A two-hour live online workshop with David Young, hosted by Simon Courtney.
How can we stay connected when our perspectives differ?
Collective Integration
In families, communities, workplaces and public life, difficult conversations can quickly become places of tension or distance. We may want to listen and understand, yet find ourselves reacting, withdrawing or struggling to be heard.
The Art of Collective Integration offers an approach to understanding what happens beneath these divisions, and supporting a return to relationship.
Join David Young, Simon Courtney and his team for an introduction to how unresolved personal and collective experiences influence the ways we meet one another. Together, we’ll explore how embodied presence and relational awareness can help us make room for different perspectives without needing immediate agreement.
What we’ll explore
What happens within us and between us when differences become charged.
How to stay grounded and present in difficult conversations.
How to listen with curiosity while remaining connected to our own perspective.
What supports groups in moving towards greater understanding and connection.
This is an invitation to slow down and listen to what happens within us and between us when connection becomes difficult. To recognise how our histories live in the present, and explore what helps us recover a felt sense of “us”—even when we see things differently.
