Friday at Temenos

Spent the day in Temenos thinking about the challenge of recruitment in a recession and what we stand for as an organisation.

Gets me thinking about the counselling world and what motivates to be in this industry and what I am looking for Temenos to be, what environment I want us to aspire to.

And I keep coming back to my desire for there to be space in the world to be free, and to grow in relationship and to learn in a way that both challenges and inspires me ...

Much profound thinking going on!

And as I am writing this I am realising I haven't been keeping the blog up to date, there has been so much going on over the summer, not least of which has been moving premises! If you get a chance please take a peek at our new ‘Temenos Location’ page on the website, you can see pictures of the training room, library and kitchen. So important to know where the kettle is :)

The Counselling Studies students are back after the summer with Clare Raido and we have also begun our Post Graduate Supervision course led by Colin Lago. We will be starting the Foundation year in January and are getting the word out as best as we can about our introductory days. If you know anyone who might be interested in training with us please point them to our website!

There has also been exciting developments in our CPD programme, Colin Lago and David Rose have agreed to come to Livingston to deliver their workshop ‘Mistakes’ in Psychotherapy and the evening before will offer a lecture/discussion that will also be available to watch live online via the onlinevents.co.uk website. In just a week 50 people have signed up for this online experience, we are really excited about the possibilities opening up to us here! If you haven’t seen the details of these events please visit our new “Workshops at Temenos" page.

In preparation for the event Colin and David participated in an interview about their experience in the field that has led to this workshop, if you get the time to watch the interview I am sure that you will enjoy what they have to say about ‘Mistakes’ and just how much fun they have working together.

There is more news that we hope to be able to share with you shortly, and will keep everyone posted with our shiny new mailing list host mailchimp.com, if you aren’t on our mailing list and would like to be, please use this link.

Warm wishes
