SUMMARY:Annual Conference - FIRE in the CIRCLE: Leading through Fear\, Desire\, Turbulence\, and Division (Live Online Day)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the EGPS Annual Conference\, November 12-14\, online and in NYC! \nGroups have long been understood as circles—spaces of gathering\, reflection\, desire\, and shared meaning-making. Yet circles are rarely calm or stable for long. At times\, they hold heat: conflict\, urgency\, fear\, and the intensity of difference. In the current moment\, many groups find themselves organized around these very forces\, as polarization\, mistrust\, and social fracture permeate clinical\, organizational\, and public life. \nWhat does it mean to lead when the circle is on fire? \n  \n\n  \nThis conference explores the challenges of leadership in groups charged with anxiety\, division\, and moral tension. Leaders today are called not only to facilitate dialogue\, but to withstand and work within powerful affective currents. These dynamics often contribute to harm and defensive processes such as splitting\, scapegoating\, withdrawal\, and the hardening of positions that foreclose curiosity and mutual recognition. \nAt the same time\, difference—of identity\, experience\, power\, and perspective—remains both a source of vitality and a site of profound strain within groups. How do leaders engage difference without either collapsing it into false consensus or amplifying it into irreparable rupture? How can conflict be worked with rather than extinguished or inflamed? What capacities are required to remain present\, thoughtful\, and ethically grounded when the group itself feels volatile or combustible? \n
