Join the next round of our global co-creative experiment where we combine online WorldWork (facilitated dialogue) sessions with individual and collective writing, followed by an invitation to a wider audience to join.
About the process:
The starting point of this process is a virtual session with a globally spread group max of 15 people. We will open a facilitated space for personal sharing, sorting, and a group process, which then flows into individual writing prompts. These prompts will open the next level of a broader dialogue. They will be posted online where our group can continue unfolding the process.
Then we will invite others in as readers and as co-writers to add to the conversation. We will do this via a ‘everyday writers' platform called Substack.
Our vision is to nurture a diverse global community of people interested in engaging in and building skills for working on different global topics of our times. At the same time, this creates a medium for a wider audience to get involved and learn about the Worldwork approach to engaging with the pressing issues of our times. In our first round of WorldWork Journalism, we explored topics like polarization, identity & connection, being “the only other”, and global crises (detachment vs. care). You can read the articles on Substack.

About 🌏 Worldwork
Worldwork is an application of Processwork also known as process-oriented psychology. As a psychological and conflict-resolution approach developed by Arnold Mindell in the 1970s, it's based on the principles of Jungian psychology, Taoism, and systems theory, and it is used in various settings, including therapy, organizational development, community building, and conflict resolution. At its core, Worldwork aims to explore and understand both individual and collective processes in order to address conflicts, promote personal growth, and create more harmonious relationships within groups and communities. It focuses on bringing awareness to marginalized or ignored perspectives, as well as the deeper layers of consciousness within individuals and groups.
