Group Process Work
I design, facilitate, and teach transformational group process work, offering year-long and ongoing group-based workshops and trainings focused not just on self-development but group and cultural development and transformation, and social justice work.
Individual and group work are two sides of a coin. If we wish to liberate our potential, we need an environment that welcomes and supports our expression. (We are not meant to, and ultimately cannot, go it alone.) If we want societies and cultures that are healthy and support us, we need to do our personal work, since cultures are made of individuals. To be free in the world needs a world we can be free in. The world becomes free through the transformative work of the people that create the world.
There is no such thing as a human being without a relational context. We are not merely self-authoring but are authored by the web we are connected to. We cannot ever not need each other. We can only need each other well or poorly. "Needing each other well" means relating in ways that are generative of life and well-being instead of destructive of health and life. Most of what we call trauma, and all of what we call developmental trauma, has at its root adaptations we made to missing or unhealthy relationship. All of our social justice issues have at their heart developmental trauma and the failure of relational attunement.
“Needing Each Other Well” is the name of relational capacity development program I am currently developing. You can find out more here.
