Any garden is affected by weather. At times we get caught in the weather, we might fight the weather, we can decide to stay home, we can play around in it,\u00a0 and we might discover a ray of sunshine after a storm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This seminar offers learning tools to grow from, based on an attitude of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">welcoming life as it is<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This attitude is at the heart of Process Work\u2019s deep democracy, an attitude and practice for navigating personal and collective experiences. The practices at the seminar are meant as tools in discovering the hidden symmetry and beauty between inner and outer life situations, even those that may appear chaotic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mindell, founder of Process Work developed a unique approach to listening to the &#8220;undercurrents&#8221; of reality. He differentiated three simultaneous worlds of experience that we move through: dealing in the material world, navigating our emotional life and accessing our dreaming &#8211; our deepest aspirations that give life meaning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201call-weather\u201d practices at this workshop develop awareness in the flow between these worlds. Here, every disturbance is a doorway to a deeper version of ourselves and our community. What seems to disrupt us can also contain a hidden flower for our garden to bloom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>This seminar <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a living laboratory for awareness &#8211; a taste of the foundations of Process Work. We will explore how our private inner feelings and the outer world are connected, and bring to life the ancient wisdom that awareness in ourselves can help the world around us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Welcome To Life As It Is! <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learning space for trying out some all-weather tools using your unique style and life situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>What will happen?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each day we will practice an inner work tool and an outer tool that you can apply straight away in your life\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Day 1: Decoding inner weather signals to facilitate my inner garden\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Mindell\u2019s <\/span><b>Dreambody<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> concept, our bodies and our dreaming are connected. Unfolding body experiences\u00a0 with process-oriented awareness, can offer new possibilities for everyday life situations across a wide spectrum of life situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Day 2: Decoding collective weather signals to facilitate the collective garden\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We shift our focus to Mindell\u2019s <\/span><b>Worldwork a<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nd energetic social field theory. We will introduce a collective approach for engaging with social and community issues. We will learn to frame and unfold a polarisation on a given theme of mutual interest. In getting to know diverse roles and cultural influences that are present and felt, but often hidden we may gain a new\u00a0 appreciation for the complexity and beauty within a difficult situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Our learning approach:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short presentations, group discussion, live demonstrations of practices and guided exercises, exercise practice with a partner, large group processes on a topic of collective relevance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Yes! to a symptom.
