I am fascinated by the philosophical roots of Process Work, and particularly of World Work. How does philosophy influence our world view? How does it contribute to our facilitation skills?
My interest in philosophy led me to my current research into the processes of social marginalization. How do groups and individuals become marginal? How can we encourage the so-called mainstream to reflect on how it marginalizes individuals and groups?
Another research area that fascinates me is the development of 'tiny' training programs that help people like social workers, mental health workers, mediators and others acquire just enough process work skills to facilitate their work, without having to enroll in a full-scale process work training program.
I moved to Portland in 1990, where I live with my partner Kate Jobe and our cat Ben, after living nearly 20 years in Zurich, Switzerland. I have pursued dual careers as a research engineer and Process Worker, and have finally given up trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. I love riding my bicycle in the hills around Portland, and enjoy working with metal and glass in my workshop at home. I am a passionate cook and baker. If I'd been born 300 years earlier, I would probably have been an alchemist.
