The primary task of this conference is to offer participants the opportunity to explore how awareness of resources, energy and creative collaboration can introduce wellbeing in the organizations to which they belong.

The challenge of the work is to extend the field of attention to the unconscious as it manifests itself by observing the languages of bodies in space, of energy fields, of nature, of context and patterns that connect the parts.

Interdependence and relatedness, essential for any kind of systemic thinking, are explored during the events. Learning is facilitated by accessing individual and group energy and through awareness of the relationships that develop. ECW relates to social context/culture and to nature and the human place within nature. What is nature telling us, what are we telling nature and can the dialogue of human and non-human nature bring blossoming for both?

In present times of climate change, pandemic, wars and deep global crisis these fundamental relationships call for our attention; they will be a focus for the conference.

The conference is open to anyone, from all walks of life, who is interested in understanding groups, organizational dimensions and the evolutionary level found in the social contexts in which we live. Specifically, it is directed at those who would like to sustain existing resources in a better and ecological way and to bring new thoughts and wellbeing into the organizations where they operate. The experience of the conference will allow participants to learn and reflect upon these themes and explore the possibility of creative collaboration towards the realization of a common task, given the limits and the opportunities of the technology.

The conference series emerge from an evolving organization shaped by the collaboration of the participants and of the staff. Learning is experiential and based on the exploration of the here and now. This method requires self-reflection and encourages a free spirit of research and thinking.

The design of the online conference incorporates traditional events of Group Relations Conferences adapted to the task and to the online environment; specific events that explore the language of the arts and of the moving body in space have been developed, such as Vocabulary of Movement, Sound Lines, Dreams Move, Community Event.
