I’ve started a new project with Tana Lucker, offering free facilitated sessions to activists. We’re interested in honing our skills and supporting the work others are doing towards a more equitable and sustainable world. Our offering is informed by the questions, ‘what kind of world do we want to create?’ and ‘how can we live that world in this moment?’ Find out more here.
In June – July 2022, I’m running a new series of workshops at London Performance Studios as part of their Horizontal Practices programme. Together with participants, we’ll be researching creative ways of relating to our symptoms and body experiences. Exercises involving improvised processes like drawing, moving and interacting will guide embodying and expanding information within our symptoms, like a form of dream-work. There will be space for shared reflection. More info can be found here.
I’ve been part of co-organising a series of online open forums with Processwork Scotland and Processwork UK on issues to do with the climate crisis in the run-up to COP26, November 2021 in Glasgow. The forums explore: the relationship of our changing climate with colonisation and social justice; Scotland’s role; our emotional awareness, agency, creativity and responsibility as citizens. It’s been a deep learning process preparing for the forums, developing our understanding of the topics, researching and inviting incredible speakers, exploring ways for holding public conversations online with 70+ attendees, and co-facilitating conversations around challenging topics. More information on the forums can be found here.
Together with Carol Hardy and Eva Vohlidkova, I am co-facilitating an online group taking place over 3 sessions in February – March 2021, unfolding the individual and collective dreaming within body symptoms. Sessions offer a space to explore a personal body symptom through facilitation by a trainee Processwork practitioner, while witnessed by the group. Work ‘in the middle’ is optional, participants are also welcome to attend and ‘hold the pot’. Processwork is based on the idea that our physical and relational experiences are a form of dreaming, and that our experiences are not only our own, but part of a collective dreaming process.
