Worldwide, there tend to be stark divisions between groups and systems with different social, political, and economic interests that represent values, ways of living and worldviews that increasingly appear to be in opposition and conflict with each other. Group and system differences in how we see the world and how we think we should show up in it, usher in fundamental questions about our individual and collective sense of what is real or not real, right or wrong, moral or immoral, true or untrue, and as a result, generate stress and anxiety as well as sometimes curiosity, opportunity and potential for learning and growth.

 

The concepts of authority, leadership, and power are ubiquitous aspects of group and system dynamics. In this group relations conference, we invite you to explore how authority, leadership, power, and reality unfold in the here-and-now setting of our experiential learning environment.
