Workshop Retreats
I have lead a weekly Bion study group for fifteen years. I have also lead a weekly listening seminar focused on Klein and post-Kleinian ideas for nearly ten years. These groups have become creative learning workshops. I have deepened my appreciation of the importance of learning together as a group.
My intention is not to be "the one who knows" but to be someone who learns and who is committed to freely sharing what he learns along the path.
In this spirit, I offer opportunities for groups of various sizes to explore specific topics in lively creative dialogues. My intention is to create a creative workspace as a group and to foster the individual experience of developing "an internal workspace".
I want to help people not only find out what they think, but also to find the courage to risk expressing what they experience.
I offer seminars focusing on my own evolving "working models". These models develop the tradition of Klein, Bion, Meltzer, Tustin, Grotstein and many others.
Seminar topics may include:
*Listening as an Open Gate
*Gathering the Data of a Session
*Mapping the Countries of the Mind
*Becoming a Welcoming Object
*Obstructive Object Relations
Workshop details
Retreats are informal and conversational. I am an active instructor who freely shares a point of view while also curious about how each participant interacts with the information and the group. Meetings are intended to explore a topic and to make use of the group's experience as part of a learning process.
Retreats can be half day, full day, or weekends depending upon the interests and size of the group. Retreats provide opportunities to present clinical work as well as study evolving working models.
Visits can also include times for individual consultations (paid separately) if desired.
