Personal Statement about Training Program: I am particularly interested in teaching Focusing to people who practice some form of 'deep listening' in their work and in their lives. This includes people involved in group facilitation, conflict mediation, organization development, community-building... and who may work as consultants, social workers, therapists, teachers, counselors, or social change activists. It also includes all those who are drawn to deep listening as a form of 'engaged spirituality', a way to help create a world that works for all... My own professional background is in organization development, group facilitation, social work, and transformative education. I have found Focusing extremely helpful for deepening one's capacity to offer Presence, to take all sides, and to trust and support the self-organizing process. As we learn to listen to ourselves more deeply, we become better able to listen to others... A Sample of my Work: Below is a link to an essay I wrote on the possibilities of dialogue for facilitating social change... http://www.collectivewisdominitiative.org/social_application.htm My Publications: I collaborated with Tom Atlee on his book, The Tao of Democracy http://www.taoofdemocracy.com I have written a manual on the Dynamic Facilitation process, available from Jim Rough and associates at http://www.tobe.net Several essays of mine on engaged buddhism have been published in the journal 'Turning Wheel'. I also contributed a chapter to the book 'Dharma, Color, and Culture', by Hilda Gutierrez Baldoquín.
