The Power of your Facilitator’s Free Mind 

with Small + Large Groups,  Business+Open Forums

to “Occupy” All of the Planet’s Roles

With Amy and Arny Mindell

This 3 day seminar focuses on  eldership development of facilitators using innerwork applied to world issues. Our goal is to support small and large group leaders to use their free and creative processminds in dealing with complex social, business and ecological issues.

 Worldwork elders need what we call, “2nd training”. They may or may not know 1st training details and group-organizational process skills (e.g. levels, roles, ghost roles, double signals, group myths…). However a second training facilitator succeeds in great part because of her purpose, her meta-skills, (i.e. her/his feeling skills) as well as her past knowledge  of groups and organizations.  She knows how, or can learn to gain the confidence of people from different economic classes, races, ages, religions, sexual orientations, etc. Elders know how to relate to their so called “enemies”.

 The 2nd training facilitator realizes that the structure of any group of people is deeply democratic: i.e. Groups consist of at least 3 levels, all of which has the right to be represented.  Groups consist of I. Real individuals, teams, issues and facts. II. Roles: All real people and problems are shared inner feelings +dreams, III. Essences; Groups have a powerful “processmind” fields that influence feelings.  Representing all levels is inner and outer work. Though someone may be identified as the facilitator, in the processwork paradigm, everyone is responsible for the evolution of organizations.

In this seminar, there will be theory and practice concerning ”1st training skills and ideas” and “2nd Training” eldership metaskills – stressing the quantum principle of “try all paths” (Richard Feynman) and processmind/ system-mind experiences. Be prepared to understand the facilitator’s abuse issues, experience confidence and eldership.

Special attention will be devoted to: 

-  Facilitating large groups by making a home for all under tense and diverse face to face circumstances.

-  Being congruent (following your own signals ) in relationship with the use of your “Taoist’s Free Mind”.

-  Seeing worst critics as possible personal powers. 

-  Dancing with change, creating unpredictable solutions.

-   2nd training awards: for those interested, some people will receive 2nd training awards at the seminar. Others at the seminar will receive such awards, after the seminar, after completing suggested personalized learning tips from amy, arny or other 2nd training instructors.
