The Right Use of Power: the Heart of Ethics
A Two-day Workshop with Cedar Barstow,
Hakomi Institute, USA
About the Workshop
Surprising challenges can emerge in the quest to exercise power ethically. The Right Use of Power is a dynamic and engaging approach to ethics that recognises the complex dynamics that come with positions of influence and authority.
The core aspects of the right use of power include power differentials, intention and impact, power styles, bringing heart to power, challenges and resources, resolving difficulties, self-care and being ethically proactive. These dimensions will be presented didactically and explored through self-study and the gathering of group wisdom.
This experiential course will be of value to anyone in a position of authority, including psychotherapists, social workers, nurses, body-workers, coaches, clergy, doctors, and teachers.
