My work/play is shifting cultures toward more power-with ways of seeing, doing and being. How can we help everyone to realize our freedom, fully develop our trust, and manifest what we have to offer, individually and collectively? What do we do from there? One way i do this is by inviting self-awareness of the entire movement of Process Arts, connecting its various networks, communities, perspectives and fields: facilitators, geeks, and many others engaged in particular processes and this general culture shift anywhere in the world. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is one of the best processes i know supporting this shift within and between individuals. Other favorite processes personally include meditation, wiki, and Open Space.
I'm most hopeful when i imagine wide application of and experimentation with Citizen Deliberative Councils (especially Wisdom Council; and in terms of actual action, Citizens' Initiative Review), and more holistic economic systems (Arthur Brock is the most inspiring person i know working in this area, focusing on the wide variety of qualities that different currencies can have, to better model real value flows). Recently excited to learn of Positive Deviance.
Would like to learn more about: Appreciative Inquiry, Provocative Coaching, Enneagram. What else should i explore? Want to learn from essay writers.
