# Event Details - **Event Name**: Attention, Trouble and More-Than-Human Companions in Practice - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 07 Aug, 2026 at 09:30 am – Fri, 07 Aug, 2026 at 04:30 pm - **Event Description**: A 1 day workshop inviting practitioners to slow down & work differently with professional & ethical dilemmas in uncertain & demanding times.About this EventThis workshop is hosted by Lorna Edwards and Hugh Palmer. Drawing on ecosystemic practice, Batesonian thinking and more-than-human approaches, the day offers an embodied and relational exploration of attention, power and responsibility. Through an outdoor meditative walk, inquiry with more-than-human companions, a keynote orientation and shared reflective practice, participants are invited to notice how urgency, certainty and control shape their professional responses, and to reflect upon what becomes possible when attention is widened to include place, body and ecological relations.The workshop focuses on ethical positioning, relational humility and practices of restraint for contemporary systemic and helping professionals.Lorna Edwards is a systemic psychotherapist living and working independently in the South Wales/Cymru valleys. She feels that caring for Planet Earth and working for social justice is our way forward - as an alternative to our previously deluded (anthropocentric/human privileged) way of thinking and acting.And that we can do this through community connection/action - human and more than human - both local and virtual.Hugh Palmer is a systemic psychotherapist and Systemic Lead for a Clinical Psychology Doctorate at the University of Hull. His work draws on Gregory Bateson, second-order cybernetics and ecological thinking, with a particular interest in power, ethics and relational responsibility within therapeutic practice. His current writing considers how to hold material, relational, cultural and spiritual ways of seeing without them becoming a single story.AgendaStructure of the dayInfo: • Meditative and relational walk with Lorna • Keynote orientation with Hugh • Shared inquiry activity with Lorna & Hugh • Reflexive discussion and closing with Lorna & Hugh - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bridgend/attention-trouble-and-more-than-human-companions-in-practice/100001984754654600 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, fine-arts, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 7 hours - Location: Bryngarw Country Park - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 54.88, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Bridgend - **state**: WA - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Bryngarw Country Park - **lat**: 51.5568652 - **long**: -3.5804758 - **full address**: Bryngarw Country Park, Brynmenyn, Bridgend, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Attention, Trouble and More-Than-Human Companions in Practice - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/13ad47649b680b9fedb3bb3ced6e607c9b0091af6433e08d6cb51e5812863892-rimg-w1186-h660-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1776091786 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Attention, Trouble and More-Than-Human Companions in Practice being held? - **A:** Attention, Trouble and More-Than-Human Companions in Practice takes place on Fri, 07 Aug, 2026 at 09:30 am to Fri, 07 Aug, 2026 at 04:30 pm at Bryngarw Country Park, Brynmenyn, Bridgend, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Attention, Trouble and More-Than-Human Companions in Practice? - **A:** Attention, Trouble and More-Than-Human Companions in Practice is organized by The Centre for Systemic Studies/Family Institute Wales. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
