflict situations; the characteristics of humor – which are universal and which are culturally determined; and engage in games and exercises designed to strengthen your “funny bone.” Workshop leader Eris Weaver is a founding member of FrogSong (the ultimate party community), a professional facilitator and group process consultant, and a certified leader of the improvisational practice InterPlay. Come prepared to laugh!
