I really like the idea of co-facilitation, and really, of partner/team dynamics for most things.
In my world/mind, this does not mean that each person has to be a "talking head" walking around the circle, or named as facilitator. This could mean that another person was working with you for: pre-work, setting up the event, taking care of things like newsroom and coffee cups, and most definitely, holding space.
