Expanding our Facilitation Toolbox

Macarios Thomas
What does facilitation really mean, and how do we bring it to life in the field? In this hands-on session, we’ll explore the heart of connection before content and play with creative ways to turn reflection and debriefing into powerful learning moments. Together, we’ll unpack what makes a sharing circle or debrief truly stick, and discover simple, engaging tools you can bring straight into your next program. Come with an open mind, and let’s expand our facilitation toolkit together!
About Macarios
Macarios started his outdoor journey back in 2013 and hasn’t really come indoors since. He’s passionate about turning adventures into opportunities for growth, whether that’s trekking up a mountain, cooking outdoors with students, or unpacking “teachable moments” by a campfire. For him, facilitation is about sparking reflection and laughter. He believes the best kind of learning happens when people feel safe enough to play, fail, and try again.
