Workshop: Community Building Skills Training (CBST)

November 6–8, 2026
Budapest

Facilitator: Edward Groody, Founder of Community Building International

“There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community.”
M. Scott Peck

Community Building Skills Training is a three-day experiential workshop for people who feel called to deepen their capacity for honest, meaningful connection.

Based on the work of M. Scott Peck, the workshop invites participants into a shared process of presence, listening, silence, vulnerability, and authentic communication. Through simple practices and circle time, the group explores how real community can emerge when people are willing to meet themselves and one another more truthfully.

This is not a theoretical training only. It is a lived experience of what can happen when a group begins to slow down, listen more deeply, speak more honestly, and make space for difference, uncertainty, and genuine encounter.

Who is it for?

This workshop is for those who wish to cultivate deeper and more authentic relationships in their personal lives, teams, organisations, or communities.

It may be especially meaningful for people who work with others, hold space for groups, support communities, or simply long for more honest and human ways of being together.

Important note

The facilitator provides structure, guidance, and care for the group process, but the workshop is not therapy and does not replace therapeutic or medical support. The experience can be emotionally intense, so we ask each participant to consider their own readiness with care.

Full attendance is required for the three days.
