#201 | Introduction to Systems-Centered Foundation Training for Groups and Individuals
Saturday, Sunday, 9:00 - 5:30
Open to All Levels
Susan Cassano, Ph.D., CGP
Jon McCormick, Ph.D., CGP
Want to discover the experience of SCT? Join us in this two-day intensive workshop as we travel through the first phases of group development. You will learn the SCT methods for moving into the present moment, undoing anxiety, and learning how to connect with yourself and others authentically. In this experiential practicum, members learn to use functional subgrouping and undo defenses to using your common sense to solve problems of everyday life. Open to all levels. Intermediate and Advanced level members will be working in this group as part of their #202 Container training. Read More...
#202 | Container Training
Saturday, Sunday, 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM
Intermediate Level, Advanced Level
Dorothy Gibbons, LCSW
The Container Role is an intermediate step in SCT training between being an SCT member and and an SCT leader. Through this training, Containers learn to develop a Group-as-a-Whole perspective by shifting their focus from joining a particular subgroup to resonating with and containing the apprehensive experience of every subgroup in the group. By developing resonance for every subgroup, the Containers become a resource for any subgroup that experiences difficulty in its development. While the Container Role increases the trainees' ability to resonate, it also increases the trainees' ability to observe the Group-as-a-Whole, noticing the particular phase of development of the group, the impact that each phase has on both the members and the leaders, and the defenses that are modified in each phase. During the Container Processing sessions, Containers will explore their own authority issues in relation to leadership and will explore how the work of the group and their own interventions and reactions relate to the Theory of Living Human Systems.
Although container training is offered during the conference week, the weekend training takes place within the context of an experiential group. This gives containers an opportunity to work within a new system as it develops and to practice their skills within a "nesting" of subsystems-the leader system, the container system and the member system.

#203 | Making a Map of Communication-SAVI: Tracking the Patterns that Matter
Saturday, Sunday, 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM
Foundation Level
Claudia Byram, Ph.D., CGP
Sometimes the more we talk, the worse things get! Using the SAVI map (System for Analyzing Verbal Interactions), we will diagnose common communication binds and undo repetitive communication loops in the support of authentic, noise-free communication in organizations, therapy and everyday life.

#204 | Deepening Your SAVI Skills: Giving and Receiving Savvy Feedback
Saturday, Sunday, 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM
Intermediate Level
Ben Benjamin, Ph.D.
Amy Yeager, BA
The workshop will use giving and getting feedback as the vehicle for deepening participants’ knowledge of SAVI theory, alerts, and strategies. Feedback skills are critical to learning, making decisions, and deepening relationships. Participants will practice giving and soliciting useful feedback; differentiating data from opinions; managing strong feelings in the feedback context; and moving from punishing the past to rewarding what they want. (must have completed some basic SAVI training) Read More...
#205 | Muscular Intelligence: Centering, Containment and Regulation of Arousal
Saturday, Sunday, 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM
Open to All Levels
Merete Holm Brantbjerg
Participants will be guided through a series of psychomotor exercises – introducing the method “resource-oriented skill training” – or “Motoric Haiku.” The exercises are simple to utilize and can support SCT students and practitioners to enhance their ability to develop and maintain centeredness, grounding, containment and regulation of high arousal states.

#206 | An Introduction to SCT and Its Applications in Clinical, Oganizational and Educational Contexts
Saturday, 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM
Open to All Levels
Ray Haddock, MBChB, M.MedSc
Juliet Koprowska, MSW
Lucy Fine, MA, MFT
Irene McHenry, Ph.D.
This day is designed both for newcomers to SCT as well as those who already have some experience. It will introduce participants to the Theory of Living Human Systems and consider its application to a range of contexts, including clinical, organizational and educational. We will explore how the theory, linked with SCT methods, can be a powerful tool for implementing desired changes, and also for evaluating the success of the change strategy.
Participants will be introduced to Functional Subgrouping, which is the distinctive systems-centered method for building a positive group climate, resolving conflicts by integrating differences and enabling productive work to get done. The day will be participative with some experiential working to demonstrate methods.
"An Introduction to SCT and Its Applications in Clinical, Organizational and Educational Contexts" is a new offering this year, and provides introductory content on Saturday that may be taken by itself as a one-day institute, or may be paired with either "SCT in Clinical Practice" or "SCT in Organizational Work," which are offered on Sunday. For increased flexibility, attendees can register for either of these Sunday offerings as a one-day institutes as well. It is recommended that attendees who are new to SCT do not take just the Sunday offering without the benefit of the Saturday introductory institute, but more experienced attendees may wish to do so."

This day will enable participants to explore SCT in clinical practice with particular reference to introducing SCT into public services in the UK and Sweden.

There will be opportunity for participants to explore their own contexts.

This day will enable participants to explore SCT in organizational practice. We will describe ways to build bridges between the complexity of the Theory of Living Human Systems and the concrete everyday reality of a workplace. Building on experiences from leadership training programs and organizational development processes, we will also give examples of how to translate the language and use the methods to make them fit the organizational context. The day will be participative.
