Alan is a counselling psychologist and educator. He works in private practice as a therapist working with individuals, couples and in training and clinical supervision of professional practice. He is involved in research in counselling efficacy, grief, loss and trauma and the impact on relationships.

Amy is in private practice in Portland, Oregon and teaches with Arny in many countries around the world. She has written many books and articles, and is best known for her book, "Metaskills, the Spiritual Art of Therapy", which examines the important role of feeling skills in the work of therapists/facilitators.

Amy is also a musician and songwriter, puppet maker, artist, and dancer, and is passionate about exploring the application of process work to these creative modalities, coma work, and the therapist's unique style.

She holds a M.A. and Ph.D. in psychology and is a diplomate of the Process Oriented Psychology Center of Zurich.

Arny Mindell developed process work or what is called today, “process oriented psychology” (p.o.p.), in the mid 1970's. Beginning with Taoism, physics and Jungian psychology, by the 1990’s he expanded process work to include quantum theory and deep democracy, a deeper form of democracy that applied to all states of consciousness for individuals and groups. Now process work applies to individual therapy, body problems, coma and near death experiences, large group, and organizational change management.

Arny is in private practice in Portland, Oregon, and teaches with Amy in many places. He is known for his development of the “dreambody” and “process work” (process oriented psychology). He is the author of 20 books in 23 languages, including Dreambody, The Shaman’s Body, Quantum Mind, Quantum Mind and Healing, and ProcessMind. Arny has an M.S. from M.I.T., was a Jungian training analyst, and has a Ph.D. in psychology. He is also known in the area of conflict management for his Sitting in the Fire and for his integration of psychology and physics, work on dreams, bodywork, relationships, and for interventions in near death situations. His newest work is the ProcessMind, A User’s Guide to The Mind of God.

I am a founder member of RSPOPUK and I was part of the faculty there until 2008, I am at present on the faculty of the Moscow school of Process Work. From early life I've been interested in mystical states of consciousness following an event aged 23. At this time of life I just work at what has to be done or what is called for on a path.

I am a grandmother, wife and mother. I retired from a career as a Secondary teacher in 2000. I have studied Process Work since 1995. I am currently interested in how Process Work and new discoveries in cosmology are linked.

Artist, Art Therapist and Process Worker working with individuals and groups. Special areas of interest are trauma and creativity and the contribution that creativity makes to our sense of meaning and wellbeing.

Ingrid’s guiding inspiration for her life work stems from her history of growing up in South Africa, where as a child, perceiving the injustice around her, she decided early on to devote herself to individual and social change.

Ingrid has spent 40 years of her life exploring various modalities that enhance human potential and growth, all of which contribute to her eclectic style and method in working with others. She has had extensive experience teaching many groups all over the world in addition to being an associate professor at Portland State University, and the National College of Natural Medicine.

Marianne Sinner, dipl.PW, Kunsttherapeutin GPK und Dozentin im Fachbereich Künste an der PHZH. Seit 2004 ist sie im Leitungsteam des Zürcher Instituts für Prozessarbeit IPA und der Zürcher POP-Fakultät. Ein Traum hat sie ca. 1992 aus ihrem langjährigen Dasein als introvertierte Künstlerin gerissen und dazu aufgefordert, in die Welt zu gehen, um mit Menschen zu arbeiten. Was zuerst vorsichtig und eher unfreiwillig geschah, ist ihr mit der Zeit, dank der Ausbildung in Prozessarbeit, zur eigentlichen Leidenschaft geworden. Sie bietet Weiterbildungen und Seminare an, arbeitet mit Einzelnen, Paaren und Gruppen (auch gemeinsam mit ihrem Partner Stephan Müller) in der Schweiz, in Deutschland und Russland. Zugänge aus der Kunst in Verbindung mit Prozessarbeit liegen ihr dabei besonders am Herzen.

I believe that my work is about being a facilitator for people to connect to their own unique nature and access their deepest dreams.

I believe in embracing both darkness and light. I believe there is life, energy and wisdom in our most hidden and forbidden parts.

I believe that encounters with death can awaken us to what is dearest and most important to us in being alive.

I believe that life becomes more interesting, energizing and fulfilling when we allow ourselves to explore all of who we are, our darkest corners and our highest aspirations.

I believe that conflict can lead to intimacy. I believe in connection. Connecting to ourselves, to others, to the spirit that moves us all.

I believe there is a “river of meaning” that runs through our lives and that we can learn to sing its song and dance to its rhythm.

Professionally speaking:

I am an international facilitator, teacher and writer with over twenty-five years of experience in working with group dynamics and personal change processes. I have worked in various countries such as the Netherlands, Israel, the United States and South Africa. Please visit my website for more information.

PW allows him to integrate medicine and psychology into his counseling practice.He is inspired by the stories of clients who struggle to find meaning in the challenges they face by dealing with chronic pain/symptoms, depression and anxiety, trauma, and difficult relationship issues. He believe's in peoples sentient experiences and dreaming nature.

Stan Tomandl, MA, PWD (Process Work Diplomate) and
Ann Jacob, BA Ed, of Coma Communication and Process Oriented Facilitation, have specialized for over 20 years in working with, researching, and teaching about people in altered consciousness: illness, dementia, traumatic brain injury, coma, grief, and other fragile and strong times in our living and dying. They are instructor and student under the mentorship of Drs. Arnold and Amy Mindell at the Process Work Institute Graduate School in Portland, Oregon. Ann and Stan also serve on the faculties of the Sacred Art of Living Center and the Anamcara Project in Bend, Oregon, reside on the Board of ComaCARE in Cape Town, South Africa, and train caregivers around the world.

My main interests are bringing political philosophy and social dynamics together in support of a deeper process of coherent democracy. Deep Democracy Facilitation is a psycho-social-political paradigm and methodology. Unlike political democracy, which focuses on majority rule, Deep Democracy is a multi-dimensional paradigm that focuses on noticing and valueing all available voices, states of awareness, and frameworks of reality. Deep Democracy also suggests that the information carried within these frameworks are all needed to understand and facilitate disturbances in any given system.

I speak Russian, Estonian, English

In 2008 I founded Pathways Psychology Institute, to teach process-oriented counselling; and One Step at a Time Counselling Clinic, both as a social service and a place for trainees to practice & deepen their skills.
These two organisations have recently co-operated to offer Process-oriented Counselling trainings for Indigenous Australians. We just had (February, 2011) our first week long residential, and it was a stunning experience to study Process Work and about their culture, together with 30 plus Aboriginal Australians ...each bringing a wealth of experience.
