Our introductory workshop supports participants to “see” and explore the landscape of group culture. Through storytelling, structured play, and small group reflection, we support participants to identify and unpack their own expectations, biases, and needs in relation to group cultures.
To do so, we introduce a somatic (embodied) skillset which will enable participants to sense into, identify and unpack their expectations, biases, and needs in relation to group cultures. We will playfully externalize, question, and transform our own implicit belief systems with embodied and creative exercises and guided whole- and small-group reflection, in order to touch on the cultural elements that most support groups to thrive. This introduction supports you to consider our deeper explorations offered in our broader consulting programs.
In this introduction, we use a few case studies from our own recent work with groups to illustrate the ways a group’s culture determines the quality of its interpersonal relationships, while negotiating and distributing power & authority within each group. By exploring the implications of a more “Relationally Engaged” perspective, we outline some of the positive outcomes we’ve witnessed in our own work, while also speaking to the pitfalls groups unknowingly fall into when they do not attend to this dimension of practice.
