This programme introduces ‘Clean Space’, and other aspects of the work of the late David Grove. A renowned therapist, David’s groundbreaking developments in Clean Language and Emergent Knowledge offer profound and powerful approaches that assist people change.
Shaun Hotchkiss and Chris Grimsley – An Introduction to Clean Space
Using edited footage from a 2 day live training, the course explains how we store memory and emotion in space, and body position, and shows how ‘Clean’ approaches assist the client to change without the coach / therapist having to interpret the client’s words.
Clean Space processes are based on an understanding that much of our experience is stored not in language, but kinaesthetically, through body position, and through location and space, and so is not easily accessible via the ‘talking therapies’. Language is only one tool for exploring problems and finding solutions. ‘Clean Space’ processes create optimal conditions to engage people’s intuition through space, location, and body position, in a way that allows movement beyond the ‘problem space’ so that systemic solutions to even intractable issues emerge.
As well as Clean Space, the workshop includes some of the later processes emerging from David Grove’s work. The course will introduce you to:-
Emergent Knowledge and the Power of Six Questions
the Clean Space process
the use of ‘Pronoun Scapes’ to resolve inner conflict and enhance effectiveness
Clean Space through trurning
‘Therapeutic Space’ and the wonderful Whirlygig!
The live training was delivered by Chris Grimsley & Shaun Hotchkiss. Shaun worked closely with David for several years, and practically applies his work as a coach, therapist and facilitator. He and Chris have modelled easily learnt ways of working with Clean Space that will show you how to help people have their own ‘emergent’ experiences.
