Abstract

This study aimed to build a conversational space among participants of a NGO, with the purpose of promoting bonds, collaboration, and dialogue. As a procedure, we held an initial meeting, five rounds of Integrative Community Therapy (ICT) and an interview with each participant. For analysis purposes, we highlighted in the ICT circles: feelings of impotence and anxiety as the most frequent themes; and as coping strategies, religiosity and spirituality. As for the interviews, we organized the remarkable moments into six themes: conversational agreements; interpersonal bonds; new vision of oneself; collaboration and shared learning; playfulness; institutional policy. Our results suggest that the ICT methodology was suitable for our objectives and could be useful for institutions and teams.
