A Plan for Group Process  One of the most difficult aspects in forming self-led groups is ‘getting everyone on the same page’.  Transformation is the spiritual purpose of human life, our basic positive intention.  Yet this implies that we are transforming something that we are not fully ready to let go of.  We are attached to our negativity.  Developing consciousness and awareness can accelerate the process of transformation.   It also activates our defenses, since we feel shame and guilt about our resistance -- compounding our sense that we are bad and creating a vicious circle.  Group work unleashes both -- our positive intentions, and our fear that we are only our negative resistance.   process group needs to develop and maintain a safe container for members.  Repressed thoughts and feelings may need to be expressed and explored. What follows is a proposal for developing process groups, which may continue on their own or with facilitation.
     Teleconference Process Groups: Form on your own, choose a geographical region to affiliate with, or volunteer to be assigned to a group.  Groups are encouraged to meet on their own, by phone or in person, between teleconferences. A group may become self-led or continue with facilitation.
     Facilitated Group Formation requires a commitment for 2 months at a time.  Members will participate in four 90-minute facilitated group teleconferences plus four 50-minute individual sessions.  Individual sessions can be used to support your process, work on inter-group relationships, or deepen understanding of Pathwork concepts. Minimum of 4 participants.
     Module Fee:  US$240/A$270, paid in advance, covers one 8-week module of group teleconferences and private sessions. If members decide not to continue in the group. private sessions may be completed. 
     Topics:  During  the initial 2-month module, topics will be selected which encourage and develop group formation, create a common agreement for how the group will operate, and offer suggestions for conflict resolution.  Understanding personality types is crucial, as defenses are naturally activated when we attempt to change equilibrium or balance.   Topics for successive modules may be selected by the group. Audio, video, and self-study materials from past teleconferences are available at www.janrigsby.com
     Ongoing groups may request facilitation at individual rates: US$70/50-minutes, US$90/75 minutes.
