Deep Democracy is a transformative facilitation methodology designed for anybody who works with groups and relationships. Rooted in insights from process-oriented psychology, it offers simple yet powerful tools that are used by leaders, managers, consultants, social activists, coaches, teachers, parents and others all over the world to improve the way that people work together in complex and turbulent situations.

The real strength of Deep Democracy is summarized in the following offerings:

Collaborative decision making

Deep Democracy goes beyond conventional group decision making processes such as compromising and majority rule. Instead it recognizes and effectively integrates minority voices, thus creating wiser, more sustainable agreements, with 100% buy-in.

Interpersonal and group dynamics

Deep Democracy enables effective interpretation of what is actually at play in groups and relationships. It allows for seeing through what is being said, recognizing unspoken emotional issues that block progress, and suggesting ways to work with them.

Conflict resolution

Deep Democracy recognizes and works with the creative tension that is present in every conflict. It offers a safe way to engage with strong views and emotions, leading to innovative solutions and strengthened relationships.

Whether you are a leader, a coach, a facilitator, a consultant or simply a member of a team – Deep Democracy offers both a set of innovative tools and a world view that will enhance your effectiveness across all dimensions.

Deep Democracy is based on the work of psychologist and physicist, Arnold Mindell, whose concepts and principals have been demystified and adapted for laymen by clinical psychologists Myrna Lewis and her late husband Greg.

On a practical level Deep Democracy is an advanced form of facilitation that can be used in a variety of ways to help both groups and individuals.

The Deep Democracy process differs from traditional problem-resolution techniques and classic (majority wins) democracy in that it doesn't strive for compromise. Instead, it aims to build a real consensus across a group – a consensus which recognizes and takes note of the wisdom inherent in the minority's viewpoint(s), rather than simply ignoring it or overriding it. Different too, from the main emphasis of large group intervention methodologies, in that it focuses heavily on the emotional, rather than rational level and aims to heighten awareness at an individual and group level of the secondary, or unconscious, processes occurring, as these more often than not hold the key to real progress.

Through a highly experiential approach you will gain awareness and experience of group dynamics and decision-making in groups.
