SUMMARY:Exploring the skills of eldership  - Eldership Academy
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the skills of eldership\nFacilitating your life\, your team\, your relationships\, your community \nOur 2018 annual eldership retreat introduces facilitation as a core attribute of eldership. Amidst the beauty and calm of Farfa Abbey\, in the heart of the Sabine hills\, we will explore a Process Work approach to eldership. Process Work\, pioneered by Arnold Mindell and colleagues around the world\, is an open systems approach to training awareness to work with experience. The deep democracy attitude behind Process Work welcomes all ages\, parts of ourselves\, states of mind\, abilities and experiences in learning to live together joyously\, creatively and with dignity\, on this planet we call home.  Life experience\, personal growth\, and social awareness are the life blood of a deeply democratic eldership. \nOur retreat location offers a special atmosphere\, for our learning community\, from nature’s surrounding and centuries of Abbey life. The eldership of place is supportive for tapping into our powers to flourish\, space to interact and to enjoy being alone as we discover our mojo anew for our personal path\, sustaining best possible health\, and contributing meaningfully in whatever phase of life and context we are in. \nWhat is eldership?\nWe use the term eldership for an almost indescribable attitude of natural curiosity\, vitality\, and an overall helpfulness in a given situation. Eldership is not a fixed state\, but a momentary experience\, accessible to anyone. Role models\, such as Nelson Mandela inspire a vision of eldership\, in shining a light on the profound gifts and strengths of others. Such giants remind us of the innate characteristics that anyone of us can develop and use in our own lives\, families and communities. At times\, life itself seems to push us to the brink\, even against our rational will\, to discover moments of eldership through the many ups and downs we experience through life. \nWhat will happen in the retreat?\nEach day Nader and Julia will offer a short thematic presentation on aspects of facilitation and eldership. As an entire group we will practice facilitation skills using topics of interest to participants. Behind interactions are different levels of experience – the ability to stay grounded in everyday reality and analysis; the emotional bandwidth to embrace tension and complications; and a detachment to allow an impossible situation to move forward\, with all the inherent ups and downs. Our group process method invites creative exchange that allows these different levels as well as many sides and aspects of a situation to become visible in fresh and frank exchange\, and make space for spontaneous insights and creative solutions to arise. Topics and questions of participants will set the tone for our process. \nMadeline Cunningham\, artist and potter\, will guide participants in experimenting with clay\, inviting play and spontaneity\, while integrating ideas and experiences creatively. Through the medium of Clay emotions and feelings can be expressed creatively where it can be hard to reach with the use of words. \nArt\, yoga\, poetry\, literature\, and story-telling\, small groups and inner work are other refreshing ways we may use depending on the moment\, to share what matters\, and get to know as yet undiscovered aspects of ourselves\, and who we are becoming. \nThe rhythm of the day includes time to rest\, to go for walks\, to enjoy the local village\, to enjoy good company\, and the nourishing meals prepared by the nuns at Farfa Abbey. \nThis workshop is for:\n\nAwareness seekers of all ageswishing to develop eldership facilitation skills to apply in any life situation\nProviders and professionals working in the field of care\, education and human services;\nPeople of any age desiring a life of meaning with an eldership-informed awareness; and

SUMMARY:Book launch Sydney - Applying Deep Democracy in Human Services: diversity\, inclusion and innate power
DESCRIPTION:Author: Dr. Julia Wolfson\nModerator: Joanna Kalowski\nThe roll out of the NDIS makes Applying Deep Democracy in Human Services essential reading. One in 20 Australians depend on care to survive. They are not alone. One billion people across the globe of all ages – one eighth of our human community – are dependent on health\, disability and/or care and protective systems and providers. For millions of people\, everyday survival depends on caregivers\, supporters\, care programs and funding. The need may be temporary\, longer term or lifelong. Many people in these systems are lonely\, isolated and lack meaningful opportunities to participate and contribute. This book brings together a wide array of skills and pioneering approaches to revolutionise the way we design and facilitate person-directed services\, interact in all the helping professions\, and sustain those who devote their lives to the care and support of others. \nApplying Deep Democracy in Human Services is relevant for caregivers\, family members\, educators and direct support professionals\, and people who rely on support and care. This book is also important for policy makers and community developers\, facilitators\, leaders and develop caregivers and direct support professionals\, and build welcoming communities. Julia is an Australian\, and works internationally. This is a rare opportunity for you to put your comments and questions to her face to face. Joanna Kalowski\, international mediator and human rights advocate\, will convene the event. After the launch\, she will open the floor to questions and comments: we hope the exchange of ideas will be of use to you in your particular fields.
