CCTA Workshop – Belonging – Paul Robinson and Traian Bossenmayer

Online via Zoom

Belong or don’t belong? Your choice! Or is it? How do we decide who (or what or where) to belong to? Do we ever consciously decide? Or does it “just happen”? Or not?

This workshop will focus on, and explore, the unconscious processes at work, out of our awareness, that regulate our ability (and/or need) to belong to the groups that we encounter throughout our lifetime. Being part of a community can be challenging, especially if unconscious past experiences trigger defensive responses in us. These are many times subtle and can also be rather familiar ways we have learned to use when faced with the complexity of group life. Using the principles of Co-Creative TA we will be looking into ways to facilitate a more present centred stance in relation to ourselves, our environment, our context and those around us.

We will share thoughts around contexts, frame of reference, present centred relating to reflect together on how we might understand belonging.

As usual, we will work co-creatively with participants to maximise the learning available. The session will be interactive and include breakout groups.
