What are Clouds?
Clouds are small groups of 5–6 people who meet weekly for 4 facilitated sessions. As a facilitator,

-
Holding space without fixing, advising, or steering
-
Knowing when and how to escalate if something feels heavy

You should not have a formal background in counselling or be using this space to practise therapy — the facilitator role is strictly focused on holding space and gentle facilitation, not therapeutic intervention

Comfortable being a warm, consistent presence for a small group
