Deep Democracy Facilitation (or processwork) by Arnold Mindell

It is a space to slow down, turn inwardly, and explore how resilience and personal power arise when we allow all parts of ourselves – and the world around us – to speak.
In Process Work, we see resilience not as something we “achieve” but as something that emerges when we are relating with the signals, tensions, and hidden potentials within and around us. Personal power is not about control, but about being in touch with the deeper currents that carry us, even in times of uncertainty.
In this training, we invite you to:
listen to your body signals and inner feedback,
discover how your personal history shapes your experience of power and powerlessness,
work on your life myth and its main challenges (edges)
meet inner critics and marginalised parts that influence your resilience,
explore how your power can flow more naturally when you follow your process,
and experience how moments of stuckness and conflict can open new pathways for connection and co-creation.
Together, we will move between inner work, relationship work, and group reflections – learning not from fixed models, but from the unfolding processes in ourselves and between us. This is a space to experiment, to listen deeply, and to honour both your struggles and your strength.
Ultimately, it’s a journey into eldership –
the attitude to stand beside ourselves with compassion, and recognise that all our parts – strong, vulnerable, visible, or hidden – have a place and a voice.

About Process Work:
Process Work (or Deep Democracy), developed by Arnold Mindell, is an awareness-based approach to personal and collective transformation. It teaches us to follow the process, trusting that every symptom, every conflict, and every edge carries hidden information needed for change. Whether working with individuals, relationships, or whole groups, Process Work invites us to engage with what is marginalised, to listen more deeply, and to access the wisdom inherent in each moment.
