In this time of great challenges for the planet, many clinicians yearn to expand the scope of their therapeutic work, but don't know how to get started. Using the concept of Social Artistry, we'll focus on how to apply the unique skills therapists possess to help bring about personal and social transformation in the wider world. You'll learn specific leadership and facilitation skills for work with larger systems, organizations, communities, and social institutions like churches and schools. Beyond that, you'll become part of a worldwide teaching/learning community that will expose you to a new level of consciousness and to projects and role models around the world to help you envision how to make a broader contribution.
