Welcome

Process Oriented Psychology (Process Work) is a cross-disciplinary approach to individual and collective change. It is applied in personal psychotherapy, dream and body work, conflict resolution, creativity and the arts, mental health, the environment, organisational development and worldwork. RSPOPUK offers psychotherapy training accredited through the UKCP.

..... what has been before us, why we have come into being, and where our lives are flowing?
This flow has a geometry - the path is an arrow, a vector.
It is, as Jung said 'a story that has no beginning and end'.

The Key to Life: A Global Approach to Personal and World Problems

A seminar with Arny and Amy Mindell

Body, World Conflict, Financial and Ecological problems are interconnected with local and global problems….as we all know.

They require both local and global teamwork. But until now, our human race has not seemed especially gifted at this. Of course, catastrophes force us to work together. However we will suggest that besides catastrophes, a more global method to resolve recurring personal and planetary problems.

We call this method, “the facilitator as dreamer”. This method is an ultimately practical method of dealing with many unsolved personal +world problems. Perhaps you sensed in quiet moments, something moving you. We will show that this spirit of process, described five thousand years ago as the “Tao that can’t be said” can help us today.

Unintentional Music: Releasing Creativity and Transforming Stage Fright

Facilitated by
Lane Arye

Cooper Hall near Frome in Somerset, England : 26th - 28th April 2013, Friday 18:00 Sunday 16:00

Whenever we create, just like in other areas of our lives, some things happen that do not go along with our intentions. The unintentional aspects of the music we make – the unwanted note, the cracked voice, the strange croaking sound we try to avoid, the rhythmic problem we cannot erase even after hours of practice – contain more wisdom than we think. They are intimations of parts of ourselves, and of our music, that lie beyond our awareness. Exploring the unintentional with curiosity and love can help us to tap into the wellsprings of our deepest creativity, and make our music, and ultimately our lives, more authentic, meaningful, and original.

Lane is a singer and songwriter, as well as an internationally known Process Worker and workshop leader who has helped thousands of people worldwide transform themselves and their creativity. Watch a video or download the attached flyer.

Research Studio

A Research Studio on the Application of Process Work in the World.

Notting Hill Gate London. U.K. 30th November - 1st December 2012

A participative studio for sharing and exploring Process-Oriented research into facilitation and psychotherapy

Process Work involves a willingness to be open to what’s emerging. Come and hear about others’ research and share your own research journey – wherever you are on it.

Everyone is welcome - whether or not you identify as a researcher, or a Process Worker – join us to share and explore the spirit of enquiry.

It’s a myth that research is an individual activity – it happens in community, through sharing, collaborating, and how you orient yourself in relation to what already exists. This studio will offer a range of formats to support and to study the process of doing and sharing research.

Since the beginning of the world economic crisis, the social tensions in Europe and in other parts of the world have increased considerably. These transformations are a matter of concern to all of us.
