Process Group

A process group gives members the opportunity to learn about themselves in relation to others. The structure evolves out of the interactions between members rather than an agenda being determined by the leaders. In the Process Group the focus is on individual expression and individual interpretations of the self in relation to others.

The leader's job is to bring awareness to group process and individual issues as they arise in the group. Often issues related to safety, power, conflict, intimacy and shame are common to the group process. These issues are dealt with through discussion, interpretation, and expression of individual needs.

Groups such as these offer the opportunity to experience a sense of belonging while building your individuality.

Therapeutic Enactment Group

Therapeutic Enactment is a systematic approach to working through trauma. Members are directed by the facilitator to set up the 'scene' with members of the group. The parties act out the scene and repair the damage caused by the original event by expressing and discussing the traumatic core of the event. This repair can involve things such as, the person expressing something they needed to, or receiving something they didn't get. The leader monitors group safety and establishes personal safety throughout the process, ensuring that individual limitations are not violated.

People who have experienced this process have found the support and witness of the group to be very beneficial and healing. In addition, individuals report that therapeutic enactments create resolution of past events and lead to rapid positive changes in their lives, that years of talking about events have failed to do.


Couples Workshop

These workshops focus on developing relationships built on love and responsibility, rather than on survival and fear. When you come from a place of personal responsibility, relationships support your freedom to be who you are, allowing individuals to expand and grow without fear or obligation.

In this workshop we will address the issues that can help you break free of relationship pressures and allow your relationship to grow without losing your self. Included will be issues such as, dependency, blame and control. Through discussion and experiential exercises the group will explore what being in relationship means. The group provides couples with the support, perspective and challenge to address the dynamics in their personal and collective lives.
