Make your Relationship a gift - Conflict on Stage

Practice to wisely use tension to move into connection and co-creation

Facilitators: Stephanie Bachmair, Zbigniew Milunski
For more info and registeration: Click here

Conflict is happening — in teams, relationships, and society.
This seminar explores conflict as a living, relational process by bringing it onto the stage. Through embodied practices, participants develop awareness, presence, and the ability to stay connected in moments of tension and difference.
Wherever people meet, conflict is present — in visible disagreements as well as in subtle tensions, unspoken emotions, and polarized positions.
Often these dynamics remain hidden or are acted out indirectly, limiting connection, trust, and mutual understanding.
In this seminar, we bring conflict onto the stage — not to perform it, but to work with it consciously.
Participants explore how conflicts unfold through roles, power dynamics, projections, and inner contradictions, while developing awareness of their own patterns of engagement, avoidance, and readiness for conflict work. Through inner work, experiential exercises and group processes, we create a learning space that invites seriousness and lightness at the same time.
Here, conflict is not something to suppress or manage, but a doorway to insight, relationship, and agency.

In this sense, relationship itself can become a gift — shaped through presence, dialogue skilss, and the willingness to meet.
Key Contents / Learning Fields

Making hidden tensions visible and workable
Recognizing personal patterns of engaging with conflict
Exploring readiness, resistance, and avoidance
Understanding inner conflict and its impact on outer dynamics

Facilitators: The team of UA-PL long-time friends, process-workers, and co-facilitators,
Anton Yermolenko, Anna Gabryjelska (Gabrysia), Serge Riabchuk, Yuliya Filippovska, and Zbyszek Miłuński
Dear friends,
We are happy to invite Ukrainian and Polish Communities to come together and work on issues, joys, past/current prejudices, relations, and/or potentialities between us as human beings, nations, and our countries, within the context of war and a changing, unpredictable, and polarized world.
Join us to meet, connect, engage, interact, and discover what lies beyond being Polish or Ukrainian.
In the beginning, we share topics that interest you to discuss and process among us, and then together we choose one topic and work on it to find new perspectives, understandings, insights, and, who knows, maybe solutions for some or all of us.
Day: March 3, Tuesday, 2026
Time: 18:00-19:30 Warsaw and 19:00-20:30 Kyiv time
Language: primarily English, however, we as a team are happy to translate your inputs into Ukrainian or Polish right on the spot; in addition, if you need translation, please let us know, we will do our best to find a solution together.
Please register your interest here https://forms.gle/uxhJEZN1EgLuZU4A7, and we will send you a Zoom link 2-3 days before the event. Can’t wait to see us!

Failing Spectacularly and the art of 3D framing: Getting out of the funk!
2026-02-23 09:00 - 11:00 (Europe/Copenhagen) | Online
Series finale
To register:
https://forms.gle/E3unV5PGz7nnqXo66

This 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.

The 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.

We 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.

Arnold 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:

3 = awareness to live and interact in the world of many separate things (consensus reality)
2 = awareness to rotate between polarised roles and get unstuck from one reality
1 -= awareness for even a moment that all of us are in the current going somewhere together

The 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”.

If 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.

Each 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.

Framing – 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.

Each month, we will focus on getting to know and practice a unique framing awareness skill:
EDGE: Framing what stops me from loving the experience
POLARITIES: Framing the hidden polarisation from hot spot to cool spot
NATURE: Framing from perspectives of nature: water, earth, air, fire, heavenly bodies and spirits
IDENTITY: Making a mess and cleaning up. Framing identity changes via your unique travel principle

Facilitators: Martin Hemsley(Australia), Zbyszek Milunski (Poland) and Stephanie Bachmair (Germany)

