Learnings from Hosting "Embodying Collective Transformation" with Karl Steyaert

Karl Steyaert is an IFS Practitioner, NVC Trainer, Therapist,
 Transformational Facilitator, and general change agent.
Together with  Jocelyn Ames, Catherin Tran, and Nadine Helm,
he hosted three  back-to-back month-long “Embodying
Collective Transformation  Residencies” at the Life Itself
Hub in Bergerac France, in the fall of  2022.   


In this conversation, we explore some of the lessons learned from
 running this massive community experiment. It feels like we
only  scratched the surface. Still, there are definitely
some nuggets in  there, including topics like framing an
event like this, being explicit  about the purpose of any
gathering, the nuanced challenges around  leadership that
come with shifting roles during an event, how living
 together in a close container produces a lot of learning
material for  personal growth and how inner and
interpersonal work relate to the  “world work”.
