"We become fully conscious only
of what are able to express to someone else.
We may already have had a certain inner intuition about it,
but it must remain vague so long as it is unformulated"
Paul Tournier from "The Meaning of Persons
This is my favourite group work quote.
So So powerful for me.
Interactions are vital for growth.
‘We find comfort with people who agree with us
We find growth with people who don’t.’
I love that quote too.
It all seems sense to me
and feeds my group work.
We learn in
discussion
sharing
listening
questioning
asking questions
disclosing ourselves
encouraging others to do so.
Especially in groups.
And I don’t mean chatter.
I am talking L5 here.
A group-work session is an experience.
We learn from experiences
especially when we reflect in a group.
Reflective practice.
A purposeful exercise.
We can change.
We must change.
We must not be just a ‘being’
We must also be BECOMING.
INSIDE OUT.
Allowing
encouraging
our experiences to rise within us.
We learn from what is stirred within.
We learn from spiritual and emotional reactions.
I have often mentioned on these pages
that I have belonged to a Level Five group
for going on 36 years.
We can share like we have never been apart.
electric
magnetic.
If you don’t belong to a group who self disclose strategically -
start one.
A Becoming Group.
A L5 group.
a Inside-Out group
