Theme and invitation

In recent years, we have been witnessing the impact of numerous unprecedented events
on our human condition – the terrifying war in Ukraine, the prolonged pandemic, and the dramatic effects of climate change. One of the experienced consequences of this situation
is a strong sense of isolation and a loss of connections. Are we helpless bystanders or are we participants? Our social structures seem more fragile than many of us believed,
and democratic institutions in many countries are under threat.


Facing all this, how are we to establish the space where we could attempt to restore hope?
To try and repair things to some extent? To restore ourselves internally, so that we can create
and recreate relationships strong enough to face reality, foster a sense of community, and reclaim the values that are important to us? How do we find the personal and group leadership that such times require? How, in brief, do we move from separating to relating?

We invite you to explore these issues through experience, utilizing the group relations approach, in which whatever we bring into the system, may be not only talked through but also emotionally experienced, understood and used as a resource for learning.

Please join us for the face to face Group Relations Conference, in Kraków, Poland.
The Conference starts at 2pm on Thursday 20th April, and finishes at 2pm on Sunday 23rd April 2023.
