Karma, Ego States & Life Script - A Hypothesis with Susan George, PhD, TSTA-P

People are born in different contexts and with different abilities – physical, mental, emotional, financial status, family, community, religion, education etc
Why these differences?
Who causes it?
Are we helpless in the ...
face of destiny?
Why do different children make different decisions in the same situation?

This event provides a space to explore these questions by looking at Life between death and new birth using concepts from Indian Philosophy & Anthroposophy like types of Karma, Purushartha and the four-fold body and connecting it with Physis, Protocol and a new model that goes beyond the third-order ego state model to include the collective soul energy and the Universal Consciousness.

Transformational Team Coaching

The ability to create a coherent team out of a group of individuals is one of the core competencies of managers, HRO, coaches, and consultants.

We will present the ...
four levels of TA team coaching and use these to better understand what interventions are needed to create agile structures, cross-functional cooperation and winning cultures.


FINDING TEAM PURPOSE
Purpose answers the question: Why do you do what you do? What can you do together that you can’t do alone? Through practical exercises, participants will delve into their team story, their customer story and business history.

CREATING A STRUCTURE
A team structure should serve the purpose. By creating clear boundaries, roles, hierarchy and decision-making processes, the team will gain effectiveness.

PROMOTING COOPERATION
Often teams are plagued by disturbing dynamics. By creating more cohesion, interdependency and room for initiative, leaders can increase cross-functional cooperation.

BUILDING A WINNING CULTURE
By identifying key events in the timeline, and creating a winning story the teams will contribute to a good reputation, and a sense of belonging



At the end of the webinar participants will be able to define the key issues and create a high-performance team using TA systemic concepts.

As TA enthusiasts, we all know the impact our script has on us in adulthood. But what if we can positively impact a child’s script while it is being created, ...by using TA to inform the way we parent and/or work with children and parents?

In this panel discussion, we will share our own experience of doing this and discuss the ripple effect we are creating through our work.

If you are a parent, grandparent, care-giver, educator, parent coach or therapist, and have a basic understanding of the core TA models, this is for you.

You’ll walk away with:

A fresh perspective of familiar TA theories.
Practical tips on how to put TA theory into practice as a care-giver or educator.
An invitation to make new meaning of your script while consciously influencing the script of the children you care for, in a positive way.

Host: Kirsty Melmed
I’m your SATAA treasurer and a life coach with 10 years’ experience using TA in my work (on the path to obtaining my CTA in Education).

Panelist: Rythm Aggarwal
I am the founder and director of a small progressive school in Bangalore, India. I engage deeply with all three protagonists of the educational journey—children, educators, and parents.
With children, my work focuses on nurturing the whole human being—developing physical, social, emotional, and cognitive capacities. I believe that learning happens in and through relationships, and this guides my approach across all dimensions of my work.
With educators and parents, my efforts centre on building personal and relational awareness, and understanding child development. I work with adults to help them build relationships with children that are trusting, affirming, and positively challenging. My hope is to support children in growing and thriving within a respectful and connected learning community. I am currently working towards my CTA in Education.

Panelist: Rajeshwari Bharath
I am an educator and a practitioner of transactional analysis for more than a decade. In the past, I have worked with children in the early years as a Montessori Educator and have used TA concepts as my frame of reference. Today, my work is mostly with educators in the areas of self-awareness, pedagogical practices, and curriculum training. I am currently pursuing my CTA in Education. My self-awareness journey began as a young mother, and today, with my children now in their teenager years, I continue to learn alongside them. Having found my own parenting journey empowering, I also conduct parent education workshops in school settings.

Panelist: Nisha Roa

This is the second instalment of our new series of interesting conversations in a relaxed lunchtime moment. Lindiwe Mthembu-Salter will continue the conversation about the fascinating link between TA and ...Logosynthesis. If you missed part one with Diane Salters, you can watch it here.

