SUMMARY:Cutural Ghost Role Whispering
DESCRIPTION: \nMain idea: Cultural ghost whispering is a light hearted way to describe the sophisticated art/science of decoding cultural/social norms that are super smart at stopping us from following our joy path. We can hate them\, fight them\, ignore them\, but their resilience at making us feel bad about ourselves\, get into fights on the inside or outside or clock out\, is second to none. Here we are not so focused on judging this “cultural ghost role” – rather we practice “joining” and open up to its crucial message for crossing into new lived potentials. The term “whispering” is a nod to a timeless open secret: Hating something may be good for some things\, but loving something is a surer way for it to reveal its deeper wisdom and move us into new potentials. If this fascinates you and you are up for a friendly workout in the ghost role gym\, this is for you!\n\nScholarships available for GS Process Work students and some situations.\n \n22 September  – Work and Projects: Vision and strategy stabilisers\n\nRECORDINGS available for all sessions anytime:\nDates: 23 June\, 28 July\, 25 August\, 22 September 2025\nTiming: Mondays 4-6pm Bangkok\, 12-2pm Nairobi\, 11-1pm Berlin: 7-9pm Sydney\nAddress: Zoom link sent after registration & before the class\nFacilitator: Dr. Julia Wolfson  www.turningforward.org \nMember Deep Democracy Alliance\n \nSession Themes\n\n22 September  – Work and Projects: Vision and strategy stabilisers \nRECORDINGS AVAILABLE FOR: \n25 August  – Beliefs: Religion\, no religion\, spirituality\, secularity   \n \n28 July – Resources: Money\, no money and getting/losing money \n23 June – Family +like-family: parents\, caregivers\, kids\, dynamics\, belonging/not/belonging etc\n\nEach session is continuous and also stand alone. Hope to see you there! Wondering if this is right for you? write to Julia at julia@turningforward.org\n\n\n\nFirst a personal message:  \nThis experiential Process Work lab is the result of grappling with horrible critics\, self-psychologising and survival reflexes. This humble fruit is born from the beautiful Process Work/deep democracy life long learning tree where I have gained beyond what I dreamed possible from my DDI studies and teachers. I personally learn best by trying out\, making mistakes and trying again\, and excitedly framing my discoveries for myself. I love to learn by teaching\, and teaching to learn together.\n\n\nThis facilitation lab focuses on a topic I am currently gripped by: cultural ghost roles. These are often so hard to see and catch in the act – especially if like me you were culturally bred on personalisation\, successes and failures. Doing this work alone\, is for me almost impossible. I need this workshop for me\, so I am offering it to others who enjoy co-learning\, grappling and growing in good company! \n\nIn that spirit\, now to the topic of cultural ghost roles: \nBattling against an internalised personal attack can feel like a lost cause in a repetitive cycle of an occasional win and mostly losses. This facilitation lab offers an alternative option\, in making visible the cultural roles that constellate inner critics. Playfully here called cultural Ghost Role Whispering!\n\n Cultural ghost roles are everywhere … timespirits with a life of their own roam around in the air and make you think you are the problem. They masterfully block you from going down deep to find the core of a thing you love or hate within yourself\, beyond right and wrong where true personal power and universal experience rise up.\n\nCultural ghost roles are those time spirits that belong to collectives\, regions and groups with a particular focus – dressed up in personal clothing so you think they are you or someone else. They linger and seep into your psychology and can turn you against yourself. They are everywhere and nowhere. You feel hurt and rejected. You feel blocked from accessing your free spirit and creative potentials for living according to your own manifesto.\n\nCultural ghost roles also have crucial hidden information to stabilise any experience\, negotiation or strategy – be that at home\, work\, relationship\, conflicts\, inner work\, spiritual experiences and world events beyond our control\, and of course projects and organisational visions and strategies. To get to that essence\, is a process of unfolding – ghost role whispering. You can’t unfold a thing you hate; it wont reveal its secrets to you. Take them for granted and push them away …. you can expect them to come back and bite you in the bum.\n\nCultural Ghost whispering has a creative twist. When unfolded\, the role’s disturbing content draws you down deeper into its essence-like roots beneath the cultural pattern to a universal essence  – the source of human experience and spiritual connection. When stripped of its hurtful impact\, such a role may reveal messages that are healing\, liberating and motivating AND are crucial for negotiating and navigating anything you want to do.\n\n\nIn this momentary liminal space\, the line between who is me\, and who is my opponent collapses. Differences become more porous. This space can’t be thought out\, its where a new world moment flashes in unexpectedly\, and brings surprising new insights. Many experience this as a health and happiness booster even during life difficulties and impossible conditions that are not going away.