Clinic is a term for a learning event where you act, practice and learn at the same time.
In our “everyday” lives, we are everything! We are our own facilitators, clients, leaders, followers, learners and researchers; in professional private settings, in our inner lives, and in our night dreams – with life as our final teacher and patron.
Process Work has applications in key areas of our collective and individual lives, including; Body-experiences, Relationships, Innerwork, Altered and Extreme states, Conflict Resolution, and Large + Small Group Work.
For facilitators, coaches, leaders, activists and practitioners in many walks of life, these are relevant intertwining aspects that come into play in a variety of ways. During this clinic, we will study, learn and practice the range of these different areas and focus on the significance of this multidimensional knowledge and awareness within the context of your own life.
We hope to learn and grow together by researching and practicing:
- Inner Work in public during conflict – the elixir that brings flow to cycling conflicts
- Working with intended and unintended escalations by the “other”, both personal and systemic – the elixir for creating safety and community.
- Differentiating roles and the individuals (all of us!) who fill them – the elixir to bring systemic change to communities.
- Fluidity with recognizing and working with diverse awareness levels, and deconstructing/unfolding edges. “Edge” is the Process Work term for a collective or personal role that blocks flow.
- Methods and tools for identifying and working with body disturbances, altered and extreme states, and relationship tensions.
These points are our learning focuses – we will practice as they come up, and also in designated slots of inner work exercises, large and small group processes, individual work within fishbowl settings, and theoretical presentations and discussions. We will apply these modalities according to the flow of the course and our collective learning process.
The Clinic is open to everyone – beginners, seasoned practitioners, and everyone in between! However, the learning focus for each will of course be individual and diverse. Your learning focus might be more on eldership, leadership, personal work, or professional practice, and might change as the days go by.
