Focus, experience and interests

Bryce Taylor has been involved in the world of education for most of his adult life. He became interested in whole person learning before he knew the term and started exploring holistic learning in the late seventies. He has tried most approaches as a participant, before taking up facilitating and undertaking long-term training in humanistic education.  In the 1980’s, Bryce was part of the IDHP, an organisation that promoted holistic approaches to education and therapeutic work.

His interest in education and peer based ways of working are now strongly expressed in his interest in forms of collaborative inquiry and all types of inquiry based leaning (IBL). He continues undertaking work in the area of Whole Person Approaches

Bryce writes extensively about the learning gained from his work with people, whether in one to one group or organisational settings, and has had (number) books published.

He has a deepening interest in assisting others to find their own thread of connection to the transpersonal and has facilitated a number of transpersonal events as well as working with individuals on their own ‘inner’ journey.  

His current interests include looking at the possible human – technologies of transformation for the 21st century; interviews with leading figures in individual, group and organisational development and social activism about the prospect for development work in the future. Bryce is taking time out in the spring of this year to undertake a major piece of this personal research. See papers
