Workshop 1 : Vincent O Grady

Title:  Unearthing Soulful Presence in Supervision and Palliative Care

This workshop will offer a lens into the journey we desire to make in our Supervision

Practice and in our own personal lives and stories into Unearthing, what does it mean to be a Soulful Presence? It is an invitation into Integration and Soul Living.

Presenter:

He also works as part of the Pastoral Care Team of a Hospice as a practitioner of Spiritual and Psychological Support. In this field Vincent specialises in the area of Soul work, creating a space through creative modalities for Soulful integration to develop and grow. Presently Vincent serves as Chair of the Board of Directors of SAI as well as Membership Services Coordinator.

Workshop 2 Lisa Mulvihill

Title: “Another splinter under the skin” Sitting with shame in the supervisory space

This workshop will create a safe space to look at the origins of shame, the lived experience of shame and how shame shows up in the supervisory space.

We will then explore strategies that are helpful in addressing shame within the supervisory relationship.

Presenter: Lisa Mulvihill is an occupational therapist, supervisor and educator. Her clinical background is in mental health having worked across a wide variety of mental health services. Lisa is particularly interested in complex trauma, attachment, sensory modulation and how we can partner with nature to support mental health.

Workshop 3: Carole Doherty

Title: Being Still, to Know

I am interested in moving beyond reflective practice in the process of Transformational Learning during Supervision. In am interested in how transformation happens at a different level of consciousness, at the ‘non-dual’ level, and how this can inform and support those in the helping professions whose work is largely ‘heart work’. Based on the practice of ‘objectless awareness’ I incorporate a twenty-minute silent meditation during supervision sessions. I give some theory and guidance leading into the silent sitting. This practice is particularly helpful when working with difficult emotions and stressful situations where there is much narrative and analysing with our ‘classic binary hardwiring’. Through research and practice I have found that dropping into this ‘non-dual’ space gives both supervisee and supervisor an opportunity to step outside of the discursive, splitting of the perceptual field and, in that unitive consciousness, find insight.

Presenter: Carole Doherty is a Supervisor, Spiritual Guide and teach of Mindfulness-based interventions who has also previously worked in Social Care.
