Cultivating physis in education

This workshop introduces a conceptual model for education centered on the dynamic interplay between autonomy and homonomy as core expressions of physis—the inherent human drive toward growth, development, and self-realization. Developed by the trainer and featured in an upcoming book on Educational Transactional Analysis, the model offers a practical and reflective framework for understanding learning as a relational and systemic process. Drawing on Transactional Analysis, participants will explore how awareness, spontaneity, intimacy, and shared responsibility are cultivated within educational contexts shaped by group dynamics, culture, and structure. Through an experiential approach, the workshop invites practitioners to examine how learning environments can support both individuality and interdependence, fostering conditions in which authentic development can emerge within the ongoing relationship between self, others, and the wider world.
