VIP (Vintage Independent Practitioners) Group
Christina Breene, Robin Shohet and Joan Wilmot have been meeting for about 10 years. We have all found this group beneficial as it supports our practice at the head, heart and hand level!

Thanks to all who came along to the recent ISN Conference Approximately 18 people attended. The morning was held by Robin Shohet and Phil Turner and the afternoon by Steve Mepsted.

This is an excellent exercise for putting people in touch with their strengths and creating connection and relationship. After hearing from some of the participants we moved into an appreciative inquiry of supervision, again in pairs for 20 minutes each way. The appreciative inquiry form used in… Read More
