POP Creations Festival is an annual event organised since 2007 by Institute of Processwork in Poland (IPP) in many polish cities and recently also abroad.
We are happy to announce that this year POP Creations are coming to London!
POP Creations is not only a brilliant opportunity to widen your knowledge about processwork, but also a chance to take part in many interesting psychological workshops, lectures, group processes and other attractions.
The partners of this years’ London edition are Processwork UK and Polish Psychologists’ Association.
On Saturday, 24th September we would like to invite you to an introductory presentation about processwork and its evolution, presented by Jean-Claude and Arlene Audergon, founders of Processwork UK. You will also be able to take part in three processwork workshops, run by Sonia Slany, Marta Derecka, Anup Karia and Stanya Studentova.
The day will be concluded with an hour of networking and a film night. Both events are organised by Polish Psychologists’ Association (PPA).
On Sunday, 25th September there will be a set of workshops prepared by PPA.
There will be a small entry fee of £7 for each lecture/workshop (£5 for members of processwork community and members of PPA). The Festival is a non-profit event and all income will be used solely for organisational purposes. Networking and the film night will be free for everyone to attend!

Processwork’s approach to awareness – Welcome and Introduction to Processwork and its evolution
Names:
Jean-Claude Audergon, MSc, UKCP reg.
Arlene Audergon, PhD, UKCP reg.
We will present the history, theory and examples of how processwork is applied – its evolution from working with the relationship of mind-body (dreambody), to working with communication, altered states associated with mental health, remote states such as coma, and working with couples and small and large groups, organisations and communities dealing with collective and current issues entangling people in dispute and conflicts. It will include a ‘live’ demonstration of the work.
What is Processwork?
Processwork or Process Oriented Psychology is in the words of its founder Arnold Mindell, ‚a daughter of C.G. Jung’s analytical psychology’ and has additional roots in indigenous cultures and shamanism, Taoism, and in physics. Processwork has a unifying paradigm, linking its many facets and applications. At the heart of processwork is the creativity of nature. Even the most disturbing processes can carry seeds of an emerging or evolving process. Its theory and methods allow the facilitator to track and unfold systemic dynamics at different levels, intra-psychic, relationship and group.
Applications include working with dreams, body symptoms and illness, near-death experiences and coma, trauma, anxiety, depression, bullying and abuse, working with relationships, teams and organisations, working with communities, and dynamics of privilege and prejudice in issues of racism, xenophobia, gender, sexual orientation, education, economics, language, age and more.

Workshop on Inner critics
Name:
Sonia Slany
20 minute presentation on inner critical figures that haunt us.
70 minutes of process work exercises to explore our relationship to our own inner critics.
These will include partnership work noticing the others critical voice; finding and developing this figure, noticing its quality and using that quality in a different way for a current troubling life issue.
Feedback into the group for 30 mins.
Bio:
Having trained as a classical musician since nine years of age, Sonia has much life experience of this perfectionist critical voice. She was inspired to create this workshop from seeing the damage that music competitions inflict on young people who are plagued by their critics, yet have little understanding or relationship with them. She is an advanced phase two student of Process Work, bringing in her psychotherapy and creative skills to this much needed area.

W poszukiwaniu uśpionej mocy – czyli superbohater we mnie!
Name:
Marta Derecka
Serdecznie zapraszam na warsztat wszystkich, którzy czują, że pragną zrealizować swoje plany, ale z jakiegoś powodu to się nie wydarza. Czasami czujemy, że brak nam energii i siły, by podejmować nowe wyzwania. Niekiedy marzenia wciąż odkładamy na później, bo… brak nam wiary w siebie, bo uważamy, że jeszcze nie nadszedł ten właściwy czas, bo obawiamy się, że nic z tego nie będzie…
A może istnieje sposób, by to zmienić?
Zapraszam w podróż, by odnaleźć swoją uśpioną moc. Tym razem jej źródeł będziemy doszukiwać się w sposobie bycia i życia naszych ulubionych postaci z baśni, filmów i książek, zwłaszcza tych, które porywały nas bez końca w okresie dzieciństwa. Podczas warsztatu postaramy się „ożywić” je na nowo i posłuchać ich wskazówek, a może nawet za nimi podążyć…
Warsztat przeznaczony jest dla wszystkich, którzy marzą o realizacji swoich planów i pragną dowiedzieć się więcej o swojej uśpionej mocy.

‘Body Dreaming’ – Process-oriented approach to working with body experiences
Names:
Anup Karia
Stanya Studentova
The Processwork approach to the ‘body’ is based on the idea that there is a flow of life and wisdom behind body experiences, symptoms and illness. That unfolding these experiences gives us access to vital patterns we need for our everyday life and our future directions. This perspective can open up possibilities to develop a different relationship to our bodies and to the idea of ‘health’ and ‘illness’.
We will present some old and newer processwork concepts and some practical applications in this area. There will be space for both theoretical presentation and some experiential work together.
