What is Cross-Professional Supervision?
Cross-Professional Supervision fosters an intentional dialogue between:
Soul – a person’s inner motivation
Role – the demands of a person’s field of work
& Context – the nitty gritty realities which enable or inhibit a person to find harmony between soul and role.
The course takes a soulful and inclusive approach to life and work and invites participants to engage with their own wisdom practices and traditions.
Creativity features strongly in the course and colour, sound, image, poetry and embodiment are all employed in supervisory teaching and practice.
