Toward Therapeutic Community: Learning Beyond the Theoretical Based on the ideas of a democratic therapeutic community, Mosaic creates a space for individuals interested in the field of mental-health to engage in learning beyond the theoretical. The nature of the space is co-created by those who participate in it, providing an environment where members can break down the dichotomies of traditional teacher-student relations. The purpose is to provide a space for inter and intra personal growth, development and support. Boundaried by time and purpose-oriented sections, members and visitors of the community often explore multiple and interconnected themes of power and in the process create an entirely new learning environment. In this seminar, we’d like to invite participants to gain an experience of what creating such an academic therapeutic community could look like. We will begin and end this session with a community meeting typical to a day in Mosaic. During the session, we will engage in unscripted dialogue among members of the community as we explore a question that has been especially present in our community: of who within us is a ‘staff member’ and the impact of the role. Part of the CCRI First Thursday Seminar Series Email ccri-info@ed.ac.uk to sign up About Mosaic The seminar will be presented by members of Mosaic. Mosaic was originally created in 2017 by the Hank Nunn Institute, an Indian mental health organisation based in Bengaluru, to foster the continued growth and development of their employees. Since then, it has evolved into an academic therapeutic community consisting of individuals who come from different backgrounds and practices. The community meets on a weekly basis, spending the day exploring various themes and engaging with each other in a supportive yet challenging way. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the community has moved online and we currently interact with each other as small boxes of video and audio on a screen via Zoom. This has given us the opportunity to expand our community pan-India, with many new members being able to join in remotely. Over the past year, Mosaic has dealt with a crisis that almost resulted in the end of our community, faced a struggle with our identity, processed the experience of loss and all the upheaval of emotions that come with it. We are now looking to reach out to the academic and therapeutic world around us, so we can connect, learn and continue to grow our practice. Apr 01 2021 16.30 - 17.45 Toward Therapeutic Community: Learning Beyond the Theoretical This seminar will be presented by members of Mosaic, drawing on their experience of being part of Mosaic, an academic therapeutic community.
