Most of us are terrified of conflict, says Arnold Mindell, PhD, author of fifteen books and internationally recognized for his innovative synthesis of Jungian therapy, dreams, and bodywork. But we needn't be. His burning passion is to create groups and organizations where everyone looks forward to group processes instead of fearing them. He calls this the deep democracy of open forums, where all voices, thoughts, and feelings are aired freely, especially the ones nobody wants to hear. Since 1992, one of Mindell's prime interests has been the bringing of deeper awareness to group conflicts. Conflict work without reference to altered states of consciousness is like a flu shot for someone in a ...

Arnold Mindell describes "The Leader as Martial Artist" in his new 2014 preface: "Here you will find my first introduction to Deep Democracy, as the core of organizational process. Here is where you will find a basic and today, still completely relevant application of field theory, how it connects with Taoism, and "time spirits." The stress upon awareness in the midst of psychological and political turbulence is timeless .
In "The Leader’s 2nd Training," Mindell introduces tested 2nd Training Inner Work, Bodywork, Relationship, and Large Group methods for personal, group, and world conflicts. Two key ideas are that everyone is needed as a 2nd Training leader to facilitate conflicts worldwide, and that 2nd Trainings are based on a Big TOE (Big Theory Of Everything). 1st Trainings in Leadership should include, at the minimum, diversity awareness, group process skills, business leadership concepts, and conflict methods. Such cognitive trainings, while very much needed, are not enough to help our planet’s worst social and environmental problems. Therefore, this book introduces 2nd Training methods to enable al...
Deep democracy, the inherent importance of all parts of ourselves and all viewpoints in the world around us, is introduced as the concept that fascilitates conflicts in relationships, communities, and the world. Skills and attitudes needed in situations of chaos, attack, transformation and conflict are provided, and examples from all over the world illustrate the theory.
Deeply understood, democracy is more than a formal institutional framework for which America provides the model, acting as a preferable alternative to the modern totalitarian regimes that have distorted social life around the world. At its core, as John Dewey understood, democracy is a realistic ideal, a desired and desirable future possibility that is yet-to-be. In this period of global crises in differing cultures, a shared environment, and an increasingly globalised political economy, this book provides a clear contemporary articulation of deep democracy that can guide an evolutionary deepening of democratic institutions, of habits of the heart, and of the processes of education and social inquiry they support them.
Bridging the gaps between depth psychology, somatic psychology, spirituality, and energy-based mind-body practices, "Dreambody" is the foundational introduction to process-oriented psychology, by its founder Mindell, an MIT physicist and Jungian analyst.
Arnold Mindell introduced Process Work as a new scientific paradigm where the observer and an observed event are entangled in a dreamlike way that shows how dreams, body experiences, relationship dynamics, and synchronous phenomenon are part of a unified field organized by process. River's Way creates a practical methodology that bridges psychotherapy, medicine, quantum physics, mythology, and indigenous cosmologies; addressing a broad range of human experience.
Arnold Mindell, Ph.D., shows how working with power, rank, revenge and abuse helps build sustainable communities. Mindell is the co-founder of processwork and author of numerous books, including "Quantum Mind" "The Deep Democracy of Open Forums" and "The Leader as Martial Artist". He has appeared on national radio and television and works internationally with multi-racial and highly conflicted groups.
Accompanying groups professionally, Discovering potential, Enabling implementation Facilitation is the art of building contact, focus and binding commitment in groups. Facilitation provides spaces for dialogues in which fresh thoughts can be developed and decisions can be made that are supported by everyone. This way profound change processes become possible. In this concise manual, Jutta Weimar provides a compact, systematic overview of what is important for facilitators in practice to achieve exactly this. She describes both methods and the fundamental attitude that are essential for mobilizing collective intelligence, getting processes up and running effectively, and anchoring them sustainably. This opens up spaces in change processes in which all participants can become more involved. The guide provides plenty of practical examples from Jutta Weimar's wealth of experience, especially in relation to the international quality guidelines, provides support for practical implementation and also shows how other methods can be effectively incorporated as well.
