Pluralvision: what it is

A regular three-part live supervision experience for practitioners. Each Pluralvision will feature a specific modality based presentation demonstrated with a live client session – and the opportunity for participants to then take part in their own observed live session.

We have had the idea of a community live and interactive supervision for some time now. Community supervision has the potential to be an accelerated, lively and deeply enriching learning experience, as many eyes and ears bring richness, diversity and collective wisdom that often can be missed by one expert alone. At the heart of the Pluralvision are the voices of the many; we aim to facilitate a tolerant and democratic learning experience for all who wish to join.

The Pluralvision will be facilitated by Doron Levene and Darren Cheek offering practitioners a regular space for live supervision experience aided by the fishbowl model, including time for feedback, using our version of the ‘appreciative enquiry’ system, which will be explained and explored as part of the session.

In this first Pluralvision event Keith Ewing will share with us some core themes from his work with the Internal Family Systems followed by a live improvised therapy session with a ‘real’ client.

The afternoon will be in three main parts:

Part 1: Modality-based presentation and live session

Keith Ewing will share insight into the Internal Family Systems therapeutic process followed by a 30-minute live session with a ‘real’ client. 

Participants will then be invited to observe and reflect on what they see using clearly defined lenses of observation (explained and explored on the day).

Part 2: Participant live session

In the second part of the afternoon we will invite our participants to present a client, and/or themselves as the therapist, to work with their offered/shared material.

The remainder of the group will then be invited to observe and reflect on what they experience during the session, using our ‘appreciative enquiry’ system (explained and explored on the day).

Part 3: Reflective sharing/check-out

To finish the afternoon, we will have the opportunity to reflect and respond to the stimuli of the afternoon – exploring our shared and individualised learnings, insights and experiences.
