YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THE MEMBERSHIP CLOSES IN
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 integrity 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 you find the work really challenging and you feel anxious, stressed and exhausted ...
The membership will help you understand the source of anxious and stressed feelings. You'll realise that the things that seemed to make you stressed and anxious will have so much less power in your life. You'll feel more confident and self assured, and you'll stop putting limits on what's possible for you
"Can't recommend Thriving Facilitators enough. I've been involved from the start, its an invaluable space for personal reflective practice & connecting with practitioners from all over the world with different disciplines is incredible."
Jennifer Walmsley

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can't make all of the sessions?
No need to worry if you cant attend a session. I record all of the sessions and I send them out to you. They are also contained on the Thriving Facilitators platform so you can access any workshop or training you have missed and watch them at your leisure. We have members from different time zones such as New Zealand and US and they are managing to fully engage, attend and view the materials.
Does Thriving Facilitators offer supervision?
I am offering reflective practice in a group setting which is a form of supervision (contact me directly if you are interested in 1-1 supervision). My approach draws on the seven-eyed model of supervision. I am currently in training to be a fully qualified supervisor and I have my own supervision.
Don't worry if you have never had supervision before. The sessions are warm, friendly, and non judgemental. Exactly what you need to get support.
I really want to invest in myself and I know I need support but I don't have alot of time available.Type something
The sessions happen at different times and days over the month ranging from short breakfast sessions at 7.45am, to lunchtime sessions, to evening sessions. You don't have to attend every session. The membership is designed to support you over the course of a year and this is reflected in its pricing. We all have times when we are busy or conversely when we need more support. You will find it a good idea to look at your support needs over the year rather than the week. The sessions are always recorded so you can catch up if you are having a busy period.
Additionally, I use some cool software so it is possible to search through videos, using any word, to find the topic you are interested in. So you don't even have to watch entire session if you don't have time. I also create small videos in the Facebook group which can also serve to keep you connected and thinking about topics even if you are really busy!
Can I leave at any time?
Yes if you are paying monthly. If you decide to leave and are paying monthly you can contact me and I will cancel the following month. Easy! If you signed up for the year with the bonuses including free months, you have 30 days following your sign up to decide whether you wish to stay in the membership.
What do I get when I join the Thriving Facilitators membership?
When you join you will get access to live (online) monthly supervision/reflective practice settings, Coffee morning / lunchtime online meet ups, Monthly Workshops/Trainings, A book club, Access to a private Facebook group, Accountability groups. An online platform with community form containing resources and trainings, A development pathway to support your reflective practice journey.
All the sessions are optional. We have a monthly focus and you can attend as few or many of the sessions as you like. The membership has been designed with busy schedules in mind so there is never any pressure to attend - this would defeat the point of enabling you to feel supported whilst you undertake your busy schedule.
Most sessions are recorded and contained in the Thriving Facilitators members area. I send out a weekly email letting you know whats happening and I often send out links to recordings in the email so its easy for you to access it!

I am also known as Dr Sheila Preston, a practitioner with over 23 years’ experience in education, community settings. I have trained and supported hundreds of socially engaged artists and practitioners.
I run Thriving Facilitators help brilliantly courageous practitioners who are serving vulnerable or 'hard to reach' groups in challenging settings* These practitioners are committed to working in a heart-centred, relational way with vulnerable or hard to reach communities. I help these amazing practitioners get out of survival mode and THRIVE so they can show up authentically and lead social change without burning out!
*settings such as, prison and probation, schools and universities, pupil referral, day centres, SEN settings, mental health, health care, social services, neighbourhoods.
Whether your starting point is to get fitter and physically stronger or you are wanting support to be mentally stronger in your challenging work. I can help you!