\n\nGhost whispering is an art for loosening stuck moments and getting more feeling for the essence behind your inner/outer opponent’s attack. This can bring more flow\, effectiveness and enjoyment – personally and together in one awareness process.\n\nGroup Process awareness as methodology\nThe energetic field constellates roles\, ghost roles and communication through hotspots\, coolspots and rank dynamics: a group process. \n \nWe will be studying ghost roles through the group process lens. \n\nGroup Process brings out  the stuck-change-flow paradox – where stability and change co-exist in a dynamic interplay. In this facilitation lab we will practice slowing down and using the x (disturbance) of the cultural ghost role as our entry point to the group process for unfolding to the deeper systemic essence that is at the same time personal and universal. Then comes the real test: Do you get something out of it that FEELS right? Do you ENJOY it? Let’s find out!!!\n\nWhy is this not for everyone? Because not everyone is in a spot to enjoy the shamanic practice in connecting with your hate so deeply that you enter a realm where you feel love for what you also hate. My current belief: if you don’t enjoy it\, forget it\, it’s probably not that good for you! 💗🌺 Here\, joy means an unstoppable optimism even in the midst of terrible suffering.\n\nWhat you can expect in the sessions:\nIn this four-part series\, we’ll use Process Work ghost whispering awareness tools to integrate cultural ghost roles in our lives\, and access the joy factor for living and engaging according to one’s deepest nature.\n\nGhost role whispering capabilities are the bread and butter of Deep democracy facilitation: \n👻 catching and tracking ghost roles in the act (or soon after within 24 hours!)\n👻 accessing inner power in a ghost role interaction (or soon after within 24 hours!)\n👻 feel into the aspect of the ghost role that you know from the inside and loosen its hold over you\n👻 using its essence to further your vision and strategy for your joy factor\, your area of growth and impact. Each session includes a short presentation and guided inner work + discussion\, then a facilitated group process to get to know cultural ghost roles in a specific context. \nSession Themes \nThemes may change\, depending on who is present: \n23 June – Family +like-family\, parents\, caregivers\, kids etc \n28 July – Money\, no money and getting/losing money \n25 August  – Religion\, no religion\, spirituality\, secularity \n \n22 September  – Work and Projects: Vision and strategy stabilisers\n\nEach session is continuous and also stand alone. Hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Unfolding the Spirit of a Team: Accessing the Joy Factor
DESCRIPTION:A Deep Democracy Seminar on Facilitating Teamwork\, Diversity\, and Leadership in All of Us\nThis seminar is a learning playground to experience Deep Democracy facilitation as an inner compass and a practical toolkit—to navigate the ups and downs of teamwork with greater self-awareness and skill. More joy\, creativity\, and collaborative results. A core capability of a deep democracy facilitator is uncovering the team’s inner compass – its mythic spirit. Every team has its own psycho-spiritual DNA—an underlying mythic story that shapes its origins\, vision\, conflicts\, habits\, and survival instincts. This mythic spirit is present in moments of inspiration\, crisis\, and breakthrough. You will experience how to decode and make visible this enduring pattern so that the navigator mind of the system becomes visible\, valued\, and accessible through times of productivity\, growth\, inertia\, loss\, and new beginnings. \nWhat Will Happen at the Seminar\nEach day is a dynamic mix of theory\, real-world examples\, Q&A\, interactive exercises\, and group activities. You’ll engage in inner reflection and collective interaction\, applying the tools and concepts in real-time. \nDay 1 – Bridging personal and collective mythic navigators as an inner resilience path\nDay 2 – Facilitation tools for navigating phases inherent in the stuck-flow cycle in teams and groups. \nBy the end of the seminar\, \nyou can expect to gain: \n\nAwareness practices to navigate your inner stage and team dynamics as one interactive ecology.\nA neutral language for framing and responding to high points\, key shifts\, fleeting feelings\, your inner debates as a facilitator\, and spontaneous insights as they happen.\nPractical tools you can explore and apply in any positional role\, personal life\, leadership\, and teamwork.\n\nWhether you’re a leader\, facilitator\, part of a team\, or seeking to facilitate the voices vying for attention in your inner team\, this seminar invites you to explore the mythic spirits and collective roles that shape our group experiences. Using Deep Democracy’s approach to making the unknown visible\, you can grow into your team\, blossom in your role\, and deepen your leadership in any walk of life. \n \n\nRegister here \nFor all information about seminar fee + early bird rate until 1 March\, logistics etc.\nWe appreciate if you register as soon as possible to help our planning.\nFull flyer here in pdf:\nUnfolding the spirit of a team\n
