Open Forum on Our Changing Climate: Inner Resilience and Emotional Awareness 6th September 2021 6.45 pm until 9 pm

The climate crisis is the biggest challenge we face. It can awaken a passionate sense of purpose and imagination. It can also bring up overwhelm, grief, and other strong emotions. How can we understand the relationship between our inner turmoil and the outer crisis? If we were to take care of these experiences, how might they support creativity and change, both for us individually and together?

This online forum is an invitation to explore and relate to the feelings and perspectives that appear for us in relation to our changing climate. Collectively we have a lot to learn from and with each other. 

4 speakers will present short introductions, followed by a facilitated conversation we can all take part in; welcoming views and insights from all, noticing and learning about the feelings and ideas that emerge.

There will be a space for smaller group conversations as well as participation in breakout groups to support the opportunity to speak, to process roles and views and to connect.

2. LIVING CLOSER TO THE BONE

A talk and classes with Kim Ward

Kim will give a talk on ways we can access our deeper natures, using Processwork skills. Through processing the disturbances and paying attention to the less known aspects of ourselves and our relationships; we can make sense of, and give expression to our less conventional aspects, live a fuller life – living closer to the bone.

Classes:

Fortnightly classes, where Kim will teach Processwork skills and some theory in a small group setting. The classes will focus on supporting our inner perceptions, facilitating our inner tensions. We will explore the relationships between different inner and outer roles. And how night-time dreams offer other perspectives on our relationships to ourselves and others.

Previously in 2014 

Open Forums  in Edinburgh 25th February and 22nd April 2014 6:00pm until 8pm

The topic is the Future of Scotland, and our purpose is to provide and opportunity to explore the complexities of identity, values and ideology that affect how we think and approach this issue in 2014. We don’t have a yes or no agenda but want to help everyone explore the deeper processes that pull and push us and excite or irritate or deeper motivations and opinions.

We will be using a facilitation method from Processwork which has an attitude and principle ( called Deep Democracy) to help all views and levels of awareness in a group to interact. The method is used in a range of settings and contexts including conflict resolution, community and political forums, street facilitation, theatre and the arts and in the mental health system.

The Body’s Role in Awareness

An introduction to Process Work and the  Dreambody concept - how body experiences reflect our night-time dreams and offer gateways to the future and guide us to be the people we can become. Process oriented psychology sees the body problem, symptom, dream or disturbance as a ‘process’ that needs to be unfolded, grasped and understood but has now become present in the body as a ‘state’.

One Day Workshop in Edinburgh on Saturday 25th May 2013

Who said that?

An introduction to a process-oriented view of communication. We will explore how we communicate with ourselves and with others. How the unknown, unexpected and unintended ways in which we communicate are the signals of a much deeper process waiting to unfold. 

Classes in October- dates to be confirmed soon
