With Keith Tudor TSTA(P)
Saturday 26th June 2010, 9.45—5
Human life may be said to be the expression of and the working through of our needs both to be individuals and self-organising, and to be part of a greater whole and to belong. This workshop will explore the transactional and relational expression and impact of two related trends - one towards increased autonomy, and one towards homonomy (or the urge to belonging and connectedness), both in the face of heteronomy or difference - specifically in the context of groups. This workshop will draw on the experience and practice of participants and link this to philosophy and various theories of and about groups and working with groups
This interactive workshop is for any advanced practitioner who works with groups in any way: facilitators, educators, therapists, community activists, team leaders, chairs of boards, virtual groups, party organisers, group therapists, and other types of groupworkers
