Anne
Stadler describes a group experiment in open space organization
over an extended period of six years at the Whidbey Institute
in the Pacific Northwest USA. In addition to the practice of guiding
principles of open space technology, they aligned themselves with
energies of the natural world by the practice of Angeles
Arrien’s Four Fold Way. Anne’s reflections on
how the group was convened and sustained over time, also includes
illustrations of key learnings about collective wisdom. She ends
by describing one of several streams of continuing focus from
that experiment: exploration of what Anne identifies as “the
co-creative conscious collective”.
A
simple request for commitment for action at the Assembly of Leaders,
Parliament of the World’s Religions became part of a chain
of connections and actions with others leading to a significant,
collaborative, world wide initiative. Peggy
Sebera describes The Millionth Circle which introduces the idea
of sacred circles to women (and men) around the world.
