Event Description:
Full Leaflet: http://www.apricotcentre.co.uk/docs/Cocreate.pdf Process Work (Dr Arnold Mindell) now emphasises Earth-based awareness work for working on social and ecological issues. This approach to social and environmental problems helps us to move beyond traditional polarisations, bringing us in touch with a place of Deep Democracy from which complex difficulties can be addressed. Process Work brings together the outerwork of social activism with the innerwork of psychology and meditation, grounding it in our connection with the sentient earth. An aim might be 'how to be at home within ourselves while finding home and community on the earth'.
A seminar for those interested in 'resilient community' & the interface between Process Work and the Transition Movement; wanting to discover a sense of 'home' (ecos) while seeking sustainable change and solutions.
With complex social and ecological problems there is often a tendency to marginalise both; aspects of our inner diversity and the outer diversity of the situation.
- Can we make the needed societal changes without repeating the damage to each other and the environment in the process?
- What deeper skills and attitudes can help how we relate to one another in our families and communities?
- How can we deal with the complexities which arise when groups with different levels of privileges interact trying to make changes?
A weekend mixing theory, experiential skill-based exercises, group process, and the sharing and reflection on experiences. There will be opportunities to explore application to 'real' relationship, group or community issues as part of the workshop.
The seminar will be preceded by 2 weeks of online presentation and discussion of Process Work theory open to all participants held by Diploma holders and advanced
