Sharon Weil talks with Adam Wolpert, painter, permaculturist and group facilitator about the moving patterns of relationship in nature, art, and group dynamics. As one of the founders of Occidental Arts and Ecology Center, Adam holds a fascinating, holistic perspective. “Every form tells a story,” Adam says, “the relationships are expressed by the form." When it comes to group dynamics and finding agreement, it is necessary to look to the recognizable patterns while at the same time allowing the unexpected to emerge. Creating the unique and particular map through any reorganization or conflict requires deep listening, an embrace of the constant movement of Change, and finding the forms that can serve. Find out how Adam Wolpert does it!
