"Dynamic Spatial Anchoring and Repatterning Workshop"

By Panos Lazanas, University of Johannesburg, South Africa

 

 

Introduction

Writers like Dreyfus have eloquently pointed out the limitations of Web based communication (see his book, “On
the Internet”). This mode of communication is usually confined to the visual and audio sensory channels and its
content is mostly information based conveyed in conscious mind terms, which usually exclude the richness of true person
to person communication. Deep human interaction includes other subconscious elements, which arise from the
physical presence of the other person (body language, facial expressions, a sense of presence etc.). Thus Internet
based communication may lead to a sense of isolation and a limited depth of experience.

The Alternative

In this workshop a new language will be revealed /co created such that deep personal experience can become available
to conscious processing which then can replace or be added on to the usual conscious mind expressions which
constitute web based interaction.

Content of the workshop

The technology of Dynamic Spatial Anchoring and Repatterning will be introduced by means of demonstrations and
exercises. The workshop will be conducted in an interactive manner so that the participants will be able to access
their subconscious experience right away.
Further, the language required to make subconscious experience conscious and share it with others will be created.
The group will then collectively develop new ways of communication using the internet platform, leading to a sense
of personal expansion and depth of experience transcending current limitations and separation boundaries.
The following will be introduced in the workshop:
The “Structure of Intuition”, “Spatial Representation of Experience”, different ways of perceiving, direct access to
sub conscious states bypassing conscious interpretation, a new language of expressing inner states, communication
of meaning instead of information, feedback by means of sharing an experience, inner listening, application of the above
to web based communities.

Participants

This workshop is for anyone who is interested in the enrichment of web based community and communication and
who wishes to overcome the inherent boundaries of the internet medium as well as expanding and deepening
personal experience. Researchers who wish to take these ideas forward and discover new applications for the technology
are particularly welcome.

The Facilitator

Panos Lazanas is an Electrical Engineer, Cognitive Psychologist and an International NLP Trainer; he currently works at
the University of Johannesburg. His field of research is the investigation of the subconscious structures of expertise and
the factors, which enhance it or inhibit it. He has presented his work in conferences in the USA, Europe, China and
South Africa where he lives.
