This time I did it alone with a small group who were mostly new to process work, so I really wanted to do a good job. ‘Life Narratives’ looked at ways of reflecting and tracking our journeys through life using process work skills and ideas. Story-telling in this sense is like finding a strand of wool, in one big ball we call our life, and pulling gently in one direction and then another strand in another direction will ask to be pulled!

The divide between the rich and poor came up a few times as a theme during the 2011 Denver Worldwork. This divide results in the exploitation of the poor by the rich at different levels of society. The consequences are that the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer. This situation gets even worse when the rich are not aware of the sufferings of the poor or simply because the rich don’t want to know. This might be due to lack of awareness or the feeling of helplessness in front of the whole issue of poverty in the world. The feeling of helplessness exists on both sides when the poor are trapped in endless poverty.

Physical theatre

How did you come across Process Work, and who were you at the time?

I had been interested in the idea of transformation for quite a long time as a performer and maker of theatre work and a maker of art. As a performer I studied physical theatre, so I’m a physical performer rather than an actor. I had a performance company called dA dA dUMB, with another Martin who was a dancer, and we made physical atmospheric performance work, devised from scratch.

Following the Tao, or the subtlest of flirts, as a path making or design process for our lives? Shifting our assemblage point – or way we perceive the world as a key to a shared sustainable future, and would researching these questions form the basis of a PhD in applied Processwork and Worldwork, informed by Deep Ecology and illustrated through various case studies in SE Asia and other parts of the world?

What was the dream that helped you decide you wanted to study Process Work or is most closely related to the beginning of your studies for you?

The night after I was accepted on to the Foundation Year I had a dream I was watching a DVD of Process Work's beginnings where Arny is sitting in the shop window of a café watching people walking past and he looks depressed. He is middle aged, balding and intense looking (based on Amy's sketches of him working with people in the middle of their seminar in “Riding the Horse Backwards”). Suddenly, “Eureka!”, he hits on the idea of process work/understanding that the nature of the universe is process-oriented and excitedly goes over to tell the café cashier about it. She says she is interested in Arny's ideas but she loves women. Arny chuckles and goes out the shop, looking cheerful about what comes next.

Over the last year I’ve been working for Transition Leicester, one of the Transition Town organisations.  The Transition Towns movement is a response to the challenges of peak oil and climate change. The basic premise is that we have built modern life based on the availability of cheap oil, and that this won’t be around for much longer. In the near future we will need to become more resilient in every way as we become less able to depend on cheap oil for our everyday living. It is an attempt to wean ourselves off of our addiction to oil. The Transition Towns ethos arises from the principles of permaculture and the insights of deep ecology, and organisations try to facilitate empowerment of communities by positive visioning, re-skilling, and providing emotional and psychological support for processing change.

The word Wave is related to vague, vagrant, waft, weigh, wagon, and way (Sanskrit vaha), convey, vector and vehicle. In Latin, Unda (as in undulate, inundate and abundance) is related to water (Sanskrit udan). Hence a wave is an erratic disturbance that carries things and information – often associated with water.

I would like to announce some changes to the library. The current system isn’t working effectively and I as librarian am losing sight of dissertations, who has borrowed them etc... I am very pleased that they are being read as they are an invaluable source of process work information.

As more information is available, free of charge on the internet, going to the trouble of paying a library fee and postage seems out of date. However, hardback dissertations are still being used, and send around informally between students. I do ask that you keep track of them, and also make sure I am kept in the loop about their whereabouts. hardback copies are a physical ease to read. If you have finished with them please return them to the library. I would like some payments as I cannot afford to pay out all the time for their maintenance and postage. We are currently £140 pounds in credit so if this ticks along we can develop this service.

The Big Plan is the name we use to describe a process involving people who have labels of learning disability, mental health problems and/or challenging behaviour and the facilitation that takes place with them, their families and staff teams in large groups.

Up to 10 individuals people plus their support circles come together for a series of days to explore life’s meaning, purpose and the unique contributions that people who are marginalised can make in the world.
