What does it really mean to be “in process,” or “with our process?” Why is process important? And what are the tools and structures that make being in process fruitful and supportive to our lives? On today’s episode, Process Work facilitator, coach, and consultant Elsa Henderson illuminates the core tenets of this psychological discipline. What emerges is a rich inquiry into the acts of observation and following what we discover to find something meaningful and life-giving.
About Process Work
Process Work is an interdisciplinary form of awareness practice. Developed by psychologist Arnold Mindell, the modality has applications to individual therapy, group facilitation work, and large group inquiry, as seen in the practices of Deep Democracy and Open Forums. Process Work has an international community and following with centers in numerous countries. The Process Work Institute in Portland, OR offers trainings, certifications, and masters-level degrees.

About Elsa Henderson
Based in Portland, Oregon, and Bristol, England, Elsa Henderson works internationally. She is on faculty at the Metavision Institute, a facilitator at Converge for Impact, and Becauz. She holds a BA in Anthropology and an MA in Process-Oriented Psychology, and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Organizational Studies, with a focus on the nature of mind, complexity, and sense-making.
In her work, Elsa moves between the roles of facilitator, coach, and consultant. In each role, her focus is on supporting individuals to cultivate their awareness, reconnect with their inner knowing, and develop their capacity to engage with complexity (life in all its fullness) at the individual and group level. Her work includes 1:1 coaching, team facilitation, leadership development, and teaching. She believes that people are inherently dynamic and hold a broad spectrum of potential. She brings an attitude of curiosity, respect, and care to all her work. When she’s not working, she enjoys running in the forest, reading books on systems thinking, cognitive science, and myth, and exploring new and familiar places. Each of these experiences informs her work.
