Accepted Answer

only relate to your personal affairs.
Many people are afraid to discuss controversial topics because they are afraid of conflicts, quarrels and stormy emotions associated with it. In general, we tend to avoid conflicts, and yet the world is full of wars and conflicts.
Group processes can help us deal with very controversial topics and world conflicts.
The best way to prevent conflicts and wars is to get into conflict - but with awareness, says Arnold Mindell, the inventor of this tool. What exactly does this mean?
While working with various groups around the world, Mindell noticed that people often do not express their positions fully and, above all, their emotions and values connected to them. This is why people go on to defend their point of view and cannot listen to other parties. He helped people express their opinions, fears and feelings in full, and brought awareness to what was happening in the group as a whole.
Group processes are held in the spirit of deep democracy and with the help of facilitators.
At the beginning, each person can suggest different topics that interest him / her. The topics are written down, and then one topic will be chosen by voting. The topic with the most votes wins.
During a discussion we often encounter two sides that polarize the given topic. Using the awareness attitude of deep democracy, we try to embody and express all positions and feelings associated with them. Participants can change sides and try out the arguments and values of the other side. Especially expressing what is difficult and unacceptable, strange and contradictory leads to greater insight and a better understanding of the whole. When we go back and forth and try different places, we increase our awareness around the topic and discover that each place has its specific energy, its truth. If we get to know the values, which are hidden on both sides, we can integrate and use them with consciousness in our lives.
