Film Circles Facilitator Program

Create Meaningful Community Conversations Around Healing, Compassion & Human Connection

You have invested years into learning, growing, and supporting others.

Yet many helping professionals still find themselves asking:

The Film Circles Facilitator Program was created to answer these questions.

Through a guided step-by-step process, you will learn how to host community screenings of The Wisdom of Trauma, facilitate safe and meaningful conversations afterwards, and create spaces where people can reflect, connect, and feel less alone.

Imagine Being Able To

✓ Bring important conversations into your community.

✓ Create meaningful events without needing a large audience.

✓ Facilitate discussions with confidence and compassion.

✓ Build authentic connections with people who resonate with your work.

✓ Grow trust naturally through contribution rather than traditional marketing.

✓ Develop practical skills you can continue using long after the program ends.

Why Film Circles?

Over the past 3 years, I have hosted 35 screenings of The Wisdom of Trauma followed by community integration events. Events were in different formats and sizes. 

Again and again I witnessed something remarkable.

People shared stories they had never spoken aloud before.

Strangers recognized themselves in one another.

Conversations that might never have happened suddenly became possible.

What changed lives was not only the film.

It was the space created around it.

Many practitioners began asking me:

How can I bring something like this into my own community?

This program was born from that question.

"People don't remember every word that was said. They remember how it felt to be seen, heard, and less alone. This is the kind of space you'll learn to create."
