An experiential conference in the Tavistock tradition designed to
enable members to extend their awareness of group and organizational
processes and of their participation in them.  The method is learning
through experience and reflection.  The design of the conference is
based on the assumption that by examining and interpreting experiences
within the conference institution, members will be enabled to enlarge
their understanding of their own institutions and their roles in them.
