Experimental retreat and workshop using the deep adaptation framework

The study presents the methodology and experience of an experimental retreat and workshop addressing the four questions of deep adaptation, where we combined the supervisory work method with art therapy tools. The goals of “Mélylevegő” retreats and workshops were, and still are to reach, involve and support as many people as possible in the process of thinking about deep adaptation and then in the nascent small community solutions. According to the group leaders and participants the developed methodology functioned well, however we were not able to plan community actions. This requires more settings, processing of the feelings and thoughts of the participants. The study contains the responses given by the participants to three questions (out of four) of deep adaptation.
