Work by CP's guru Kolb. Note reference to works of Jung: "Jung discovered the universal mandala symbol in many cultures and religions throughout time representing this holistic, dynamic adaptive process. Mandala means circle, an eternal process where endings become beginnings again and again. "The mandala form is that of a flower, cross, or wheel with a distinct tendency toward quadripartite structures." (Jung, 1931, p.100) It often represents dual polarities, the integration of which fuels the endless circular process of knowing.

CP website www.commonpurpose.net quotes “(CP)Uses brain-washing techniques?” No. Common Purpose programmes use experiential training techniques and a set of conventions to promote mutually respectful behaviour among all participants. There are no tests. There are no brain-washing techniques. There is no coercion. No programme participant is required to complete a programme if they elect not to do so or to have any continuing contact with Common Purpose should they wish not to do so once the programme ends.
