You don’t need a diploma.
You need the method and a few people.
The workshop only exists because people choose to host it. The book gives you everything you need.
Why this matters.
Our workshop is designed to be reproduced. Every workshop, in every language, in every city, depends on someone deciding to gather a group and walk it through the cards.
The project’s strength is that the bottleneck is not expertise — it is willingness. If you have:
- The book (which contains the complete method)
- A small group of adults (ideally fewer than 15)
- Two hours
- A willingness to listen more than to lecture
…you can run a workshop.
What the book gives you.
The book is not a “summary” of the workshop — it is the workshop, documented in full:
- The complete script, step by step, with timings for each of the seven phases
- The facilitator’s posture: how to introduce the session, manage disclosures, defuse confusions, redirect when needed
- Notes on each card: the evidence behind it, the common misreadings, the conversations it tends to provoke
- Vocabulary guidance — what words to use, what registers to avoid
The book is available in 15 languages in paper edition (via Amazon), in PDF, and in ePub.
Who can facilitate.
You don’t need to be:
- A psychologist, clinician, or therapist
- A trained educator
- A specialist in sexual violence
- A particularly extroverted person
You do need to be:
- An adult
- Comfortable saying “I don’t know — let’s think about it together”
- Able to follow a structured method rather than improvise
- Willing to listen attentively, without rushing or judging
- Aware of the local resources you can redirect someone to, if needed (see our Safety & Support page)
If you’re unsure whether you’re ready, the most useful first step is to attend a workshop yourself, as a participant.
How a first workshop typically unfolds.
- You read the book — about 2-3 hours, with notes
- You gather a small group — friends, colleagues, a community circle, fewer than 15 people
- You book a quiet room — a living room, a meeting room, a community centre
- You run the workshop — 2 hours, following the script
- You debrief, with yourself and ideally with the group, about what worked and what surprised you
After the first one, the second is even easier.
What facilitators say.
Going further than the book.
If you want more than the book — structured guidance, a clearer methodological foundation, or simply a more confident start — our online certified training is the path we recommend.
Online training (Certified Facilitator)
The online training is the natural next step after reading the book — for those who want to facilitate workshops with confidence, in professional settings, and be recognised publicly as a certified facilitator.
The book remains the foundation in either case — the trainings build on it rather than replace it.
