Seminars, Trainings & Events: Past Present Future

Starting out as a teacher of Process Work

30 November 2011

by Kim Ward

Kim

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!

My first time with Mindells

21 May 2011

by Paola Esperson

In the end of November I had a night dream; Arlene, Jean-Claude, Arny and Amy, they were making clear the reason why I was there, studying process work. The last thing before I woke up was Arny inviting me: “See you at Worldwork!” I woke up in the middle of the night knowing that I was going to Denver. It was perfectly clear that I couldn’t wait for the “next Worldwork” in three years. This year, every signal was with me going, even the school holidays.

During the months from December to April a lot of dreams were drawing me to USA, never before in my life I dreamt about that country, far away of being a myth for me. One month earlier my body started with a body symptom, my therapist gave me a key for reading it (still I need to study several years to understand the deep connection between body and world work!) “you’ve already started Worldwork, Worldwork is body”.

2010 RSPOPUK Student Intensive

10 August 2010

by Jean-Claude Audergon

Most of us who participated had a blast – that’s the only decent way to describe the atmosphere of the 2010 Student Intensive we held and co-facilitated with Michal Duda and Joanna in Nowe Kawkowo in June this year, with the assistance of Pat, Andy, Kim, Małgorzata and Grzegorz.

There were about 65 Polish participants and about 27 or so participants from outside Poland – from UK, Ireland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, Croatia, Burundi and USA. All came to the student intensive, Poland 2010.

Festivals

18 August 2010

by Andy Smith

Whilst in Poland this summer at the Intensive I learnt a little about the Process Work Festival of Creativity that takes place there every year.

I live in Edinburgh and so the idea of festivals is nothing new but the way in which the Institute for Process Psychology in Poland organises its annual festival seems to fit well with the spirit behind this definition which I have borrowed from Wikipedia. "A festival is an event, usually staged by a community, which centers on and celebrates some unique aspect of that community".

Heterosexism, Homophobia effects on health and well-being

10 May 2010

by Anup Karia

This is a very brief account of the workshop that Aleksandr Peikrishvili and I did on heterosexism and homophobia; effects on health and well being for gay men-a process oriented perspective at the IAPOP conference on community and global health in Feb 2010 in Portland, USA.

It was an incredible privilege to have the opportunity to do this with a diverse audience.
