In this workshop we will tell the story of our own bicultural encounter(s) and explore our reflections and learning from coming together to discuss how we might facilitate bicultural encounter groups.
The workshop will comprise: our own accounts, our thinking about this with reference to some of the literature on encounter and concepts from te Ao Māori; and facilitated discussion. We welcome all participants to come along and share your own reflections on bicultural encounter(s).

Organisation
The World Association for Person-Centered & Experiential Psychotherapy & Counseling had its genesis in the mid 1990s after person-centred theoreticians and practitioners felt there was not an adequate representation of the PCA at the First World Conference on Psychotherapy (WCP) in July 1996.
Nearly 25 years since it was officially formed, our desire remains to be an identifiable, international organization serving as a world-wide forum.
