Help Me With My Homework
You may be aware that I am enrolled in a master's degree program in conflict facilitation offered by the Process Work Center of Portland. I would like your help with a homework assignment for one of my classes. In addition to helping me, if you are curious this will give you a chance to find out about some of the things I am learning.
My assignment is this: for me to facilitate a group interaction (or "group process") of six or more people, recording it on video for me to analyze later. The video recording will be viewed only by me and one teacher. At the time we come together, the group will select a topic for us to work later. The video recording will be viewed only by me and one teacher. At the time we come together, the group will select a topic for us to work on.
I need a minimum of six people for the assignment, and I have space for as many as twelve.
I invite you to my house Oakland, on the evening of Thursday, May 19. The doors will open at 7:00 PM, and we'll get started at 7:30. I expect to be finished by 9:00 PM.
Because space is limited, please RSVP. I'll reply with the address and directions.
Please email me if you have any questions about this event or about process work or group processes.
I look forward to participating with you in this exciting and fun event!

If what you're learning is conflict *resolution*, then perhaps it's wrongly named. Or are you actually trying to provoke conflict?
