Thriving Facilitators
The membership closed for new members on the 28th November. Contact me on [email protected] to be informed when it opens next.
The supervision & community support you need to grow as a stronger, resilient practitioner making an impact in your sector.
Hello
Is this you?
If this is you, I know that
Thriving Facilitators can
support you to become a stronger,
more resilient practitioner
You’re a heart-centred practitioner who wants to bring more of ‘you’ into your work with others but you feel vulnerable and doubtful at times ...
Being part of Thriving Facilitators will help you to lean into your vision, and support you to show up with presence and authenticity so you can feel confident to know that showing up as YOU is enough
You came into your profession really wanting to make a difference - in the world, and to the lives of others; but the work is challenging and you feel anxious, stressed or just exhausted and depleted as a result ...
The membership will help you understand the source of anxious and stressed feelings and thoughts which means that you will begin to realise that the things that seemed to make you stressed and anxious have little power over your life. As a result you'll feel more confident and self assured, and you'll stop putting limits on what's possible for you
You are committed to the continued growth of your practice (not to mention your wellbeing) and would like regular supervision and reflective practice but you lack time and money.
The Thriving Facilitators Membership offers you an affordable and flexible approach to support for your practice in a group setting (in the comfort of your own home) where you can feel safe and supported to share your challenges and learn from others too.

Hi, I'm Dr Sheila Preston
I've worked with 100's of courageous practitioners, who like you, work in challenging community & educational settings. I know the work can be tough but I also know that you have huge capacity - more than you realise. Not having support can whittle away confidence and self-belief. So I will hold that belief in you until you realise you have everything you need to create the impact you want to create in the world.
I look forward to working with you inside the membership
Let's do this together.

Now is the time
You know, deep inside - that 'you' and your practice will grow immeasurably if you lean into the support and reflective practice that Thriving Facilitators offers.
You know, that for your practice to deepen and grow, you need supervision and reflective practice.
The membership has been designed to be affordable. If your circumstances change or you change your mind you can leave at any time - no questions asked.
The supervision sessions are safe, supportive and friendly. You absolutely don't need to worry if you haven't experienced supervision before. The sessions enable you to gently reflect on your practice and there is never any pressure to share.
You are a busy person. There's no requirement to attend everything - the membership has been designed as a sustainable, on-going provision so members pop in and out according to their need and schedules.
There are sessions at different times of the day to suit your schedule and timezone.
The doors to the membership are only open for for a short period of time.
Remember, what you pay will always stay the same, even if the price goes up for new members.
YOU and your clients will thank you for investing in yourself and your practice!
If you are still contemplating ... let me ask you
What could be possible if you if you were really thriving?
Let's do this together!
Come and join an international community of artist-practitioners investing in themselves and making a social impact in their communities!!

I can't recommend this enough! We all talk about how we need to practice our practice and support ourselves as practitioners and TF does this in a focussed way. In a time when our work in community and education is needed more than ever, and we are facing such huge challenges, I would suggest there hasn't been a better time to become part of this community.
