Process Skills
Training
An approach to
an incarnational spirituality
This is a
multi-dimensional and inside-out training in process facilitation, designed for
people already active as coaches, counsellors, consultants, mentors and
facilitators. You can expect to learn principles, practices and processes to
integrate into your own work in whatever ways work for you.
The approach we will
work with sees the self as an energy and field phenomenon that exists on
different and co-existent levels or dimensions. We will work with methods of
accessing and connecting these different levels, establishing flow between them
in ways that bring a greater experience of wholeness and coherence in the whole
system.
This
approach also assumes something self-organising at work within ourselves and
within the world – a sentiency or spirit that seeks to create wholeness, both
internally within ourselves and externally in relation to our environment. On a
personal level, we could see this as an energetic patterning or generative
matrix that is unique and individual to us, that holds the essential blueprint
for who we are. There are many terms for this – soul, source, seed, destiny,
life myth, DNA of the psyche – whatever term we give it, it gives meaning and
purpose to who we are and continually calls us, asking to be lived and given
expression. When we live close to an awareness of it, we experience a sense of
meaning, authenticity and coherence. Things become more integrated as a path,
with different parts of ourselves coming together rather than being all over
the place.
This approach is not
aimed at supporting people to align with an image of a psychologically or
spiritually healthy person – rather, it encourages alignment with each person’s
own inherent energetic patterning, their own self-organising principle.
In
this training we will work with ways of supporting ourselves and others to
connect with this inherent self-organising patterning, and to engage with the
path of our personal calling, as well as with the calling of the world and of
our times.
We
will also work with processes and techniques to negotiate ‘edges’, to
understand resistances and use them to bring change, as well as to find meaning, purpose and energy in disturbances.
In working with
growth and transformation processes, either with ourselves or others, we often
encounter an edge, a boundary between what we are more familiar with and
identified in ourselves and our cultures, and something that is less familiar,
more mysterious, maybe attractive, maybe disturbing or difficult. At the edge, we encounter inhibitors and
resistances of different sorts.
This
training uses an experiential approach which includes peer coaching exercises,
innerwork tools, relationship work and facilitation processes, as well as theoretical
presentations and discussion. We will
use more non-linear and less conventional methods of working – drawing,
movement, symbols, story, sound. These help us access different ways of knowing
and bring us different kinds of information than just thinking. We will be
thinking as well, of course – working with both sides of the brain, and
engaging the logical, emotional, metaphorical, subtle and self-organising
aspects of ourselves and of growth and incarnational processes.
This is a
hands-on training from the inside out, in that you will be participating in the
exercises and processes, as well as coaching and facilitating others through
them. You can expect to deepen your own innate facilitation and leadership
style, and to expand your counselling and coaching abilities, as well as to
connect with the values that underpin your calling to this work.
This training draws on approaches
from Incarnational Spirituality and Process Oriented Psychology, as well as the
work and experience of the Findhorn Community and the Transformation Game®.
To whom it might be interesting? Anyone working with people as a coach, counsellor, consultant, trainer, mentor or facilitator.
Why it might be useful? Expand your coaching, counseling and facilitation skills and style. Learn new approaches to integrate into your work.

Feedback about the training which took place in the beginning of 2015 in Japan from Mana Hirose:
"Mary Inglis has been in Japan for a month to give several kinds of
training include facilitators training. I had done "Process Skill
Training" which is asort of her works. It was really interesting work
based on Process Oriented Psycology and other aspects of Incarnational
Spirituarity by David Spanglar that includes the process skills, which
can be used in the Transformation Game or anywhere else working with people.
I recommend you if you have a chance! It is such a gift to be shared
Mary's rich insights & intelligence by long time experience. It was
time of learning mistery of life and a lot of fun!
These days I
am using process skills in my Transformation game facilitation, and it
works very well! It leads to really intuitional awareness and
understanding what is there in unconcious area of each person. Also it
is obvious to other players to understand what is happening with others.
More process, more compassion and support!"
