Steve and I will explore the supervisor relationship from the perspective of the we/the co created nature of relationship; the notion of separateness and the other that is the unconscious bias of our individualistic and hierarchical western perspective . Our conversation with each other and the participants will weave its way around this focus and we will refer to a poem by Adrienne Rich ‘In those years…’ that we see catching some of the paradoxes dilemmas and mysteries of all of this
