Full Description
For Robin Shohet and his co-contributors to this book, spiritual practice may be defined as the awareness there is something more to human existence than just us, as separate individuals. A spiritual perspective enables us to make deeper connections with ourselves, and accordingly with each other. We move from the finite game - that of measuring results and outcomes - to the infinite game, where creativity and new possibilities can emerge. In so doing, we transcend what Shohet argues is socially conditioned, fear-based separation from each other and everything around us. And this too is
the role and purpose of supervision, as explored in this book. Shohet brings together
essays by counsellors and coaches from a diploma course on supervision as
spiritual practice. Contributors write with brave honesty and vulnerability
about their journeys; how they came to embrace a state of not knowing, making
space for greater depth and connection in the supervisory relationship which
can translate into all relationships.
