At this time of societal upheaval, reflective practice is more important than ever. We are living with increasing uncertainty, division and disruption, and we are beginning to acknowledge the interdependent nature of the world within which we live. Organisations and teams are permeated by the wider social dynamics. These dynamics, as well as the organisational culture and team relationships and communication, effect the health of a team.
Team health is based on sustaining a culture that promotes open communication, creativity, mutual support and challenge. A reflective practice group is a deliberately created space for colleagues to have conversations in which to foster the health of their team and wider organisation.
The Foundation Weekend offers an introduction to the group analytic approach to working with teams and leaders in organisations. It will offer lectures from leading practitioners, opportunities to experience reflection in small and median groups, exercises to deepen understanding of leadership and group dynamics, and opportunities to consider how to apply your learning to your own work setting.
Group Analysis is an internationally established discipline. It articulates fundamental processes which can be observed in all groups, and pays close attention to the relationship between each individual in the group and the group as a whole, making it a particularly valuable model for working with teams and Reflective Practice Groups.
Who is the Foundation Weekend for?
The Foundation Weekend is open to anyone with a professional interest in reflective practice. Non group analysts can attend the Reflective Practice Groups. This may be as an organisational leader or manager, a coach, organisational consultant, social or psychological practitioner. It will be of particularly interest to people who are running a reflective practice group and those who wish to understand how to use these groups to promote organisational health and effective communication.
Group analysis values differing perspectives and diversity. The course welcomes applications from professionals with a variety of theoretical perspectives, and welcomes people of all ages, abilities, race, class, religion, gender and sexualities.
The weekend is a prerequisite for applying for the Diploma in Reflective Practice in Organisations.
Former participant: “I am still realising now what I have taken away from the weekend and putting it into practice. Best of luck to you all and thank you for your professionalism, hospitality and kindness.”
