Session

Fear knocked at the door. Love answered and there was no-one there (Sufi Maxim)

I will be looking with you at how fear and love enter into our everyday life.  Fear can sometimes hide behind such states as anger, shame, preoccupation with safety, rigid adherence to beliefs or rules, comparisons, judgement, perfectionism, impatience.  Much of my work is bringing fear into consciousness in order to dissolve it so we can enter into a here and now loving presence together.  Part of the talk will be on how this was done in an assessment process for the EMCC ESQA Post Graduate Diploma in Advanced Supervision at Ashridge Hult.
