Dear Reader It's ALIVE!! Our 2025 training calendar is finally out in the world! A bit later than usual because we've been making what will eventually be grand improvements to our registration software and processes (so if you've done a course with us in the past, the registration system will look a little different). Which brings us to the glitching part of the announcement... If you've been on this list for a while and studiously read every email, you know that ANZPOP is a charity, run on a democratic enterprise model by volunteers, all of whom are Process Work Diplomates. Long story short: great facilitators - average tech-wranglers. We've tested the new systems and they worked great in the testing environment, but that doesn't guarantee a glitch-free system out in the wild. So when you register, if you encounter any issues, please just let us know at admin@anzpop.org and we'll get it sorted ASAP. Any graciousness you can spare as we sort things out will be very appreciated but we also know what it's like to get frustrated when tech doesn't work properly so yeah, we'll understand if you feel a bit irritated by it too. What is very exciting is that we've integrated Paypal Pay in 4 for our courses (which means you can pay for the course in four instalments). This kind of deferred payment program can be problematic (by way of enabling people to overspend) but can also function to increase accessibility by accommodating a wider range of financial situations and preferences. So yay for more accessibility!! You can find the full calendar here and same as last year, you can search the courses by location (including online), by trainer, and by training category. You'll see some of our core workshops are back, plus some fabulous new programs. We're also cooking some other offerings that will emerge across the year - this newsletter is always the most reliable way to hear about these so stay tuned. Lastly, we're always happy to consider requests so if there is a training topic you'd like to see us cover, just let us know!! warmly ANZPOP |
Thought-provoking ideas, and transformative tools and training for working with individuals, groups, organisations, and communities.
Dear Reader, This month's newsletter focuses on 'the calling': how we support ourselves to listen to, focus on, and unfold the signals arising within and around us. But let’s start with a word on why this can be hard. Most of us have stayed with a familiar path at some point, even while quieter signals were suggesting another. In many ways it's deeply human. The known track feels safe, and our communities and larger systems often settle into well-worn tracks too. Sometimes those tracks...
Dear Reader, Spring is nature's own celebration of diversity, a riot of new colours, shapes and forms all emerging together, each different, each essential to the whole. And so too with our upcoming programs that we are delivering in spring and summer! This newsletter is focused on skills to support diversity because diversity lies at the heart of Process Work. It begins with the concept of Deep Democracy, the listening and valuing of all parts, knowing that different energies all have their...
Dear Reader, This month’s newsletter is inspired by poetry. The poet’stask is simple. He looks for quiet,and speaks to whathe finds there.David Whyte, Excerpt from The Poet So we invite you to become a poet for a moment.What do you hear in the quiet? In your body? In the world? In your relationships? In your dreams? What do you find there? Make a few notes. We begin by slowing down, seeking quiet so we can hear more clearly. We can consider other types of listening too – listening to tiny...
