Relationship Work
Relationship work provides an opportunity to discover and delve into emerging creative patterns that arise from interactions between us. We all face challenges associated with criticism, self-esteem, conflict, dependence, addictions, abuse or power struggles. It can be helpful to explore these topics with others. And although it can be challenging to meet one another with honesty and vulnerability, it can be equally rewarding to witness and be witnessed in relationship.
This kind of work encourages a deeper awareness of diversity and structural discrimination or systemic violence that characterizes the institutions and unconscious thought patterns in our societies. This work focuses on individual processes, relationship processes, and the myths from which relationship emerges. Through these explorations, we gather new resources and patterns which support lasting and sustainable relationships and communities.
“Conflict is, in a very strong sense, the land of one’s relationship. Relationships that grow from a well-conducted conflict are like grapes growing in a mineral-rich land. They produce wines full of character and complexity that mature well, improving instead of deteriorating over the years.”
