Social Presencing Theater (SPT) is a method created by the Presencing Institute that enables individuals and groups to experience their current reality more clearly and to allow them to move into a saner, more compassionate future. This workshop provides training in applying embodiment practices, in particular Social Presencing Theater in leadership and change work. It is designed for facilitators, activists, consultants and anyone engaged in organizational and social change processes with some experience on SPT.
This deepening workshop intends to explore transformational shift processes from “Ego- to Eco-Awareness” – in the understanding of Theory U. What supports systems to develop the capacity to see itself? What are – noticeable – manifestations of such a shift? And in particular how can Social Presencing Theater be used as a research as well as capacity building tool in this respect?
The workshop will look therefore into specific aspects of facilitation as well as reflection that supports transformational shift processes from ego- to eco awareness. How can you as a facilitator of SPT methods support such processes? What can you pay attention to in the phase of observation and reflection? These are two core questions that will be central to the exploration in this workshop.
