Embodied, Embedded, Emergence in Supervision - Eco Supervision
for new and established supervisors 16/17 June 2018 Sligo
5th and 19th October 2018 Dublin
.
Margaret Aylward Centre, Glasnevin, Dublin 11
“We are talking only to our ourselves. We are not talking to the rivers, we are not listening to the wind and the stars. We have broken the great conversation” Thomas Berry, The Dream of the Earth
“We strongly agree that supervision should not be reduced to the human and material realms, but should also be open to the ‘more than human world’ (Hawkins & Shohet, 2012: 110)
“ Our body moves as our mind moves. The qualities of any movement are a manifestation of how mind is expressing through the body at that moment” Bainbridge-Cohen 2008, p4
Supervision is about generating fresh perspectives on the material brought to supervision “or at least the possibility of a new response to the familiar perspective” (Chesner and Zografou 2014, p 18). Working with the language of movement as well as the language of words and actively engaging with the context within which supervision is held, be that an indoor or an outdoor place, this creative modality invites us to work with perspective in a new and imaginative way. This can offer surprising insights to our work.
.The work will include
Participants are invited to bring case material from their work so they may leave the workshop with “ take away and use it” material and ideas. This workshop is open to supervisors across disciplines. In the past psychotherapists, psychologists, spiritual directors, drama therapists, dance movement therapists and homeopaths have attended.
What previous participants have said
" The content opened up a whole new area in supervision"
"I am still processing the weekend of Eco-supervision and being more aware of my presence in nature and nature’s presence in me. I used the outdoor work with adolescents in the unit and it changed them from closed quiet adolescents to talkative young people."
" The notion of developing the internal supervisor was excellent, great description and space to practice. I found this a highlight"
" Working with Therese has inspired me to bring my full attention to the influence of place and movement within the context of offering supervision.I feel enlivened and inspired to explore embodiement, embeddedness and emergence further"
The workshop will held at Margaret Aylward Centre for Faith and Dialogue in Glasnevin in Dublin. Designed to provide easy access to and dialogue with the natural world this venue has much to offer. It has beautiful and ample indoor space ideal to explore movement work, access to the outdoors including the beautiful Cedar of Lebannon tree and overview of the Botanic Gardens, and free on site parking.
