Open Forums are gatherings of 30-150 participants. A forum is an arena for a community or organization to gather. It is a place to debate pressing issues, conflict and build community. Forums gather different players and organizations together. Forums invite and ease interaction among all points of view. Forums provide the possibility for an alternate course, just at the point a conflict might erupt into chaos or people retreat into hopelessness. These points or ‘hotspots’ are where conflict escalates. With careful facilitation, hotspots are also doorways to creative change within community. The emotions, the history and controversial issues fueling these hotspots need focus. Accurate facilitation recognizes people’s interest and abilities to build and care for community.

Dreambody forums link individual body symptom experiences and larger cultural and social issues.

You will have the opportunity to explore your own experience and learn about the social aspects of illness through sharing your experience in a group format.
