This Sacred Inclusion Network Exploration will dive into the fascinating world where ancient myths meet modern group psychology, offering you a unique lens to explore the dynamics of any group you're part of, be it at work, within your family, or among friends. We'll explore how timeless stories and archetypes from mythology can help decode the often hidden, unconscious elements that influence group behavior and interaction. Thisexploration is inspired by the new book Gods, Hero's and Groups, and will be facitated by the authors
This session isn't just about learning theory; it's about applying these mythic insights practically. Through interactive activities, discussions, and group exercises, you'll learn to recognize patterns and roles within your groups, like the 'Trickster' who challenges norms or the 'Hero' who leads through challenges. Whether you're a team leader, a coach, a therapist, or simply someone curious about human behavior, this workshop will equip you with the tools to understand and navigate group dynamics more effectively, enhancing your ability to foster better communication, resolve conflicts, and promote a harmonious group environment.
