Practical
Details for 2025: TAworks is concerned about global warming caused by travel and also individual’s finances caused by global events and have made an ethical choice to create programmes with a mix of powerful experiential learning in 2 day zoom sessions mixed with two in-person intensives in Oxford, UK
Dates for 2025 are: Feb 27-Mar 2 in person, April 4/5, May 2/3, June 6/7, July 4/5, Sept 4-7 in person, Oct 3-5. A weekday programme can also be arranged if there are six or more people who request this.
Process
In the early afternoon there is an invitation to safely reflect on your experience of your different roles between group meetings, plus a focus on our communication in the group, using TA as a framework for illuminating thinking about our experiences, and deciding how we might be and do differently. This is followed with a focus on extending and deepening understanding of specific TA concepts, with practical examples.
Practitioner
The key trainers are Rosemary Napper (TSTA Organisational & Educational; Accredited Counsellor BACP; MA Educational Studies with a TA based dissertation), and Siân Rivers who is a CTA-E who trained in TA Counselling
Additional trainers from all fields will facilitate learning on some Saturdays.
