With the positive feedback I have been getting from participants about the content, environment and facilitators this year, the workshops are going well. I have never had to cancel any, and most have run full. I was really sad to cancel Peter’s (Sanders) day and he feels unable to commit to another. As most of you will probably know he had a heart attack in January, that has subsequently changed what he can do.<\/p>\n
John Threadgold, who I saw at the BAPCA conference, has now done three Focusing Oriented therapy workshops, two Level 1 and one Level 2. John has proved to be a very knowledgable and able facilitator of Focusing, and he hopes to do a level three (60 hrs to be accredited by the Focusing Ins). I am a FOT supporter, my ongoing learning has changed my practice with clients and supervisees and deepened my self awareness. FOT rocks!<\/p>\n
Karen Lake also received good feedback. The Attachment and Trauma weekend was powerful, I learnt a lot that weekend, and not just about my own attachment style, but it also affirmed my trust again, as if I need it, about the power of learning in small groups. Working with metaphor brought yet more new people here to PCCS Workshops.<\/p>\n
I was told that sitting round a table and sharing food at lunch time feels unique on workshops, providing the opportunity of being more intimate and encountering in a learning community over food. One of the delights of running PCCS workshops is that non counsellors are coming to all events.<\/p>\n
I experienced the \u201cPower\u201d workshop as a place where there was an unfolding and growing trust during the day. People took risks, sharing of difficult places, where they felt disempowered.<\/p>\n
The Therapy group goes from strength to strength. This will have been running for three yr s in the spring. We have a whole Saturday twice a year which adds something to the trust and openness.<\/p>\n
I want to continue to offer a variety of workshops and may revisit the contemporary study days.<\/p>\n
I also aim to continue to offer workshops and groups where learning is facilitated rather than directed. I love being part of all the group processes, Peggy Natiello has been my main inspiration here, my work and training with her being pivotal in my practice.<\/p>\n
