‘The most memorable part was seeing a deeper side to my friends.’
- Group participant K.
I've been facilitating groups in varying contexts for close to 8 years now. It has always been a teacher to me to listen better, ask more, see wider, and look closely.
There is room for POSSIBILITY - hearing how others cope with the issues you might be facing.
There is room for NUANCE - addressing the complexities and contradictions in each of us.
There is room for IMAGINATION - as you rework your behaviours before taking it into the world.
There is room to LEARN from others - as there is room to contribute to their learning.
There is room to RECEIVE support - from those witnessing your journey to becoming closer to who you want to be.
In an atmosphere built towards safety, kindness and non-judgement, it also made clear to me the second-chances deep group work offers us in re-introducing ourselves to our own worlds and those in it. Strangers and loved ones alike.
