PHANG
Portland Here-and-Now Group (Also in West Philly, PA)
Monthly
NE Portland (address given upon registration)
6:00-8:00pm EST
PHANG is a monthly, experimental, in-person “Here-and-Now” group in which we explore what’s emerging among us for two hours once a month. Anywhere between 3 and 12 people will gather to mindfully explore through discussion, emotional and somatic exploration, movement, journaling, meditation, and other artistic practices. The group will most closely resemble Psychodynamic Group Therapy, but this group is not therapy and the intent is community building and experimentation. The structure will riff on and borrow from practices including Tavistock Group Relations, Process Work, Authentic Movement, Authentic Relating, Psychodrama, Internal Family Systems, and Circling, and other artistic & movement practices. You need not be familiar with any of these to participate, nor does the group require any special preparation.
When? First Thursday of the month 6-8pm (plan to arrive strictly on time), with pizza optionally from 8-9pm
Where? NE Portland (in St Johns), exact address a day or two before
What’s the cost? $5 to participate, + $10 if you want Gluten Free pizza. Send these by Venmo @deepplayinstitute or Paypal [email protected] by the Tuesday before the event to secure your spot and your GF pizza.
