NeverDoneBefore explores the edges of the art and craft of facilitation by challenging assumptions about what makes workshops work.
Our facilitators take the risk of testing novel concepts and new ideas instead of pushing best practices and polished methods.

It is not a lean-back or a done-for-you programme. Everyone learns but nobody teaches.
While others offer best practices, polished speeches and keynotes, at NDB we don’t talk over slides. We dare to try, play with boundaries, assumptions and methods and set the trends together.
With your Greenhouse Pass, you become a gardener as part of a global community.
We respect our shared purpose, our time, each other’s uniqueness, and ourselves.
We are willing to take risks, step playfully into the unknown, trusting that we cannot learn without failing.
We are generous with our knowledge, our energy and each other.
We believe in the value we deliver. Contact us to join a free taster session or, sign up, knowing that you can cancel within 30 days and get your money back without any questions asked.

NeverDoneBefore is an exclusive programme for a special breed of facilitators. A community composed of professionals, eager to lean into the unknown, taking risks and generously sharing their expertise.
The community’s exclusivity shall not prevent those from joining who share the commitment and mindset.
We convert 10% of full-price ticket sales into scholarship options to those who otherwise would not be able to afford NDB. You can chose between 4 different scholarship plans.

“In the last 9 months, I got to not only learn on a weekly basis from the podcast but also had a choice of 3 to 4 weekly offerings from workshops, open spaces, and discussions and a very active and responsive online community on Circle.
Here I could tap any time into the rich and extremely diverse knowledge and experience of the global community.”

“NeverDoneBefore is a dream come true! From amazing people to brand new tools and exquisite expertise.
Here I feel I can find it all, and if we can’t find it, we create it!

“NeverDoneBefore isn’t just one of the best facilitator communities I’ve come across, but one of my favorite communities period.
There’s just something so special about having a friendly group of new and experienced facilitators coming together in the spirit of exploration, to try out brand new techniques and tools, explore new ideas, and learn from each others’ experiences in a deeply curious, open-minded and accepting way.”
