Self-Modelling for Personal Development

with Penny Tompkins and James Lawley

October 31st - November 1st 2009

in
Bath, England

*** EVENT FULLY BOOKED ***


Best selling author Caroline Myss (Anatomy of Spirit, Why People Don't Heal, and Sacred Contracts) says of this work:

"The use of metaphors as a means of evaluating how you order your world, your relationships, your occupation, and interpret the experiences of your life is invaluable."

You can join us as either a client or a trainee modeller.

As one of three clients:

During the weekend you will receive individual sessions facilitated by Penny Tompkins and James Lawley within the setting of a small supportive group. In between time you will have the opportunity to draw and research symbols and words, and update your 'Metaphor Map' as new information becomes available and your Metaphor Landscape evolves. Becoming aware of the patterns iin your metaphors and how they are organised can lead to profound insight, naturally occurring change and organic transformation.

You can use the self-modelling process to work with unwanted thoughts, feelings and behaviours so they evolve into new ways of being and doing; or you may want to enhance your sense of self; or connect with your life purpose; or discover whatever is important to you at your current stage of personal development; or ... it's up to you.

The group will include a small number of trainees who are in the process of training to be facilitators of Symbolic Modelling. They will not facilitate but are part of the group and are there to learn by observation and discussion.

Or you can watch a 12 minute extract of Penny and James working with a client taken from the DVD A Strange and Strong Sensation.



As Ernest Rossi (author of Dreams, Consciousness & Spirit, The Symptom Path to Enlightenment and The Psychobiology of Mind-Body Healing) says the Symbolic Modelling process:

"helps people learn how to facilitate their own creativity in solving their own problems in their own way."


As one of up to 6 trainee modellers:

To attend in this role you will be experienced in Symbolic Modelling. You will be observing Penny and James facilitating clients and you will have an opportunity to:

  • Observe how they adapt their approach to each client
  • Notice how the process unfolds during a number of sessions over the two days
  • Debrief how thinking of a Metaphor Landscape as a self-organizing system informs which questions are asked
  • Discuss your modelling and ask questions of Penny and James.

Penny and James were inspired to establish this unusual format in recognition of how much they had learned by observing David Grove working with clients and then discussing the process with him.
