Abstract

This study employs a philosophical mode of interpretation in examining an approach to personal formation within a group setting. It argues that notions of finitude, mortality, death, inauthentic discourse and resoluteness are crucial in turning group members towards understanding the roots of their being. Immersion within this process is deemed formative and transformative in itself, especially when awareness of inauthentic modes of engagement is raised and practised. The purpose of this study is to encourage mindfulness of neglected issues (‘who’ it is being called, who it is being formed, for example) and demonstrates, through an exemplar, how turning towards these may bring about personal change within a group setting.
