SUMMARY:Dare to Meet - In the Middle of All
DESCRIPTION:link to registration here  \nWHAT: A 3-day experiential seminar for all who work (and live) with people — leaders\, facilitators\, coaches\, creatives\, changemakers\, and curious humans. \nIt is a space to slow down\, turn inwardly\, and explore how clarity\, stability\, and groundedness can arise when we dare to meet conflict — within ourselves and around us — instead of avoiding it. \nPrior experience with Deep Democracy not needed and also welcomed. \nWhat is this seminar for ? And why do we call it Deep Democracy Lab?\nPolarisation is shaping our times — in public discourse\, organisations\, teams\, families\, and within ourselves. \nPositions harden.\nListening becomes difficult.\nAnd conversations often turn into either–or dynamics. \nThis Lab is an invitation to explore facilitation as a relational practice: not as neutral moderation\, but as the ability to stay present\, express voices clearly\, and support dialogue between polarities. \nBy working with live situations\, you’ll experience how tension itself can become a resource — creating understanding\, movement\, and unexpected alliances. \nThis is about developing the capacity to stand in the middle\, or on one of the sides with awareness and to facilitate conversations where difference is not smoothed over\, but consciously brought into relationship. \nWhat we will explore\nIn this experiential seminar\, you will: \n\nlearn to notice body signals and inner reactions in moments of tension or confrontation\nexplore how your personal history influences how you deal with conflict\, power\, and authority\ndiscover recurring patterns in your life — and why certain situations feel especially charged\nexperiment with your own natural way of facilitating instead of following rigid techniques\nexperience how misunderstanding\, friction\, and escalation can become doorways to dialogue and transformation\n\nWe move fluidly between inner work\, relationship dynamics\, and group processes — learning directly from what unfolds in the room.\n Real experiences. Real questions. Real learning. \nFacilitators\nAnna Gabryjelska-Basiuk \nProcesswork Diplomat\, Systemic Mediator\, OD Consultant\, B.ONFIRE Partner\, faculty member of the Polish Processwork Institute\, and co-founder of Processwork Institute Lithuania. For over 13 years\, she has supported leaders and teams in navigating conflict\, power\, and change with awareness and integrity. \nStephanie Bachmair \nProcesswork Diplomat\, Leadership Coach & Content Creator\, founder of B.ONFIRE. She works with changemakers\, teams\, and organisations navigating uncertainty\, transforming narratives\, and shaping new individual and collective stories. Initiator of Worldwork Journalism and host of Pioneer Spirit & Mainstream Thoughts. \nRegistration: https://www.b-onfire.com/events/dare-to-meet?ss_source=sscampaigns&ss_campaign_id=69428d8e348c195b8217059d&ss_campaign_name=In+the+Middle+of+All&ss_campaign_sent_date=2026-01-07T18%3A40%3A15Z

SUMMARY:Failing Spectacularly and the art of 3D framing: Getting out of the funk
DESCRIPTION:Session 4 (last in this series) To fight or not to fight? Tha is the question! \nRegistration here: \nhttps://forms.gle/dFtfxTNH65CSamNo8 \n \nThis 4-part series is an experimental learning space to practice together with the purpose of illuminating a unique-to-you liberation structure within the experience of failure.\n \nThe journey between living and being fulfilled can feel like an uphill task because of the many energies dancing through life. Walking through the dotted lines of life\, history\, and ancestral agreements made before you existed can make you feel like your GPS is not working\, or that life itself is not working\, especially when exploring your individual capabilities. That was called failure. For some\, it bruised them; for others\, it became a proving method for parents\, friends\, or bosses. For some\, it brought them closer to their own life process and connected them to something bigger. And when we fail\, we feel refined.\n\n \nWe fail\, we feel this or that\, we pick ourselves up\, dust off and grow from it. Nice idea. But for many of us\,  those voices in your head remind of what you are not and what should have been\, and block learning. These voices are SOOO resilient and stick like super glue. They trap you into only focusing on whats wrong and what you wish you had done\, or who is at fault ….But are they hard wired? While the experience can be totally devastating\, is there any way out of the failure prison? The playful images here are meant as encouragement to not only suffer\, but to access your joy process within the difficulties.\n\nArnold Mindell and parallel worlds. Arnold Mindell\, founder of Process Work framed an expanded understanding of reality as three parallel worlds that in every day life we may barely notice although we are moving though these worlds day and night. These  parallel realities provide a wealth of information that we can use to transport us beyond the prison of social roles and oppressive power dynamics. The concepts and practices in this series apply Mindell’s awareness practices for these usually separate worlds to touch and allow for more wholeness and freedom to drop unwanted habits and try new ones. Hence in this series\, the term 3-2-1 framing:\n\n3 = awareness to live and interact in the world of many separate things (consensus reality)\n2 = awareness to rotate between polarised roles and get unstuck from one reality\n1 -= awareness for even a moment that all of us are in the current going somewhere together\n\nThe theme for this series came about through my own desire to break out of a repetitive reflex to hate failing\, hate that I hate failing\, then curious to learn how to harness the built in hidden talent and potential within the failing process and grow from it and with it. Built in from a Process Work perspective means ontologically built in – structured in to its very nature. Not a symbolic interpretation of the failure. Not an inferred rational “this must mean that”.\n\nIf you are at a point in your life where it’s right for you to unfold a disturbance by loosening the superglue that holds rational reasons for “WHY this happened and WHAT it means” in place\, this series may be for you!  Connecting to self and the journey of life from different realities that  unites you through the experience of failure\, allowing you to see the journey and its meaning from perspectives you may have felt but had no words to express.\n \nEach class includes listening to a short presentation\, connecting to your inner world though an inner orly to illuminate the theory\, discussion in pairs or triads\, and a large group process – all within the frame of learning and skill development. The classes are meant for developing framing skills using experiences of perceived failure.\n \n\nFraming – imagine any picture\, and notice how your focus  changes when you put a frame around it? Maybe you see it better. Maybe you can highlight an aspect of the image. Maybe it gets definition so it doesn’t melt away into the wall. Maybe a ne meaning shows itself. Now apply Mindell’s three parallel worlds to the structure of the frame – the pragmatic part\, the polarisation dynamic\, and the ontological (built in) meaning. \n\n\nEach month\, we will focus on getting to know and practice a unique framing awareness skill: \nEDGE: Framing what stops me from loving the experience\nPOLARITIES: Framing the hidden polarisation from hot spot to cool spot\nNATURE: Framing from perspectives of nature: water\, earth\, air\, fire\, heavenly bodies and spirits\nIDENTITY: Making a mess and cleaning up. Framing identity changes via your unique travel principle\n\nInterested in joining the failure playground? logistics and information below.\nTuition scholarships available for Global South Process Work students

SUMMARY:Failing Spectacularly and the art of 3D framing
DESCRIPTION:SESSION 3 COMING UP: \n19 January 2026: Tackling What-about-ism to get from hotspot to coolspot!\nTime: 9am CET\nIntroduces an awareness practice to reversing the trend to “what-about-ism” in facilitating hot spot to cool spot in inner/outer teams and frame hidden polarities. We will practice reversing what about ism in getting relief from the draining effect of feeling we’ve failed at something\, and arrive in a new world of potentials with fresh zest.\n\nEach class is also a standalone. Scholarships and discounts available. recordings and exercises from previous sessions available anytime. Whats app learning platform for finding exercise partners between sessions and sharing learnings\, questions and resources.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 4: February 23rd 2026.
