The power of Groups
Any project, goal or objective seems more attainable if a group of people, seeing themselves existing within a larger interdependent system, wholeheartedly commit themselves to accomplish it.
Teams and groups committed to the common good are increasingly becoming an essential dimension of human expression and impact, whether in organisations, communities, nations or other groupings. We live in a challenging, uncertain, volatile yet powerful world, where individual skills and know-how are no longer sufficient to navigate toward solutions and access inherent possibilities. A world where the challenges of today can only be faced through groups using applied group wisdom and committed to the greater good.
Group work is part of the incoming new world.
Therefore knowing the Group as a living bio-psycho-spiritual Entity and learning how to give it birth is a main task for every true world server. The course is the result of more than thirty years long research and experience in Group work done by the Community of Living Ethics. It encapsulates the essential tools to become a Group Focaliser. In an intense hands-on training, participants will learn:
• How to create a dynamically stable and impactful Group.
• How to lead it to the fulfilment of its task and
• How to enable every group member towards truly expressing their best qualities and potentialities.
This course is intended for who are interested in learning the laws of Group work from both a practical and spiritual perspective and geared towards effective manifestation.
The course is based on dynamic Psychology, on the personal and transpersonal Psychosynthesis, on the principles and models of Psychoenergetics and on the Star group model, designed by Enzio Savoini. No prior experience of Psychosynthesis is required.
