The ISN network was first established in 2012. The intention behind it is to provide a relational container for supervision and supervisors. The work – be it the client, the customer, the team or the organisation is held by the supervisors. They in turn are held by their body; someone at their back. We human beings flourish when we have someone at our back. We are relational; we aspire to connection, empathy, communication and learning.
You can join as a dyad or a supervisor group or look for new members or look for a group to join.
As the result of several things including the pandemic (as we used to meet face to face) and its being held together by a website which we no longer have a manager for we need to reactivate it an see if it can be of service to supervisors of all walks of life and work. So we are putting on two 2 hour workshops to engage with this.
