The International Human Element® Update and Encounter
Details:
The International Human Element Update – Hosted by Business Consultants, Inc. (BCon) Japan
We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming International Human Element Update, which will be held October 18-21, 2023, at the Tarrytown House Estate in Tarrytown, New York, just north of New York City. We are looking forward to seeing you! This will be our first face to face meeting in over three years due to the pandemic and it will be a great opportunity to come together as a global community and see old friends (and make new ones!).
This year’s event promises to be an exciting and informative one, with sharing and discussions around the latest developments of the work from around the world, and to uplevel as both a practitioner and business leader. It also serves as a mean to exchange success stories using The Human Element.
The event will begin with a welcoming dinner at 6pm on Wednesday, October 18, followed by 2.5 days of informative presentations, discussions, and experiential sessions led by team of experienced LHEPs and Master LHEPs. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and refreshments will be provided throughout the day. The Update ends with lunch on Saturday, October 21.
Encounter – Hosted by The Schutz Company
Will Schutz wrote that Encounter is “…understanding the self through encountering other people.” It is a mode of human relating based on openness, self-awareness, self-responsibility, awareness of the body, attention to feelings, and an emphasis on the here-and-now. Encounter focuses on removing blocks to being fully alive and creates conditions for a more satisfying use of personal capacities and for improving the quality of life.
Encounter is the essential core around which Will Schutz developed The Human Element®. With its origins in his pioneering work in T-groups at the National Training Laboratories (NTL) in Bethel, Maine and his experimental work at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, it is the ultimate personal growth and leadership experience.
A wide variety of methods are used in Encounter, including some borrowed from other approaches and many devised spontaneously to meet specific situations. It will deepen your skills in helping groups interact more effectively and create more effective work cultures and will greatly expand your capacity to help people in organizations through change.
Arrival is at dinner on Saturday, October 21. The Encounter itself is from 9am-12noon, 3pm-6pm, and 8pm-10pm each day from Sunday, October 22-24, and 9am-12noon on Wednesday, October 25. Lunch is provided on October 25.
