Lena Aslanidou is a Social Worker and a Certified Process Worker. From a young age she was interested in human experiences, remembering herself spending hours under a bush in her back yard and contemplating life. She doesn't know if the content of those thoughts were important, but she remembers a sense of euphoria and calmness, a sense she is still looking for as a guide in life. As a teenager she did volunteer work with groups of children with special needs.

Her first quests led her to study Social Work at the University in Athens, and later be trained in General Systems Theory and its Applications on Human Sciences at the Athenian Institute of Anthropos. After completing her studies she worked with pre-school children and later on as a councilor for families and individuals at the Psychiatric Department of the General Hospital of Athens.

She first came across Arnold Mindell's work and Process Work in 1990. This was an important moment in her life because, for the first time, she found an organized system of thought, which could be applied to all issues of human experience, political, psychological and spiritual. The enthusiasm of this discovery lead her to Portland, Oregon, to study Process Work.

Since 1997 she has returned to Greece, where she works in private practice. Her main interest in working with people is in accessing the sense of freedom from which each person can express their wholeness, and the connection of the spiritual dimension to everyday consciousness and life.

Lena loves her times of solitude and nature is her true home. Lately, in addition to exploring her relationships to people, she is also exploring her relationship to animals, spending a lot of time with her beloved dog, Athina.

During her stay in Oregon, USA, she participated in the staff of the Intensive Course in Process Work, as well as the Extreme State Clinic (focusing on extreme states of consciousness), the Lava Rock Clinic (focusing on body symptoms), Worldwork and Conflict Resolution Seminars, organized by the Global Process Institute.

In Greece she has worked together with the following organizations: Athenian Institute of Anthropos, Athens University, Law School of Athens, 'Volunteer Work' (NGO working with refugees and minorities), 'Arsis' (NGO working with youth-at-risk and adjudicated youth), Dramatherapy Center, Greek Red Cross, Center for Women's Studies and Research 'Diotima', 'Sxedia', Greenpeace, National Foundation of Youth, as well as the Ministry of Education.

Lily is a founding member of Process Work Greece, and a faculty member of the Graduate School of the Process Work Institute in Portland, Oregon, USA. She works in Greece and internationally as a process worker, process work trainer, facilitator, and organizational consultant.In Process Work Lily found a paradigm that views process as the Teacher; a paradigm that values all experiences and finds treasures hidden in the most troublesome of them. She is passionate about applying Process Work concepts, ideas and methods as she attempts to stay with, and focus on, the various tensions and difficulties that appear in everyday life, making space for the potential gifts they carry. Areas of special interest: worldwork, open forums, teamwork, coma work, panic attacks, creativity, dreams, body symptoms, relationships.
