Based on Jo's Chapter in the book, we will explore the use of Creative approaches to Supervision within the Group context.

Jo will draw on her own experience, and that of the participants who arrive, in considering how the use of creativity in the Group context might aid the supervision process - enabling participants to illuminate individual process, reveal group dynamics, engage wisdom beyond cognitive knowing....and much more.

Creative approaches can be fun, liberating, surprising....and hold light and shade, grey, loss, sadness and attend to wishes and dreams and disappointments.

Do join us!

This workshop will be hosted on the Zoom meeting platform where we will use our camera and microphones to interact with each other as a group.
