Online Workshop: Tending the Wild: Group Facilitation as an Aesthetic Practice With Ken Otter, Ph.D.

Saturday, March 9, 2024 | 9:30am to 12:30 pm Pacific Time |$80

Much of our work and learning activities and events take place in groups. Yet, there is too little attention paid to effective and skillful facilitation to group life, undermining a groups transformative power and potential. In this introductory workshop, we view groups as living eco-systems and draw upon the Life-Art Process to bring more artfulness to group facilitation to enhance their generativity and development, and the contributions of their members.

About me:

From my first exposure to Collective Creativity in 1981 as a participant in the Search for Living Myths and Rituals through Dance and the Environment and through several years participating in Collective Creativity projects with both Anna and Larry. Collective Creativity has been a passionate focus for me–personally, academically and professionally–ever since. One could say, I am now a Collective Creativity evangelist.

To get the most out of this online class, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device and reliable internet service. Also, have art supplies ready at hand for the drawing activity and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.

Please note: Tamalpa does not record nor permit the recording of any classes or workshops due to the sensitive and sometimes vulnerable nature of the work, and to protect student privacy.

Ken Otter, Tamalpa Institute FacultyKen Otter, PhD: It was experiencing the environmental work of Anna and Larry Halprin over 40 years ago that moved me to drop everything and immerse myself in the transformative power of the Life/Art Process, first as a student and performer, and then as a teacher. Enacting the Life/Art Process to awaken our inherent belonging and participation to the whole of nature has been an integral part of my life and work ever since.