Dream Lab – A Space for Night Dream Exploration
Dreams speak in images, sensations, and moods. Some linger long after we wake up, asking to be met again.
Dream Lab is a monthly experiential space for people who want to explore their night dreams together, in a supportive, curious, and respectful environment. Rather than interpreting dreams from the outside, we approach them as living processes that want to be felt, embodied, and related to.
The work draws on Process-Oriented Dreamwork, yet no prior experience is required. Through dialogue, body awareness, role exploration, and relationship, we follow the dream itself and allow it to show what it needs.
The Dream Lab is not a supervision group. It is a learning and experience space focused on your own dreaming life — playful, deep, and grounded in presence.
Time and Date: 21st of February 2026 8am-10am CET / 5pm-7pm AEST
Then monthly : 21st of March, 18th of March, 18th of April, 16th of May, 20th of June, 18th of July, 19th of Sept, 21st of Nov, 19th of Dec – 3rd Saturday of month – 8-10am CET

Magic of Unintentional Movement
2026-02-19 19:00 - 21:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) | Online
FinalMovementFlyer
Dear friends,
I am looking so much forward to learning, playing, and working together in the movement channel, discovering the magic of unintentional movement!
Unintentional movements include gestures that don’t go along with the content of our speech, as well as movement processes like tripping and losing balance. Instead of trying to control or correct these, we will practice following them to find the treasures in the information they bring. This follows the concept that our experiences that are most “out of control” bring wisdom and new ways out of our everyday mindsets and identities, opening surprising and often wonderful new worlds and directions.

Parallel Worlds – Which one are you living in? Open Forum free event
2026-02-01 17:00 - 19:00 (Europe/Berlin) | eeden, space x community, Stresemannstraße 132A, 22769 Hamburg, Germany
Parallel Worlds – Which one are you living in?
Beyond the comfort of agreement lies a world of different voices—join us for an open exploration of the tensions, hopes, and hurdles that define our meetings with ‘the other’.
Registration:
https://www.b-onfire.com/shop/p/parallel-worlds-which-one-are-you-living-in
Price: €0.00
Description:
When meeting works — and when it doesn’t | A Deep Democracy–moderated Open Forum
We live side by side and still in very different worlds. Different experiences, opinions, fears and hopes — shaped by gender, generation, background, social milieus and lived experience. Sometimes these worlds barely touch. Sometimes they collide.
This facilitated Open Forum invites you to explore what it’s like to live in parallel worlds — and what makes meeting the other possible, or difficult.
The evening will begin with a few warm-up speakers who will open the space by sharing different and partly polarising perspectives. From there, the forum opens up to the room. Participants are invited to add further voices, experiences and viewpoints as they arise.
This is not a classic Q&A and not a panel discussion. It’s an open forum where dialogue, disagreement and debate are welcome, and where perspectives can stand next to each other without needing to be resolved.
You don’t need to prepare anything. You don’t need to be an expert. You can speak, listen, argue, stay silent or change your mind — all of it is welcome. You’re free to join at any time and leave whenever you need. Stay for the whole forum or just for a part.
Sunday, February 1st, 5–7 pm CET
Eeden, Stresemannstr. 132a, Hamburg, Germany
On site and hybrid
Dare to meet.

