What is Process Work?

Process Work is an innovative approach to individual and collective change, which combines psychology, spirituality and social activism into a single paradigm. Its broad-spectrum applications include psychotherapy, bodywork, relationship conflict and large group dynamics. Process Work was developed in the last 25 years by Drs Amy and Arny Mindell who discovered that the dreaming process went far beyond our night time dreams and could be seen in physical symptoms, relationship difficulties, addictions, extreme states of consciousness, and social tensions. All of these dreamlike processes - when approached with openness and respect - can lead to new insight and an energetic shift that is vital for our development. With roots in Jungian psychology, philosophical Taoism, Zen and modern physics, Process Work is based on the assumption that the solution to a problem is contained within the disturbance itself. Recent developments have deepened the connection between quantum physics and process-oriented awareness training with the new concept of sentient reality and 24-hour lucid dreaming. The training will focus on methods and tools for using heightened states of consciousness in the therapeutic process, to help individuals, couples, families and groups connect with greater awareness and creativity.
