Discovering team work and group processes. Looking at our behaviour, defense mechanisms and awareness on 3 themes: inclusion, control and openness.

Max number of participants: 10
Please see extended hours. Full participation mandatory!
Cost: Contribution requested

“In this workshop, I invite you to:
-explore your awareness of your preferences and rigidities
-learn some theory on human behavior as developed by Will Schutz
-experience the usefulness of the theory through many interactive, dynamic activities
-take an outside-to-inside journey from the outer edges of your conditioned behavior to the edge of your inner spiritual essence
-stretch your beliefs and experiment with the consequences

This theory offers yet another chance to discover more about your SELF, and ‘not to know thyself is the reason for all thy stumbling and the cause of all thy suffering’ (Sri Aurobindo).”

Yuval has decades of experience in management, entrepreneurship, facilitation, coaching and personal development. He is passionate about helping individuals and groups to be more effective and powerful in living their dreams.

The Human Element is a systematic methodology for improving the way people work together created by Will Schutz, Ph.D. It produces an atmosphere where teams operate to their full potential utilizing every member’s contribution, everyone tells the truth, and each person takes full responsibility for his or her behavior and feelings.

The Human Element creates this by helping people increase candor and truth telling, and reduce or eliminate unproductive defensive behavior, leading to:
* Enhanced organizational culture
* Better and faster problem solving
* Improved teamwork
* Faster and clearer communication
* Increased social intelligence
* Fewer interpersonal problems

For the organization, this means:
* Increased productivity
* Lower turnover
* Faster times to market
* Improved innovation and problem solving
* Greater flexibility and capacity for change

The Human Element is based on three fundamental change principles:

Truth – Truth is the grand simplifier. It improves organizational effectiveness by making teams, decision making, and individual performance more effective, faster, and ultimately more profitable for the organization.

Choice – The choice principle creates accountability. Everything that happens between people is the result of the choices each person has made—both consciously and unconsciously. Each one of us is 100% responsible for ourselves and our situation and no one is to blame.

Awareness – The higher our level of self-awareness and self-esteem, the more our behavior is rational and not defensive.

When applied in organizations, these principles change many of our common beliefs about they way people work, resulting in a set of new assumptions.

Synopsis: Forty-three-year-old Lucas, a divorced industrialist, is irresistibly attracted to thirty-eight-year-old Elsa, a renowned ceramist whom he's commissioned to create a fresco for his office foyer. But, still smarting from a recent disappointment in love, he asks Roland Christin, a private detective from his company, to discover the reasons why this lovely woman is still single. Without the slightest scruple, Roland puts the most modern of surveillance methods into operation. Lucas better beware if Elsa finds out!

Synopsis : Quand Elsa rencontre Lucas, c'est comme dans les comédies romantiques américaines où l'amour est compliqué. Parce qu'elle est artiste et qu'il est, lui, le pdg qui lui a passé une commande, toutes sortes de doutes planent sur la nature de leur coup de foudre. Lucas est-il touché par le goût de la beauté ou pris dans les filets des relations de travail ? A moins que le patron ne soit fleur bleue et la créatrice, une calculatrice ? Pour que cette partie de cache-cache reste légère, Lucas est typé « obsédé de la vérité » et fait surveiller Elsa par un espion d'opérette…

 SATURDAYS OF JULY, 5 – 6 P.M

AT SAVITRI BHAVAN

Mudra -Chi - an experience to share -Sri Aurobindo Ma Saranam mama

These movements were born from a strong need for constant contact and sense of protection in the cement jungle of Buenos Aires . At the begining of 1990 in my way to meet an Aurovilian friend , I was strongly calling to Mother for something concrete to work with . My friend offered me a photograph of one of the Mother's Mudras .The first feelling I 've got from it was " Strength " , and later the words came : " Mother gives me Peace , Strength and Security ". (The meaning she has given for it is :"We face the world where falsehood is opposing Truth ") The following day , after my regular Tai-Chi work ,the response came for my body . At that time I was also translating Agenda 13 into Spanish , and on several occasions full body mudras also came to me when reading Satprems's descriptions of Mother's gestures reinforcing her explanations of an experience . In this way , for years ,a lot of body mudras were coming and I was enjoying them .But three of them where my daily work for keeping the Presence and feeling protected : 1- Mother's mudra 2- Sri Aurobindo's mudra 3- A mudra calling for the Force Till , one day looking at the Southest Andes on a beautiful Spring morning , the movements started flowing in a sequence together at the Four Cardinal points. In March 98 in a bare space looking at the Matrimandir , a group of us were sharing the mudras in a very spetial morning . Savitri Bhavan start to be build . To celebrate thetwelve Anniversary we are going to have a Mudra -Chi Encounter at Savitri Bhavan on the Thursdays of Febrouary , at 5.15 p.m I'm sharing them to all of you .They belong to you . Possible they can be an small help for some of us to do our work for unity together with Them and among ourselves from our true center . Thanks to Mother and Sri Aurobindo, and to my physical teachers , Master Liu and Rolf Gelewski.

The voice that chants to the creator Fire,

The symbolled OM, the great assenting Word, ... (Savitri, p.310) 

In 1961 the Mother gave the adesh to Narad to bring down a new music. She said that one must go
far above words and bring down the pure Music. Mother told us to sit in a
circle and have no preconceptions as to what we would sing but to be silent and let the music descend in us. The OM Choir aspires to bring down the New Music for the New World in a collective body. We
sing only OM, the creative and effectuating
word after starting with warming-up exercises given by Narad. All are welcome to join who sincerely wish to open to the New Music and be a channel for its
descent.

(If you are coming for the first time, please
come 15 minutes early.)
