Jill Banting MAA, Visual Practitioner
Jill is a Visual Practitioner who translates dialogue into visual images. Her illustrations assist people to find key themes and stories within a dialogue. The visual harvest is a summary that reflects back to the group what has been heard and inspires new ways of thinking about complex subjects. Images can be used after the event is over in reports, emails, presentations and on web platforms to enhance visual communication and engagement. Her goal is to deepen the role of active listening, activate the visual brain and make lasting connections between individual voices and the collective story.
Jill has trained in the Art of Hosting, a suite of conversation techniques that includes Circle Way, Open Space and World Café. She is a facilitator of Writing Alone Together: Journaling in a Circle of Women for Creativity, Compassion and Connection. She holds a Masters of Applied Arts degree from Emily Carr University with a focus on Social Practice and Community Engagement. Her current training is in Visual Facilitation and Visual Coaching with Christina Merkley at the Shift-it-School. Jill lives in Campbell River, BC, Canada, on the traditional territories of the Ligwiłda’xw people; the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum and Kwiakah First Nations.
