This 2-session workshop will explore the ever evolving and unfolding; art and practice of what we call Inquiry. So often people come to their mentors with a question: how do I do Inquiry?” There is one word that pops out- the word- do. Implying the idea that there is a “doing“ to inquiry. We will explore how we can move from our doing mode to truly being with another person in the moment. This is where we will start building awareness of the scaffolding of inquiry and how we move to what is alive in the moment in the relational field.
