A Workshop on Sociometry, In Action, Online – 

In this two-hour workshop, I will demonstrate how I use sociometry to get people to connect with each other, and to warm them up to work in action. It will not be a lecture, but it will be both experiential and interactive, and will address the needs of the group in the here-and-now. Arcane terms, such as tele and group energy will be pointed out. Similarly, if there is a chance to move the narrative into action, this will be demonstrated, not just talked about. While adapting this work to the screen has similarities to working in-person, the great advantage of working remotely is that people can join from anywhere with WiFi. This is especially valuable for those of us who work internationally.

Objectives:
Participants in this workshop will learn:
1. Group building techniques based on sociometry
2. Deepening the affect, through doubling and role-reversal
3. Transforming the narrative from talk to action
4. Avoiding fruitless political and divisive conversations
