PROGRAM DETAILS

“Facilitation is not about leading from the front, it’s about standing beside your clients, present and open.”

The Art of Group Facilitation: The Power of Presence is an immersive, 8-part professional development course thoughtfully designed for therapists, counselors, addiction professionals, and anyone who leads group therapy or support groups. Presented by TJ Woodward, author of Conscious Recovery, Conscious Being, and Conscious Creation, this training invites you to step beyond the traditional facilitation models and discover a deeper, more presence-based approach to group leadership.

Rooted in the Conscious Recovery Method, this course emphasizes the importance of authenticity, energetic presence, root causes, and curiosity in fostering meaningful group connections. Rather than focusing solely on behavioral strategies or rigid interventions, the series explores how the simple act of showing up fully and holding compassionate space can unlock profound healing and transformation within a group setting.

Throughout the eight episodes, you will gain a deeper understanding of:

  • The energetic dynamics that unfold in group settings and how your own presence influences the room.
  • Foundational principles of presence-based facilitation, including the power of non-judgmental awareness and openness.
  • The unique role of the facilitator as a guide rather than an expert, trusting the inherent wisdom within each participant.
  • Essential best practices and skill-building techniques to ensure a safe, inclusive, and transformative group environment.
  • Live demonstrations where TJ models real-time facilitation, offering clinicians the chance to witness presence, curiosity, and attunement in action.

You will also learn how to cultivate an authentic group dynamic, foster trust among participants, and navigate challenging moments without resorting to fixing, diagnosing, or over-directing. Each episode blends theory with practical application, ensuring that facilitators can immediately integrate these skills into their professional practice.

This course is ideal for professionals in the SUD field; whether you are leading groups for the first time or seeking to refine and deepen your existing facilitation skills. By completing this training, you will feel more confident, grounded, and empowered in their ability to lead groups that are client-centered, trauma-informed, and genuinely transformative.

The most powerful experience we can offer is simply staying in the discomfort, even for only a few minutes. For some clients, it may be the longest they’ve ever stayed present with their pain.
