Overview

Healing and wholeness in organisations

If we understand healing as allowing all of our parts - including injuries, insecurities, anger and despair - something powerful can emerge from this. These inner states are not only the result of current social and global crises, but also an expression of deeply rooted individual and collective pain that we continue to carry within us.

What this means for organisations is only gradually becoming apparent. However, it is clear that internal conditions and trauma do not remain outside of organisational structures. And it is equally clear that community is needed to integrate this collective legacy - and to enable healing in the first place.

Indigenous knowledge and formats of collective grief work can provide orientation. For us, however, the first step begins with an opening within the organisation: a conscious „this concerns us“ and the question of how a community can be created among employees that is concerned with healing.

This idea is daring - perhaps the most daring after our labs on „New Thinking“ and „Listening to Each Other“. This is precisely why we invite you to move it together. Because we experience time and again how much creative energy is released when pain, grief and helplessness can be named.

Joanna Macy formulates it like this in her deep ecology approach:
„We must first honour our pain before something fundamentally new becomes possible.“

The „Almost unthinkable - healing and wholeness in organisations“ lab concludes the trilogy that we began last autumn. We look forward to your participation.

Kerstin Gollembiewski

Change requires transformation, both internally and externally. Kerstin Gollembiewski supports people in this process – in their organisational culture and structure, their plans and their very being.

Since 2020, she has been working as an independent process facilitator, trainer and researcher. Her heart still beats just as strongly for peace and human rights work, in which she has been active worldwide for 20 years, as it does for social transformation ‚on her doorstep‘ in Hamburg. Supporting organisations in their internal development is part of this.

In her work, she often focuses on the ‚less visible‘ or less prominent aspects of the dominant narrative and the elements that we (perhaps) long for, but which seem to have no place, or even seem out of place. And she firmly believes that we must relearn how to live together – including our relationship with the ‚more than human‘ – and that it will be important to have the courage to venture into the unfamiliar.

Her methodological passion lies in narrative work, as developed by Chené Swart, and working with micro-stories, process work according to Arnold Mindell, and playful, creative approaches inspired by Rob Hopkins.

As part of the SOCIUS team, Hannah supports organisations during periods of change and transformation. When structures are being rethought, leadership principles questioned or other major transformations initiated, she creates spaces where people can embrace uncertainty, courageously try new things and learn without fear of making mistakes.