Join me, be With me, Follow me: Navigating with people in altered states
2026-01-31 00:00 - 2026-02-01 23:59 (Europe/Oslo) | RSUC Oslo, 30 Professor Dahls Gate, Oslo, Norway
2-day in person experiential Process Work seminar in Oslo
For caregivers at home or at work, special education teachers, social care practitioners and clinicians, and their leanring and professional guides
At times many of us in the actual interaction with a client or student struggle to get inside the state of mind and lived experience of a person with intellectual, developmental and neurological differences.This person may communicate, move and make sense of the world in non-traditional ways that are like a foreign country to their assistant/helper, teacher or therapist. “I have compassion fatigue” “he is defiant” “she’s just plain lazy”, “they are manipulative” “He’s doing it deliberately to upset me” “I cant work with this person any more” are common place frustrations.
And then:
Am I being over directive? (tendency towards coercion). Am I being under-engaged? (Tendency towards neglect). These are inner debates that many of us grapple with constantly.
Such inner disturbances are common place and are rarely solved in the long term by getting more pay, more hours, resolving to have more patience ….
We will decode well-known social norms ( illusive identity and cultural ghosts) that limit creative thinking and systemic solutions by creating resistance. Resistance provides a counter force to grow innate powers in order to:
Join me. Hear me. See me. Follow me. Follow With Me.
This seminar introduces three main ideas from Mindell’s Process Work to shift the energy from stuck to flow.
1) Altered states are experiences that fall outside the norm of behaviours that are generally agreed upon as acceptable in particular cultural group.
2) City Shadows are the unseen dynamics in urban life—the fears, biases, and discomforts that surface when people with different abilities, behaviours, or states of mind move through public spaces, revealing what a city includes, excludes, or prefers not to see.
3) Process unfolding to:
TRACK feedback signals to de-escalate frustration and misunderstandings
AGILE ROLE ROTATION to switch from what you “know” to jump across and right inside the person’s deepest motivation on their own terms
GO SLOW to travel down to the core beauty and inner GPS of the person hidden within the difficulty
BRIDGE personal and collective divides to break open into new directions and side-by-side opportunities
4) Interaction metaskiils
MATCH your energetic tone and movement with the person’s energetic vibration
DROP CONTENT and righteousness to make space for something totally unexpected to drop in – a drop of magic that has the power to grow new capabilities and dissolve resistance.
Take-home tools
Seminar participants will experience tools and approaches that are as benefical for the person’s flourishing and their on – when in concert, the shared garden can flourish in new and surprising ways. We will practice various skills you can take with you and use immediately:
Who is this geared for?
* Diversity of Process Work experience – newcomers welcome, qualified Process Workers welcome and everything in between.
* Diversity of practitioners: caregivers, social workers, clinicians etc working with individuals, teams and systems – and already have an interest/orientation in expanded way of seeing the beauty and talent trying to emerge within a difficult situation AND are excited to learn to track signal based ways of connecting with what is actually happening.

May especially be beneficial for teachers, therapists, coaches, support workers, social workers, health care practitioners – their learning guides and leaders – seeking a more wholesome, human centred approach to challenging situations.

Dare to Meet - In the Middle of All

WHAT: A 3-day experiential seminar for all who work (and live) with people — leaders, facilitators, coaches, creatives, changemakers, and curious humans.
It 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.
Prior experience with Deep Democracy not needed and also welcomed.
What is this seminar for ? And why do we call it Deep Democracy Lab?
Polarisation is shaping our times — in public discourse, organisations, teams, families, and within ourselves.
Positions harden.
Listening becomes difficult.
And conversations often turn into either–or dynamics.
This 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.
By working with live situations, you’ll experience how tension itself can become a resource — creating understanding, movement, and unexpected alliances.
This 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.
What we will explore
In this experiential seminar, you will:

learn to notice body signals and inner reactions in moments of tension or confrontation
explore how your personal history influences how you deal with conflict, power, and authority
discover recurring patterns in your life — and why certain situations feel especially charged
experiment with your own natural way of facilitating instead of following rigid techniques
experience how misunderstanding, friction, and escalation can become doorways to dialogue and transformation

We move fluidly between inner work, relationship dynamics, and group processes — learning directly from what unfolds in the room.
Real experiences. Real questions. Real learning.

If 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.

Each 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.

Framing – 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.

Each month, we will focus on getting to know and practice a unique framing awareness skill:
EDGE: Framing what stops me from loving the experience
POLARITIES: Framing the hidden polarisation from hot spot to cool spot
NATURE: Framing from perspectives of nature: water, earth, air, fire, heavenly bodies and spirits
IDENTITY: Making a mess and cleaning up. Framing identity changes via your unique travel principle

This 4-part series is an experimental learning space to practice together with the purpose of illuminating a unique-to-you liberation experience and practice within the experience of failure.

The 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.

We 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.

Arnold 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:

3 = awareness to live and interact in the world of many separate things (consensus reality)
2 = awareness to rotate between polarised roles and get unstuck from one reality
1 -= awareness for even a moment that all of us are in the current going somewhere together

The 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”.

If 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.
