GROUPS: Practicing the Art of Strategic Conversation
The systems-oriented approach
to groups believes that who we are in the group has more to
do with the phase of development
of the group than it does with what any one individual brings into
the mix.
The group experience offers the unique opportunity
to not take your self “just personally”, but rather you experience
your contribution as energy for building the system.
Why Groups?:
You will have the unique opportunity: |
|
|
to not take your experiences of self and other- “just
personally” (Most often we experience things personally,
and, it is not the whole story!)
-
to break out of isolation to experience more
of the rich commonwealth of a community
-
to practice a successful way for managing and
integrating differences without creating a scapegoat.
-
to learn how to see through a systems-oriented lens rather than a self-centered one
-
to gain flexibility and resiliency as well as
learn what produces resonance and what produces noise in a group's
communication style
-
to experience the power of a group.
No person is ever pathologized, stereotyped or made
to feel like the scapegoat. Everyone is considered creative, resourceful
and whole.
