If you have a specific group in mind who you think would resonate with and benefit from a workshop or longer intensive, Peter is happy to co-design something that fits their specific needs. He chooses to work with groups who are looking to make a life-affirming contribution to a healthy world. Themes that he can focus on include leadership, organisation, change, the societal shift we are in, ancient wisdom and new science, deep sustainability, consciousness, rugby, celtic folk music – you get the idea!

Presence in Essence – Letting Go, Letting Come and the Space In-Between

Return to Overview
Overview
IThis two and a half day intensive will create the conditions for us individually and collectively to experience this process and to make explicit what our unfolding understanding is of how best to host deep transition ourselves.

On Day One we will get to know each other and the questions that are in the room, and then start the process of letting go and hospicing, using the cases that you bring in. That will take us into a presencing practice, from where we will go into the night and our dreamwork.

The second day will be an experience of giving birth to what wants to emerge out of the silence and space created during presencing. The morning of the third day will be devoted to bridging back to the contexts that we came from, and integrating our experience. Each of the sessions will involve some framing, the experience and reflection on the experience. A core part of this will be space for you to journal or otherwise creatively process your experience.

The course will run from June 18 10.00 to June 20 13.00, with evening programs.
