The history of now
creating meaning (in the present moment)
an in-person group relations working conference
28 November - 2 December 2022
In recent times, interconnected and rapid changes related to the pandemic, climate change, war, and politics, have resulted in complex, global crises. Now, more than ever, we need to learn about the dynamics of leadership and authority as we confront the profound, existential dynamics of today’s interlocking problems.
What have we learned from our experience?
How is it changing the ways we think about leading, relating, and managing?
How might we bring this learning into our workplaces?
This conference is for individuals and organisations who would like the opportunity to explore how their experience has changed and is changing their understanding of leading, relating and managing.
The conference fee includes morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea each day, and dinner on Tuesday 29 November and Thursday 1 December.
While the conference is non-residential, we strongly encourage you to stay on site and immerse yourself in the conference experience. The rate is AUD$120 per night and includes a continental breakfast.
