| The ‘Basic Encounter Group’
is a concept originally adopted by Carl Rogers to identify encounter groups
that operate on the principles of the person-centred approach. |
| |
 |
| These groups offer an
intense personal experience where Rogers believed profound change is
possible: |
 |
“the intensive group experience, the
encounter group – whatever you wish to call it – is, when well managed, well
facilitated, I think, one of the most significant social interventions of
this century. I think it has had – and continues to have – a tremendous
impact… a well facilitated encounter group which relies on the potential
that resides in the group is, and continues to be, a very powerful
experience for personality change, for behaviour change, for laying the
basis for solution of social problems.” |

| This is a unique
opportunity to experience the encounter group as conceived by Rogers and
developed intensively in Japan bringing together people from around the
world to celebrate difference and diversity. At a time when the world
struggles to accept difference, encounter is more relevant today than every.
