Deep Democracy is a set of simple yet powerful tools and skills, developed in South Africa by clinical psychologists Myrna and Greg Lewis, based on Arnold Mindell’s process oriented psychology. At its core, deep democracy is a cutting edge facilitation and conflict transformation methodology that is pragmatic, easily acquired and can be used by people with no psychology training.
The Lewis Method of Deep Democracy provides a new way of seeing situations and the necessary skills to:
• Improve and accelerate decision making
• Gain real commitment and engagement
• Resolve conflict
• Enhance productivity and performance
The Lewis Method of Deep Democracy is in use in over 20 countries demonstrating that DD can help resolve seemingly impossible-to-solve issues, obtain buy in at all levels, and offer a collaborative approach to groups, communities and organizations.
