World Work, created by Arny and Amy Mindell, is processwork applied to small and large groups, communities and organizations, international events and earth based problems. It’s been used to address global tensions, war-like conditions, organizational change and a full spectrum of diversity issues around the world including with UN organizations, non-profits and community groups.
Bill Say brings over twenty years of experience to the intersection of diversity awareness training, conflict resolution and community building including work in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. His consulting and training experience is with organizations and community groups in the US and abroad including with UN refugee health organizations in the Middle East and with the Highlander Research and Education Center. Bill has participated in Worldworks since 1992 and has facilitated Worldworks in the US, Poland and Greece. He is a faculty member of the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco and a former faculty member of the UC Berkeley Extension School of Professional Communication. Bill is a Mindell Process Work Diplomate. His website is: www.billsay.com
As well as external forms of oppression such as institutionalized racism, people of color may also face related self-criticism, self-doubt, and issues including depressive moods and low self-esteem: internalized oppression. These processes can impact physical, mental, spiritual, relational, familial and communal well-being as well as one’s sense of empowerment, confidence and pride.
In this workshop we’ll come together to learn, grow and connect with each other. You’ll have the opportunity to practice Innerwork methods to address internalized oppression and co-create group approaches for greater awareness and wholeness.
The Innerwork and group work methods come from Mindell Process Work which has been practiced in many community settings worldwide.
Bill Say, MA, is a Korean Japanese American and Process Work Diplomate. He teaches at CIIS, trains and consults on diversity matters with non-profits and community organizations and has conducted a private coaching practice for many years. His website is: www.billsay.com

Annual Winter Intensive in Process Work
January 20th – February 21st, 2019
Process Work Institute, Portland Oregon
The course offers a unique opportunity to learn Processwork in an intensive format and within an international group setting. The course includes Processwork’s many applications and its most recent developments, and it is designed as an adult learning event. Participants will learn and study together by means of theory, experiential exercises, and group processes. Since the course attracts students from many nationalities, ethnic groups, and religious backgrounds, issues such as multiculturalism, diversity, and community building are part of the learning experience.
Plus, it will be my first time teaching in the Intensive!
