Wondering what is happening these days with the structures that used to seem so stable? From scientific facts to our legal and governance systems, those institutions supposed to create safety, to our very climate and precious biosphere, the essential ground for life on earth?
It feels like every day there is another threat to things that we should be able to take for granted.
Arnold Mindell gave us the concept of consensus reality … and it inspires me to think that the realm of objectivity is a consensus project. Truth is a group process! Seems we have to work together to create a new stable ground, to enact deeply democratic justice, to re-form a foundation that we can all share and build upon.
With institutions and environmental systems under threat, the role of structure, of stability, and grounding seems to be coming back to each one of us.
People are speaking up everywhere and we need to facilitate consensus reality in a deeply democratic way. How are you picking up this role? How are you contributing towards creating a sustainable ground for us all to share?
Processworkers help people go more deeply into the things that matter. Join us to resource the work you need to do.
Looking for ways to support yourself in speaking out? Join an international group of companions for the August Leadership Intensive - check out video welcomes from faculty below ...
And don't miss the chance to dive deep into Dreambody Medicine starting September 2nd, with Pierre Morin, Jai Tomlin, and Emetchi … Get inspired by Pierre’s exploration of Communal Medicine, sharing a vision to integrate health and social justice into the practice of all medicine…
Sending love from all of us at the Process Work Institute

with Stan Tomandl and Ann Jacob
Tuesdays, Sep 21, Oct 19, Nov 9, 2021
noon - 2pm PT
Why remember? Why forget? What do feelings of shame and overwhelm, self doubt and depression, hopelessness and uselessness have to do with creative 'adventures' and nurturing growth? What comfort in memory loss? How can we find and nourish the seed of something life changing and even creative, at seemingly impossible times?
Join us to further our explorations and awareness into the conundrums, mysteries, and benefits of forgetfulness, in its many dimensions.

Processwork is a modality inspired by indigenous knowledge, and we offer our respect to the elders, past and present, who have stewarded the land and indigenous knowledge and practices for generations.
We acknowledge the land where we are privileged to be based, now called Portland, Oregon in Multnomah County, as the traditional lands of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, bands of Chinook, and other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River.
We pay our respects to the resilient and proud communities of native people currently living here and recognize the devastating histories of colonization and systemically racist policies that have impacted and continue to impact indigenous peoples here and around the world. We work towards a world where respect for indigenous people, culture, knowledge and practices, creates the basis for a vibrant, diverse and just community.
