Experiential Symbolic Modeling Workshops

Workshops are run periodically and when sufficient interest emerges. If a workshop you’d like to take isn’t currently scheduled, contact me via email and let me know of your interest.

Mining Your Metaphors

Curious about Symbolic Modeling and Clean Language? Treat yourself to this experiential workshop and get a feeling for what Symbolic Modeling is like. Spend a day exploring a surprising inner you! You’ll have three 30-minute sessions—one verbal, one working from a simple drawing, and one utilizing space. Between your sessions, you may choose to draw, journal, meditate or otherwise use this time for self-exploration. Or you may choose to observe others’ sessions, for further insight into this mind/body technique.

There will be ample opportunity to have your questions about Symbolic Modeling as a process answered, as you explore whether this is a tool you’d like to add to your professional toolbox or to work with as a client.

(This workshop is intended to allow you to experience several modes of working with this mind/body technique, to support self-exploration and self-development and to have your questions answered. It is not intended as therapy.)

Mining Your Metaphors for Twos

Come with your spouse, your partner, your parent or your child (age 16 on up). Come with your business partner or mentor. Come with anyone with whom you have a close relationship. Strengthen your connection as you build skills that will serve you as a couple/pair...and in all your relationships. Working with verbal, simple drawing, and space techniques, you’ll discover new things about your partner and yourself, in fun and creative ways. Experience what happens when you are deeply listened to and how to do that for someone else.
Limited to six pairs.

(This workshop is intended to support self-exploration and self-development. It is not group therapy, and the time should not be used for couples to address difficult personal issues. Those seeking counseling should contact Gina for private sessions.)

Mining Your GROUP Metaphors

When your group is relating ... or working ... or communicating ... or whatever your goal is ... at its best, that’s like what? Like a sports team? An orchestra? A ship’s crew? An operating room team? Having a metaphor that the group has developed together and that reflects all its goals and needs helps make the group more effective. And the process of developing the metaphor is fun and illuminating!

Whether your group is a business/co-workers team, members of a board, a class, a family, or any other kind of group, you all can benefit from your own personal metaphor. Contact Gina Campbell to discuss a designed-for-you workshop.
