2 days with Arawana Hayashi at Quinta Ten Chi
July 9th to 10th 2022
We invite you to dive into the wisdom of the body in this introductory course to the powerful practice of Social Presencing Theater with Arawana Hayashi founder and pioneer of the practice. We are honoured to host Arawana’s teaching an SPT basic training at Quinta Ten Chi, as so much of our wrk and development is based on this practice. We feel that it will be also a positive experience for someone that wants to start to deepen the practice to enter a social field that has been shaped by that on the daily basis.
Social Presencing Theater (SPT) is a method created by the Presencing Institute that enables individuals and groups to experience their current reality more clearly and to allow them to move into a saner, more compassionate future.
Description
Drawing on the arts and contemplative traditions, Social Presencing Theater brings to the surface a clearer sense of the relationships, hidden dynamics, and emerging possibilities inherent in a team, organization or larger system. It allows co-creators in a given system to gain insight into the current situation, seeing potential opportunities for change. It sets the ground for creative collective action. “Theater” here denotes an empty stage or a blank canvas where the different aspects and roles of the system can be embodied. In that space, the roles can interact in fresh and creative ways to reveal emerging possibilities hidden in the system. It is “the art of making a true move.”
What this program will provide
Social Presencing Theater is a series of embodiment practices that develop capacity for awareness-based engagement in social and organisational transformation (grounded in Theory U framework).

– Cultivating our social field of relationship in family, teams, organisations and communities
