Hello All,

I would like to offer a structured discussion for the DF community, as follows:

Thinking about Dynamic Facilitation In Gendlin�s Philosophy of the Implicit
A four-week discussion hosted by Neil Dunaetz

Tuesdays:� September 17, 24, October 1 & 8 2013
9am-10:30am Pacific, 12noon-1:30pm Eastern, 6pm-7:30pm CEST

What happens in a Dynamically-Facilitated meeting/group?�

The shift to �choice-creating� is not so much directed as it is �evoked� by the specific way a DF-ed meeting is conducted.� We can see the elements of facilitation that make for this shift, but what is going on unseen such that �choice-creating� emerges?� Can we think in more precise terms about the non-linear and more-than-logical progression of a Dynamically-Facilitated meeting?

And, how shall we think about the changes in individual participants and in the group as a whole?

How is new possibility generated, and from what?�

In his A Process Model, Gendlin radically re-conceives �the body� in terms of its implicit functioning.� The breakthroughs and choice-creating of Dynamic Facilitation become more readily thinkable with the �process-concepts� of Gendlin�s philosophy.

I intend this discussion to be both a deeper thinking into DF (especially the transformative aspects) using Gendlin�s philosophy, and also an incomplete but living introduction to the philosophy itself. We will see what Gendlin�s philosophy of the implicit does (can do) when it �bites into� DF.� And we will see if thinking about DF in Gendlin�s new terms can help us be better DF facilitators.

All who are familiar with Dynamic facilitation are invited to participate.� We will meet by Skype and phone conference.� There is no set tuition, but donations are welcome�whatever you are comfortable with.� I will record the meetings and send the links to all participants.� Please try to attend all the meetings, or as many as you can.�

To register, please contact me by phone, skype or email.��

Thanks,
Neil Dunaetz

To clarify, this seminar is not about Focusing per se.� I do think that incorporating Focusing into DF would be quite fruitful.� That could be a related, different discussion, at another time.
