BrizCATs MIECAT Professional Development Weekend with Warren Lett

Thanks to all for a richly nourishing weekend immersed in collaborative connection and meaning making. Warren Lett lovingly led us as we inquired into the value of presence in companioning.  The generosity of sharing over the 2 days touched us and reminded us of how important it is to be a loving presence, and allow our own humanness in our work with others. Our work is deeply based on the knowing that to be seen, heard, accepted and loved as we are is an essential human need for flourishing.

A poetic response:

A safety of trust
allows us points of connection
in our real humanness
Being with what is going on...
Naming what is going on...
the emotions
the experience
of living in relationship

PD opportunity for MIECAT grads and students


Professional Development Weekend for MIECAT
Graduates and Students (2nd year students and beyond only)
Don’t miss this great opportunity to develop your MIECAT skills here in QLD!
With Dr Warren Lett

April  Saturday 20- Sunday 21 2013. 
9.30 – 4.30
Cost: $200
Saturday.20 April:   9.30-4.30
Presence, Process and Value
 
A workshop implementing the preconscious, subliminal, intersubjective, intuitive resonance at work in companioning.  This will be a process in which 2 or 3 people work together on the inquiry, to make sense of something that emerges, and that matters to one of the three.
The methodological purpose is to see if we can find ways to keep track of what is happening both between and within the participants. Ultimately, we want to discover how and what is happening in the process of the inquiry, that is emergent, that builds on itself, making sense as we go. It also draws strongly on the experience of reflexivity, in order to make sense of our process.
If some of you are interested in using electronic recording bring your equipment and you can use that. Others may just be present, using other ways of recording and reflecting on processes.
This will take up most of the first day.
 
 
Sunday 21 April:   9.30-4.30
1. Discussions, questions you carry from your practice, mental health work in various contexts. Opportunity to ask questions and discuss with Warren re his book “An Inquiry into making sense of our lives”.
 
2. PPR- Professional Practice Reflections from your work. Usually called Supervision. Bring some materials.
