Gather Together

Gather Together is a book for people who convene, facilitate, and participate in group work and processes of collective transformation. The book is a guide to 'hosting the extra-ordinary' and is written to support you to pay attention to the subtle and causal aspects of group work. There are three parts to the book: Part one is called "Atmospheres" and describes the metaphysical space that makes group work possible and transformational.
Part two is called "Foundations" and it describes the six foundations of social process that can help make your experience of group work more stable, resilient, and coherent. Part three is called "Voices" and it describes the conversations that groups need to have together as they participate in rituals of cultural renewal. While Gather Together is written for group work practitioners, it will be of interest to anyone who is leading or working with groups, teams, communities, and organisations.
I hope you find the ideas contained in this book encouraging, nurturing, challenging, and stimulating for you and for your practice.
