C) Groups & Classes
My Aunt Kit Focus Groups, Classes & Workshops 2009
FOCUS groups are powerful vehicles of support and sharing between 6-8 people in a safe, confidential communal setting around a specific topic. Small focus groups function supportively to create community & share information through dialogue in a culture which works hard to keep us from sharing our inner most beings with others. In small groups the community builds trust based upon experiencing tolerance with a small group of people sharing a specific intention of focus.
A DREAMING COMMUNITY (12 week focus group)
Creating a community interested in Dreaming. A gathering of those who Honor dreaming and those who wish to. This will be a coming together to share dreaming techniques, to do group work around dreams, to explore dream interpretation. Dreaming includes night and day dreams. Some of you do your best work asleep or in non-ordinary day dreaming. Open the connection between sleep and waking by learning to create a bridge between these two states of conciousness. Option to be ongoing.
COMMUNICATION & PRESENCE THROUGH THE END OF LIFE (6 week class)
Therapuetic use of Self, the ministry of Presence in end-of-life care. How to be fully with a human being in the process of moving from this physical & familiar world to the next stage. Keeping a foot in both worlds, standing as a midwife, a doula for the dying. Tuning in to body movement, facial changes, vocalizations...which "speak" for the person in transition. The use of medication in the end of life state which deadens the ability to communicate when someone no longer has their voice was once thought to be a merciful removing of pain or anxiety. Ongoing research points toward a different perception, a human being, now non-verbal/wordless, trying to reach out only to have that "voice" suppressed because the body, the sounds, are not looking coordinated or familiar. How do you decipher pain & anxiety from a differential diagnosis of "communication." Are we preventing our loved ones from speaking to us, from sharing their final visions, thoughts, miracles? This class will explore coma communication, how to be centered in the midst of changing states of conciousness, how to faciliate concious dying.
