Lewis Deep Democracy Level 3+4 (5 days)

with Christiane Leiste

​

In the 5-day Deep Democracy Intensive course we deepen and expand our knowledge of Lewis Deep Democracy. The course includes Deep Democracy Level 3 and 4. The course is a training for advanced students who are either level 1 and 2 or have attended a CoResolve course. We now go deep under the waterline and learn other tools of the fifth step of Lewis Deep Democracy Know: amplification, Polarization and conflict resolution.

We practice moderating and maintaining group processes while maintaining our neutrality in polarized and violent processes to keep the group safe through conflict to lead through to transformation. We also expand our own metaskills a deeper understanding and awareness of ourselves based on the psychological models underlying Lewis Deep Democracy. We refine and deepen the practice. The program is focused on the experiences within the group.
