The Fiona Tilley One: Facilitating deep learning

I first met Dr Fiona Tilley (or just Tilley, as I know her) as a participant on the Schumacher College Certificate in Education for Sustainability, a course I taught alongside Toni Spencer and Karen Blincoe many years ago.

Tilley arrived having stepped away from her role as a business school academic. She has a doctorate and a CV full of publications and research. And when she arrived, she’d run out of road within the confines of business school academic roles. She was looking for something that gave her space for a deeper exploration.

This conversation explores the place of space and facilitation in transformative learning, both from Tilley’s experience of that pivotal time in her life, and from her subsequent work as one of the most experienced facilitators of deep explorative journeys, taking people deep into renewed relationships with themselves and the wider living world.
