Meetings don’t have to be painful! Join this interactive session to learn how to plan, structure and run a team meeting that is effective, productive and joyful.

In this workshop, guided by Maddie Marmor, we will work through scenarios so that you leave equipped with practical skills to build morale and team cohesion on your farm. You will receive a template of how to run a meeting as well as tips and strategies to keep a meeting moving towards concrete and achievable next steps. Participants will gain insights from Nonviolent Communication practices, facilitation training, and other practical frameworks and strategies that support great teamwork and the efficiency that comes with solid communication. This session is back by popular demand after drawing a packed room at the 2024 EFAO conference. Even if you attended this session at the conference, the online venue and new attendees will make for continued learning and discussion.

Madeline Marmor is currently based in Tkaronto/Toronto and is a first generation, landless farmer, facilitator and Circle keeper. Having organized at the intersection of food, land, climate and justice for just under a decade, Madeline works with other movement witches, educators, farmers and community hosts to hold space for the emergence of a just, more equitable (food) future, which she thinks is completely possible, if not inevitable!
