Co-creating Earth-based Community -- Using earth-based awareness and process oriented skills to facilitate conflict, power, rank and diversity for the wellbeing and resilience of groups and communitie Time: May 14, 2010 at 6:30pm to May 16, 2010 at 3pm
Location: Bowden House,
Organized By: Mark O’Connell

Event Description:
Full Leaflet: http://www.apricotcentre.co.uk/docs/Cocreate.pdf Process Work (Dr Arnold Mindell) now emphasises Earth-based awareness work for working on social and ecological issues. This approach to social and environmental problems helps us to move beyond traditional polarisations, bringing us in touch with a place of Deep Democracy from which complex difficulties can be addressed. Process Work brings together the outerwork of social activism with the innerwork of psychology and meditation, grounding it in our connection with the sentient earth. An aim might be ‘how to be at home within ourselves while finding home and community on the earth’.

A seminar for those interested in ‘resilient community’ & the interface between Process Work and the Transition Movement; wanting to discover a sense of ‘home’ (ecos) while seeking sustainable change and solutions.

With complex social and ecological problems there is often a tendency to marginalise both; aspects of our inner diversity and the outer diversity of the situation.

- Can we make the needed societal changes without repeating the damage to each other and the environment in the process?
- What deeper skills and attitudes can help how we relate to one another in our families and communities?
- How can we deal with the complexities which arise when groups with different levels of privileges interact trying to make changes?

A weekend mixing theory, experiential skill-based exercises, group process, and the sharing and reflection on experiences. There will be opportunities to explore application to ‘real’ relationship, group or community issues as part of the workshop.

The seminar will be preceded by 2 weeks of online presentation and discussion of Process Work theory open to all participants held by Diploma holders and advanced

Earth Healing seminar with Gary Reiss – Fri 27 – 29 Nov 2009

September 3, 2009 in Earth Healing, Gary Reiss

Gary’s upcoming seminar in late November 2009 is an important event in the Apricot Centre calendar. This video is an interview with Gary Reiss to give a sense of what will be involved in the seminar.

The Earth is there for us as a source of healing and nourishment if we know how to open to Her. We also need to be there for Her, as she has suffered from our neglect and abuse. Our relationship with the earth can help us in healing trauma; connect us to earth-based sensuality and earth-based spirituality. This seminar is for therapists, group facilitators with an interest in psychology/environment, and for the public with interests in personal development/ spirituality/ ecology. This is an experiential workshop.

Reskilling the Valley – Mapping out skills search

August 22, 2009 in Earth Healing, process oriented psychology, process work, Trauma


Mapping out skills search
Originally uploaded by popmoc

Reskilling the Valley project is now officially underway. This article appeared in Friday 21 Aug Manningtree and Harwich Standard inviting people to come forward and let us know about skills for sustainable living within the Stour Valley and Dedham Vale region. We are also interested in skills outside this area in the Valley region as a whole.

If you search Reskilling the Valley on google maps you will gradually see the linked skills appearing on the map. This map can also be seen on www.apricotcentre.co.uk
