How’s the Spirit of your Group?
Do you know your organisation?
Is it working for you or against you?
What are its beliefs?
About life, itself, people?
What does it want?
What does it want to avoid?
Recognised or ignored?
How does it get what it wants?
What are its moves?
If you don’t know the answers to these questions, your group spirit is operating in the background and usually in lower mode.
A Being in its own right
Whenever a group of people gather a Group Spirit also emerges.
The brilliant CEO is the one who intuitively lifts an organisation out of the gutter and sets it on a successful trajectory.
How do they do it?
Helen Russ Ph.D has developed a language and a technology to work with the spirit of organisations.
It is described as the Lexion.
Groups – The combined power of human beings
How do we make them an active force that retain their inherent goodness.
Approach
We use some conventional techniques such as in-depth interviews and workshops, but we also use mediation techniques to map the spirit of your organisation and use organisational constellations to show it to you.
This work is completely new. It will change the way you relate to organisations forever. It takes courage and heart as it challenges how we look at organisations and our relationship with them. It will reveal things about your organisation that may have been hidden. It will also bring a language and a technology that enables organisational members to actively and collaboratively participate in the process of retaining organisational integrity in an ongoing manner.
Elements
01
Awakening
An active and conscious relationship between the spirit of the group and the members brings awakening to activities.
02
Vision
When ‘seen’ all life forms have the tendency to return to their true nature. Organisations are no different.
03
Sourcing consciousness
Sourcing enables people to find the core of a situation or problem and bring awareness to the issue. Once seen the issues tend to resolve themselves.
04
Language
Naming the components within the non-physical structure allows organisational members to share experiences and critique activities within a context of overall integrity.
05
Theoretical framework
Resting on the foundations of western thought originally presented by Plato means the structure fits within the boarder intellectual landscape.
Benefits
-
- Recognising the spirit of the organisation is a being in its own right, with desires, psychological wounding, beliefs and structure, brings a profound awakening.
- Recognition that the spirit of the group operates within the laws of intelligible realms removes layers of misunderstanding.
- Recognising the nature, cosmological structure and psychological flavour of the spirit of the group gives people the tools to work with it in an ongoing manner.
- The process changes the way employees feel when they enter the workplace.
- The groups spirit becomes an active supportive player working towards its greatest potential.
If you want a job, or to get a job done; talk to the spirit of the group.
The Process
01
In-depth interviews
A series of in-depth interviews with staff and sometimes clients or customers reveals the inner workings of the organisation from a non-political perspective. The intellectual capital, solutions, ideas and awareness of the threats to the organisation are all held within the collective psyche of members. Listening unlocks tremendous power and awakens possibilities.
02
Mapping the spirit of the group (lexion)
Two or more trained practitioners use meditative practice to align their inner vision with the spirit of the organisation. Over a series of sessions practitioners will map the landscape of consciousness associated with the group. This process reveals the flavour, functionality and character of the non-physical organisation. It reveals the metaphysical scaffolding, the particular energetic moves the organisation makes to get what it wants, its beliefs, psychological wounding and its desires. It also reveals blockages or stagnancy, things that are hidden. If the organisation is the art work, this process is akin to speaking with the artist.
03
Organisational constellations
Family constellations is a process developed by Bert Hellinger in 1978 that has been adapted for organisations. It is a workshop event, where the art of place, order and relationships are used to reveal the spirit of the organisation to staff as a spatial image. This is an experiential process conducted in a workshop style where staff will experience the spirit of the group as a living entity.
04
Reflecting the material
The final phase is where staff are introduced to the technology of lexion within the context of your organisation. The results of the mapping, the in-depth interviews and the constellations are shared and explored to ensure that staff members have experienced the spirit of the organsiation in a way that allows for the development of an ongoing relationship.
