Seminar: Social Dreaming
This seminar introduces the theory behind social dreaming and offers a 'taster' of it as a socioanalytic method. Social dreaming is concerned with dreams and their meaning for social systems—conducted in a matrix rather than a group, where members present dreams, associate and connect to them, and discover new thoughts together. The session will be conducted by Professor Susan Long, who has worked with social dreaming for over 30 years.

Seminar: Use of Drawing as a Socioanalytic Tool
This seminar explores the use of drawing as a socio-analytic tool in working with individuals and groups in organisations—giving form to experience that is often difficult to articulate, particularly the emotional and unconscious dimensions of organisational life. Participants will learn the theoretical underpinnings and applications of drawing in socio-analysis, and experience the method directly.
