We will present our experience of running an experiential group based on the method
of Biosynthesis, realized both online and in person from 2020 to 2022 (seven courses with a total
of 68 participants) for students and employees of Charles University. As leading the group was
not intended as research, the article is formulated as a case study complemented by a qualitative
analysis of data from the fi nal anonymous evaluative questionnaire. In the introduction, we
will present biosynthetic psychotherapy as an integrative psychotherapeutic school combining
psychodynamic, humanistic and body psychotherapy elements. The following section describes
the specifi c format of the group and how it differs from group therapy: creating a safe space;
structure of the meetings and methods of biosynthetic groupwork (moderated discussion, body
work etc.). The next part describes the target groups, the team, examples of the discussed topics.
In the last part, we will present the gains and challenges that the group brought. The main
benefi ts of the group were self-knowledge, the possibility of sharing and connecting with other
participants. The participants positively evaluated the activities, discussion topics and group
facilitation, but had reservations about the organization. The main challenges are refl ecting
on emerging group dynamics and good group composition. The biosynthetic group represents
a benefi cial format for students, with and without specifi c needs, as well as for staff, while the
benefi t for Ukrainian students is questionable. Our results are only preliminary in nature.
