workshops

Most one-off workshops are with visiting trainers and are held on a Sunday from 10 — 5. A wide range of themes has been touched on so far and a rich miscellany is planned for the future. Generally, all are open to anyone with a TA101.

Some of these workshops are in an EXPANDING YOUR PERSPECTIVES series around a theme. Workshops can be attended as one offs and there is a 5% reduction for booking five in the series. All are presented by visiting trainers.

We have lots of stimulating workshops coming up - and longer programmes too for those who want to enhance their TA further. Almost all are at our purpose designed workshop space in central Oxford - easy by bus from London(every ten minutes) or the airports, with a car park next door - and lots of lovely restaurants and cafes and gardens nearby!

There are a series of open workshops:

Workshop categories include:

• INCLUSION & DIVERSITY — these provide an in-depth TA analysis of a key issue identified in British equal opportunities legislation, and discussion with action and solutions for our practice informed by a TA perspective. TA practitioners with experience of working with the key issues will facilitate each workshop.

• OTHER PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES — These are provided by experts from a specific psychological approach and focus on an aspect or topic from that perspective. These workshops are open to all, and there will be an opportunity between 4–5 for a TA trainer-facilitated discussion about how the thinking from this approach can be looked at from a transactional analysis perspective.

• ORGANISATIONAL APPLICATIONS OF TA — These workshops are for the continuing professional development of consultants, coaches, managers, trainers and others interested in organisations and transactional analysis.

• INTO THE WOODS — Every two years or so a relaxing and re-invigorating residential workshop, focusing on the power of story-telling by the fireside, is run by Rosemary Napper TSTA and Trudi Newton TSTA. This is open to anyone (no prior TA knowledge required) and it includes extra dedicated workshops for children aged 5 onward.

• SUPERVISION...THE BIGGER PICTURE — a three-day workshop led by Trudi Newton TSTA(E) and Rosemary Napper TSTA(O&E) for practitioners who want to develop their supervision skills. On 26th-28th July 2008 in Cape Town, South Africa.
