How do you support people in challenging situations without rushing to find solutions?
And how do you deal with your own inner conflicts, uncertainties and patterns?

Change often shows itself in feelings, body signals and inner tensions. It becomes especially noticeable in contact with others.

In the intensive training in Process Work, you learn to perceive and facilitate these processes consciously. You develop orientation in complex situations, strengthen your awareness and find your own way of supporting people professionally. Your own personal development is a central part of the training.

You learn to look beyond the obvious by including body language, non-verbal signals, relationship dynamics and your environment (organisational structures, social dynamics, etc.).

Learning content

The training is aimed at people who work with others in social, political and community contexts, e.g. in counselling, team leadership, coaching, therapy or education. A central focus is on combining personal development with application in your own field of work.

You will learn:

• the foundations of Process Work and process theory
• to work with body signals, movement and non-verbal communication
• to deal with inner criticism, blocks and emotional reactions
• to work with dreams, images and inner parts
• to recognise patterns in individual and interpersonal processes
• about the interaction between individual and society
• practical methods for facilitating processes of change
• self-coaching: understanding yourself and supporting yourself with compassion
• to develop your attitude and professional role

Prerequisites

A personal preliminary conversation in which we clarify together whether the training suits you and your professional situation, and participation in an introductory seminar such as The Magic of Process Work(16–18 April 2027, in German), or similar experience.
