Being in/ Being with
Members of a cohesive group feel warmth and comfort in the group and a sense of belongingness; they value the group and feel in turn that they are valued, accepted, and supported by other members. ~ Irvin D. Yalom.
A group offers a structure to facilitate learning how to take risks and be validated in the presence of another. Leading groups is a specialist skill from years of training and supervision focussed exclusively on group processes.
The monthly groups are an opportunity to hold our individual needs alongside being of service to another, support, and describe - embody/enact roles and share our relatedness for cohesion and connection.
