SUMMARY:Warmth and Fire Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In times of great change\, how can the support of a group help us shift from isolation and overwhelm to clarity and motivation to act? Leading change in times of heightened intensity and complexity requires stronger communities of support. \n\n\n\nThis workshop gives you experiences of how peer support can enable people to move through change and find wise action. We explore the creative power that arises when we focus on understanding. Instead of trying to convince or offer help\, we offer side-by-side “accompaniment” to allow a person to find their own answers. See how the warmth of community support can light a creative fire. \n\n\n\n\nWhen we are listened to\, it creates us\, makes us unfold and expand. Ideas actually begin to grow within us and come to life. – Brenda Ueland \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is well suited to people working in social change\, facilitators\, artists/creators\, and community builders\, essentially anyone interested in creatively contributing to the betterment of the world.  \n\n\n\nYou will learn: \n\n\n\n\nSpecific practices that create a field of support to “accompany” a person who feels stuck or unsure how to navigate. You’ll see how movement and insights naturally emerge\n\n\n\nHow to tap into the collective wisdom of a group\, seeing a situation from more perspectives and recognizing more possibilities for how to proceed\n\n\n\nThe skill of ‘resonant listening’ – how to listen so people feel understood; and the process of constellations\, a powerful group approach to finding wise action\n\n\n\n\nYou’ll experience how a group can shift from being strangers to having a sense of warmth and cooperation in a few hours. \n\n\n\n\nMy vision is that we create spaces of kinship\, alongside our work\, in communities\, with our friends. Spaces where we can bring our big decisions…our moments of feeling stuck…and our creative aspirations. Spaces where we show up for each other\, asking “how can we be here for you?” These are some of the most fulfilling ways to be human together. – Beth Tener \n\n\n\n\nThe workshop is facilitated by Beth Tener and is held at here at Green Acre in Eliot\, Maine\, along the Piscataqua River. It continues the spirit of the SeaCHANGE Conference on arts\, healing\, and social change. \n\n\n\nYou can click below to register.

The path became much clearer in the 24 hours after our gathering.” \n\n\n\n“It was great to witness the beauty and depth of humanity through the presence and voice of all participants. Thank you for bringing us together and for giving a space of hope to everyone.  Bravo! Onward in community and vision!”
