(6-8 December 2019) Barcelona
with Andy Smith + Gill Emslie
Open to everyone
>REGISTRATIONS NOW OPEN<
“….. the struggle to be yourself against inner forces and outer rules, determines in part the length of personal life. …. it is a contest with self doubt and society over dropping into dreamtime, It is the precursor to a culture in which we create and dream together.”. Arny Mindell, 2003
A Processwork facilitator training – The Shamans Gift will delve deeply into personal calling, bringing a deeper understanding of oneself and bridging the individual and community worlds.
Why Such a Training? Unlike today’s accepted pressure to acquire only linear knowledge and learn under stress, this approach requires the individual’s willingness and ability to follow her or his body instincts to survive and live on this earth. It requires a connection to nature, your inner nature however irrational and non-linear – and how to love and live this in outer world. From this place of deep connection, we will learn to facilitate ourselves and the communities that we live and work in.
We will explore the “life or death” walk, dying to our attachments of who we are in the moment to discover the more creative and essential self which is trying to emerge. We will learn about the path of knowledge, our mythic path, find out about deepest parts and who we can be as well as about different ways of perceiving and interacting with our self and others, including the “hunter”, “warrior” and “ally. “
We will focus on:
- The role of the facilitator working with world issues as a modern shaman
- How to relate to our own inner world and using this awareness to facilitate
- Your calling and the edge to facilitation
- Non-linear interventions with privilege, rank and prejudice.
- Deepening connection to the Path of Knowledge and the Path of the Heart. Discovering what that means for you.
- Getting to know ‘the hunter’, who seeks out signals and develops a ‘second attention’.
- Living ‘the warrior’ who finds power but is not seduced by it.
- Finding the ‘ally’ within – the inner figures and possibilities we can become.
Friday 4pm – 20h

10-14h, 15.30 – 17.30h
This seminar is for coaches, facilitators, psychotherapists, communities, organisational consultants and anyone who wants to develop these skills and attitudes. The shaman operates with the knowledge that there are different dimensions of reality and ways of perceiving; tiredness, sickness and burn-out happen to us when we only perceive or work in one of these dimensions.
Whether you facilitate social and cultural changes, in individuals, groups and/or organisations we all need the shaman’s gifts.

Andy loves how we can access and engage with so called non-ordinary states of consciousness as part of this creative design process.

Processwork
Processwork is essentially a practice of awareness, a multidisciplinary approach to facilitate individuals and groups to discover themselves and find meaning and creativity in the difficulties and joys they face.
Processwork integrates ideas from physics, psychology, anthropology and spirituality and has been applied in many fields. Processwork (or process-oriented psychology) is used in the arts, theatre and psychotherapy, working with conflict, organisational change, community building, coma and work near death.
Developed by Arnold Mindell and colleagues, the approach includes “Deep Democracy” and “Worldwork” which are methods for working with the most marginalised parts of ourselves and society.
