Process Arts
Welcome!
This is a living story of the process arts. Processes can relate to the individual (such as meditation), interpersonal dynamics (for example Nonviolent Communication), group processes (e.g. Open Space, World Cafe, unconference and wiki), on up to very large scale systems, such as economic, legal and political structures (e.g. Threebles, restorative justice, Citizen Deliberative Councils). Even more than a list of particular processes though, the process arts are about an awareness that however we are doing something, that is simply one particular way, and we can and often do experiment with doing it any number of other ways.
Another way of seeing into the process arts is to understand the patterns that underlie processes and the general process consciousness, and put together a pattern language. Some of us have started meeting in person to develop a Pattern Language of Processes / alive meetings / conversations that matter. We may use this wiki to support this ongoing exploration.
The three kinds of things here so far are Processes, Patterns and Users. They are always listed in the sidebar to the right.
This site was seeded with the NCDD wiki (and that is the old home page from that wiki).
