Community-Building and PATH Training
Managing the Art of Living is anchored in the in the desire for
people to live full, rich lives - the lives they want to live - with
the support of family, friends, community and public resources. This
means full inclusion in the cultural, economic and civic life of the
community and the opportunity to make significant contributions.
Community-Building, Creative Facilitation and PATH are proven tools
and strategies for moving towards meaningful connection,
companionship and contribution and building creative and enduring
circles of support.

PATH Facilitation Training
September 24, 25, 26, 2008
Urbana Civic Center
108 E. Water Street
Urbana, IL 61801

In this three-day hands-on course,
you will practice some of the most valued organizational and person-
centered planning tools in use today. Participants leave inspired and
energized, with tools that they can immediately put into use at work
and in their personal lives.
Each participant...
has several opportunities to experience the various roles in person-
centered planning – being the PATHfinder, process facilitator or a
graphic recorder! Work will be in small teams… Practice makes
perfect!
We welcome:
people with disabilities,
families and extended family members,
friends and community allies, service coordinators,
educators,
human service staff and managers,
policy-makers and program managers,
leaders in civic, cultural, and congregational organizations,
anyone else who wants to help people journey toward a person-
centered approach to self-determination and full community
participation.
This is a team-building event
We encourage people to come with at least one person who they will
work with in the future. Participants will leave with a solid working
knowledge and the confidence to put these tools into practice right
away. Ideally, this means working with a partner
Our Presenters:
Jack Pearpoint and Lynda Kahn are co-leaders of Inclusion Press
International, based in Toronto. Jack is one of the principal authors
of PATH, MAPS, Circles of Friends and other great tools for
facilitation and planning. Lynda served for 9 years as state director

close its only institution in 1995. Lynda and Jack enjoy designing
learning and planning processes created to engage people in action
for social change.
