Enabling a deeper, holistic understanding of ourselves and our culture
An experiential approach
Ken McLeod and Kay Dickie -- Consultants
The first of the following options would address the question 'How can we be collaborative without being defensive?' The second taps into the wisdom and strength available to us from the past.
Ken is a consultant employed by the Vocational Education and Training sector. He also works in the Higher Education field. His interests are work-based learning, process design, and facilitation. Kay is a self-employed consultant who works in these fields also. Her interests are leadership and change management through action learning, facilitating deep learning and enabling other to do this.
The workshop will explore some of the processes that we experienced and themes that arose in a deep ecology workshop, led by Joanna Macy, that we both recently participated in. This experiential workshop enabled a deeper, holistic understanding of ourselves and our culture, as part of the emerging processes of life on the planet. Specifically, the workshop will provide processes through which we may, together, come to 'own' and integrate our defensiveness and pain, and thus free ourselves to act more deliberately in the world.
Alternatively, processes may be used that enable us to explore 'deep' time in a systems approach to time. This provides wider choices for action and opportunity to be potentially more powerful actors.
