In Module 2, I came away thinking: “Wow… I’m such a joiner.”
In iGOLD Module 3- Cape Town, I left thinking: “Oh. Maybe I’m not that much of a joiner after all.”
A lot happened in Module 3. Between the hiking and jumping into the freezing Atlantic at Clifton Beach, we continued our Site Visits- observing and intervening in real organisational systems- and started learning Dyad Work, which means intervening at the two-person system level. That really stretched me.
I’m very comfortable intervening at the 1:1 level. But working with two-person dynamics is a different beast. It’s confusing, subtle, and still a steep learning curve for me.
The deeper theme of Module 3 was Resistance.
Specifically, my own resistance to being the one who stirs the pot when the system needs it- risking being rejected or spat out by the group.
It brought my tendency to retroflect into greater focus and asked the following uncomfortable question:
Am I willing to name what I see, even if the system isn’t ready to hear it?
A key moment came during my final Total Learning Community intervention. I took the risk of being a little disagreeable and named something I was noticing about the system. It was a wee bit clumsy… but the system managed to take it in.
A moment of growth for me, methinks.
For my astrology audience- this work deepens how I see projection, resistance, and the things that remain unnamed in groups and relationships. The same patterns we read in charts that show up 'live' between people in the here-and-now.
Takeaway: Module 3 asked me to tolerate discomfort, hold authority in the moment, and be willing to say the thing that hasn’t yet been said.
And those muscles make me better at holding groups, workshops, and client spaces.
Grateful to my cohort for the learning and the friendship. 🙏
