 Arny and Amy Mindell


Amy and Arny have worked for and taught many organizations including the U.N..  They are often keynote speakers at international conferences on therapy, psychology, physics, business, organizational change and conflict work and have been on local and international radio and TV in many countries.

Amy is an artist, singer-songwriter, author, and has developed Process Work in the areas of movement, supervision, coma, and creativity. Her newest book is “Your Unique Facilitator Style.” 

Arny is known for his development of moving from the "Dreambody" to "Process Work" (Process Oriented Psychology). He has written 23 books including Sitting in the Fire, The Deep Democracy of Open Forums, and his most recent book, The Leader's 2nd Training. 

Arny and Amy reside part of the year in Portland Oregon, where they have their private practices and give classes at the Processwork Institute together with many other colleagues. They live part of the year on the Oregon coast where they do residential seminars and watch whales. They are avid researchers, love skiing, running and hiking.

Please see their website for more about them.

In the beginning...     

 

History, for me, is the sum of all histories. In other words, your inner experience plus mine is closer to the truth, than mine alone.

Foundation I Ching
18. Ku / Work on What Has Been Spoiled [Decay]
   
    
On Sunday Feb 28th 1982, the first meeting of an as yet unnamed collective met in Herrliberg, to talk about the possibilities of forming a research organization involved in training and research within the parameters of process oriented psychology. 44 students, teachers, dancers, analysts, and doctors came. Some talked, others listened. Some expressed doubts, hesitations, about forming an organization, while others expressed the desire to move ahead. The I Ching was thrown and number 18 came up, 'Work on what has been spoiled'.
Exert from the letter to participants of the first meeting, quoted in Julie Diamond's presentation at the 1st IAPOP Conference, London 2007 "From RSPOP to IAPOP, 25 Years as a Learning Organization"
   
   
Is it possible that POP has created itself? It has long been an idea rolling around in the collective unconscious and now suddenly POP is a year and a half old. I never thought such a democratic organization could get anything done. The first meetings were filled with all kinds of people with utterly different interests. Then came the statutes. To be an active member you have to attend two of the three general meetings a year. Everyone, students, teachers, friends alike create the research and training program.

FGPOP served as the vessel for training in process-oriented psychology, in Zürich, Switzerland, from 1982 to 2018 when its life cycle was completed, having given birth to a community from which, new forms emerged in its place; currently, the Institute für Prozessarbeit
   

     
            
    
Process Work is you. You are co-creators of it, and what you experience and what you learn from your dreaming, from nature, makes you too, a creator of what we are doing. That is that the feeling that I have. The community of all learners and their discoveries is, for me, the future.

"In the beginning..." continued

When I went to Zürich to study in the early 1980's, I went with some of my friends from Antioch College in the United States. There I found Arny and a community of people who were studying and working together. I think the atmosphere for me was both open-mindedly scientific and extremely experimental. It was full of fun and a lot of experimenting and a kind of hippie-like atmosphere in which we were ready to learn about new areas of research, and new ways to understand ourselves and the world around us. It was extremely creative and exciting. At that time Arny had just published The Dreambody, and he was exploring new aspects of what would soon be called Process Oriented Psychology. I remember exploring our body experiences and their connection to dreams. I remember Don Juan from the Carlos Castaneda books, and I remember learning about altered states of consciousness and movement processes, which I was very interested in at the time. Needless to say, meeting Arny, and the journey that I began at that time, was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me.
