2025 Being and Belonging: Explorations in Co-operation and Community

Desidero informarvi di un importante evento che coorganizza il NODO GROUP  che si terrà a Londra dal 28 al 30 agosto 2025 presso il TAVISTOCK CENTRE e a cui prenderò parte.

Our inspiration for this workshop derives from the long tradition of therapeutic community practices and from the Tavistock Group Relations Model and system-psychodynamic organisational thinking. Tom Main, Franz Fanon, Barbara Docker-Drysdale, Donald Winnicott, Wilfred Bion and R.D.Laing are some of the pioneers who articulated models of practice which are best summarised by the themes of Democratization, Acceptance, Communalism, Reality Confrontation and Reciprocal Relationships.

Through the design of this three-day workshop, we hope to experiment with ways of working and being together. We will be reflecting on our dreams, noticing the part played by the unconscious, attending to the interplay of leadership and followership, re-connecting body and mind, and discovering alternative ways to take up our authority within a democratic ethos.

To help us to learn from experience, to use our physicality to access nonverbal understandings of ourselves and our relationships, as well as to play and have fun, we have also included group exercises inspired by Argentine Tango, and a Social Dream Matrix.

This is our invitation to you. The workshop is open to all, especially if you are interested or involved in therapeutic community practice. Join us for what promises to be a rich weekend of exploration and discovery together.
