What is Living in Process?
Living in Process is a way of living in the world that was pioneered by Anne Wilson Schaef in the late 1970's. It is a spiritual path out of the addictive society in which we in the Western World all live.
How did I find Living in Process?
I have been in recovery for chemical dependency for 16 years. In 1993, I discovered that I could not manage the complexity of my emotions and I was introduced to Anne Wilson Schaef's work in a group setting. In 1996 I attended my first Living in Process Intensive which is a 4-7 day retreat where we talk about our lives and have the opportunity to stay with our feelings and rest. In my first intensive I had the space and support to start to heal from the traumas in my life (most of which I learned I had created!) I began to develop the skills to feel my feelings without judgement or trying to control them. What a gift!
I joined the Living in Process Community in 1997 and again in 2000. Being in the community has again allowed me to experience a depth of myself I have never known. We are all on our own spiritual path and I find great friendship and kinship with my fellow travellers.
Anne Wilson Schaef:
When I met Anne Wilson Shaef for the first time, I felt like she knew who I was and I felt an amazing amount of love and acceptance. The more time I have spent with her, the more I have received the gift of knowing myself better.