This hour will offer part two of an introduction to Logosynthesis as a powerful model for healing and development. I have found this approach so applicable to a wide range of intense symptoms. Where I feel pain, hurt or experience difficulties this often indicates where frozen energy is located. Logosynthesis carries a coherent set of theoretical concepts that assists in resolving these places, removing energy that does not belong to you and restoring your energy flow. I will focus on the 4 basic assumptions that:

‘Everything is energy, energy either belongs to you, or it doesn’t, energy can be frozen or in flow and words move energy’. Unprocessed emotions get stored in the body, freezing parts of us in time. Over time this frozen energy builds up and manifest as something else. I will share how I have found these assumptions resonating to TA’s 5 ‘working styles’ of 'be strong, try hard, please people, be perfect, and hurry up’ as we notice them in ourselves, our clients and those around us. I have been integrating Logosynthesis with work on healing limiting beliefs loyally inherited from our ancestral past that we carry as individuals manifesting as emotional imprints passed down from previous generations.

Rewriting the Cultural Parent: Liberating Identity Through Storytelling, Presented by Samhita Arni

How do the stories we tell and re-tell shape the way we see ourselves and the world?

This webinar explores ...
how cultural myths, fairy tales, and folktales shape our personal and collective life scripts, influencing the way we navigate identity, power, and belonging.

Using storytelling and rescripting, participants will engage with different narrative strategies to challenge restrictive narratives and create new, more empowering stories.

About Samhita:
Samhita Arni has been passionate about retelling mythology in current cultural contexts ever since she was a child, and as an adult, has been engaged in exploring the critical ways in which women participate and are excluded from both mythological and historical narratives. She’s produced four books; starting at the age of 11, with The Mahabharata — A Child’s View, which has been published in over seven language editions and sold over 60,000 copies. Sita’s Ramayana, her second book, a collaboration with artist Moyna Chitrakar, was a New York Times Besteller that is it’s sixth reprinting. The Missing Queen was a spec-fit-mythological thriller based on the Ramayana, and her last book — The Prince — is a work of historical fiction set in the time of the Sangam era. The Prince won the 2020 Neev Book award.

Samhita works as a consultant and an educator. She has been training in Transactional Analysis for the last five and a half years — which adds greatly to her understanding of how the stories we tell and retell shape identities and cultural psyches over time.

This webinar looks at the concept of alienation, its origins and its use in TA by the early radical psychiatry group as a way of identifying social disorders as a ...key factor in the presenting problems of clients.

An early proponent of this was Hogie Wycoff, largely forgotten at one point in our history. Recently the concept has been revived by Karen Minikin and Keith Tudor.

Why did this forgetting happen, and why is she being remembered now?

The webinar is aimed at anyone interested in TA and a psycho/social understanding of the difficulties people face.

It will be interactive, questions and discussion being an integral part of it.

Participants will gain:
1 An understanding of the origins and history of the concept of alienation in its original use and its application in TA.
2 A knowledge of the early radical psychiatry movement in TA and what it represented.
3 The application of the concept now in their own lives and with clients.

Bio
Diane Salters, Training and Supervising Transactional Analyst, has been involved with TA, in one way or another for more than 40 years. She has always been very closely interested in the connections between the personal and the political.

She currently practices in the Psychotherapy field, with an international array of clients although she lives in Simons Town, South Africa.

This Webinar invites participants to consider how different neurotypes (differently wired brains) can provide interesting insight as to how we define okness.

Steff and Jo will provide teaching on various ...
aspects of neurodiversity (we all have differently wired brains) and neurodivergence (those whose brains mean that they may require different approaches, have different mechanisms for living in their world).

They will apply this to a TA model of health and pathology and question whether certain TA models are ableist and unhelpful to those needing a different approach.

They offer a psychotherapeutic treatment approach which may also be applicable to counselling, educational and organizational applications.

Participants will learn:

Understanding neurodiversity and neurodivergence and the difference between them.
Links between neurodivergence and how a “Life Script” may be formed.
New approaches to working with Neurodivergence clinically, educationally and organizational consultancy.

In the fast-paced world of business, where efficiency and profits often take centre stage, it's easy to overlook the very essence of what makes it all possible – our shared ...humanity. This workshop will challenge our task-focused perspective on business dynamics and offers Berne’s psychological focus as a measure of connection and autonomy in an organisation.

In an era dominated by technology and automation, it's time to pause and remember that organisations are fundamentally humans in conversation – emotional, intricate, and at times, beautifully unpredictable.

We are interconnected individuals, yearning for recognition, craving structure, and seeking stimulus.
This webinar will demonstrate how responding to the three psychological hungers can revolutionise your approach to relationships, leadership, customer service and team dynamics.
