Facilitator Archetypes: Navigating Institutions as Community Engaged Facilitators

About this episode

This episode explores the roles of community engaged facilitators through three archetypes: the doula, the smuggler, and the translator.

This podcast episode uses 3 archetypes: the doula, the smuggler and translator to explore the role that many community engaged facilitators take in navigating the institutions that they work within and for. Through the lens of these archetypes, we expand on the ways that community engaged facilitators leverage their power or position to work towards justice and safety for the communities they are accountable to. Embodying these archetypes as a facilitator is often either a deliberate choice or a reflection of the unique gifts each facilitator carries with them. With hosting, music, and production by Sherry Ostapovitch
