Stanford Siver

Hi. I'm Stanford Siver. I work as a facilitator, coach, and consultant. The core of my work is based in Process Work, also known as Process Oriented Psychology, a paradigm developed by Doctors Arnold and Amy Mindell. Process Work is a wide spectrum, earth based approach to facilitating complex processes and integrates concepts from psychology, political philosophy, quantum physics, organizational dynamics, and shamanism. (See Mindell's works and his forthcoming ProcessMind: the Mind of God in Personal Life and in the World’s Future).

My main interests are bringing political philosophy and social psychology together in support of a deeper process of coherent democracy. Deep Democracy Facilitation is a psycho-social-political paradigm and methodology. Unlike political democracy, which focuses on majority rule, Deep Democracy focuses on noticing and valueing all available voices, states of awareness, and frameworks of reality. Deep Democracy also suggests that the information carried within these frameworks are all needed to understand and facilitate disturbances in any given system.

Deep Democracy facilitation can help business organizations, NGOs, civic groups, families, couples, and individuals develop awareness and the leadership and facilitation skills needed to facilitate disturbances in order to help the collective system find more effective resolutions and sustainable outcomes.

I am also a co-founder and Director of Development of the Deep Democracy Institute, an NGO dedicated to training individuals, groups, and organizations in leadership development, community building, organizational change, and conflict facilitation.
