Belonging, "Otherness" and Mutual Co-Creation: An Art-Infused Experience of Erving Polster’s Life Focus Community and How You Can Develop One
September 21 2016
AAGT EAGT International Conference
Taormina Italy
The Life Focus Community developed by Erving Polster
creates common ground to explore our lives, amplifying self-other contact, and Intersubjective meanings. With art-infused conversation, music, poetry and more, these on-going gatherings explore co-creation of meaning in deep listening and experiential activities. Moving beyond confines of therapy, Life Focus Groups spark awareness of contact, freshly amplifying the experience of otherness, commonality, and richness of the lived life. Attendees will experientially explore the concept envisioned by Polster, with Caroline Paltin, who has worked closely with Polster in development of an ongoing Community. The primary activity will be a live demonstration of Life Focus with music on the theme of Belonging and Otherness and an experiential led by Marilyn Lammert exploring utilization of Life Focus in our lives.
