Attachment Conference: Schedule

Genetic Alliance offers two tracks woven into the EMU Attachment Conference. The full EMU conference schedule can be found at http://www.emu.edu/attachment/schedule/.

Leadership Track

Genetic Alliance is a system committed to transformation—of individuals within its community, the organization and its relationships with other organizations, and the world. We have discovered over the last eight years that transformation requires leadership at multiple levels and that it begins with one’s self.

This workshop is one more opportunity for us to create the space for profound change in us as individuals, organizations, and communities. Attachment theory is based on relations and typically involves asking the core question, “Will you be there when I need you?” From this starting point, we will challenge ourselves to discover even greater personal and leadership capacities within ourselves.

The Leadership Workshop is open by invitation. To participate, please fill out the Leadership Workshop Application.
