Riverside Market

For our last LinC Activator of 2019, we’re thrilled to announce our venue is the new Riverside Market! Join us as we delve into the mysterious world of facilitation, and what it takes to be a facilitation practitioner. Most social innovation and community development mahi involves bringing people together around a particular kaupapa, issue, challenge or opportunity. What is facilitation? How do you do it well? Why does it make a difference?This will be a fun and interactive evening and a great opportunity to learn some practical facilitation skills. You will be working with two great facilitators. Please come early (from 5.30pm) for drinks and nibbles, and be ready for the workshops starting at 6pm sharp!--WHEN: Tuesday 3 December, 6-8pm WHERE: Riverside Market, Mezzanine FloorFree event with nibbles.--Hosts: Erica Austin and Billy MathesonMeet our guest facilitators:Natasha Zimmerman is the founder and creative force behind <a href="http://www.unchatter.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Unchatter</a>, an organisation focused on bringing meaningful connection to the world with thoughtfully curated experiences. She creates spaces where small talk is banned, a set of intentional “party principles” are laid out, and an array of deep question cards get people beneath the surface and into the good stuff. 
Natasha is originally from the US, where she was a healthcare executive before coming to New Zealand to pursue her PhD in Psychology at the University of Canterbury. Her current research is centered on belonging and connection in organisations, and she loves finding the juicy intersection of science, humanism, and practical application. Natasha’s driving force is helping every human see how much they matter, and she is lit up by working with organisations and individuals to cultivate meaning in work and in everyday life.
