Live Sensemaking!
(Explorers & Sensemakers)
On this call we discuss a current cultural or political topic, using many of the skills we talk about on the channel, such as mindfulness, curiosity and the pursuit of multiple perspectives. It is an exercise to make sense of a topic together, and meet others at a deeper level than the purely intellectual.
NEXT SESSION: 22ND DECEMBER
Sara says: “We will learn the theory of facilitative, grassroots group leadership, and then immerse ourselves in the practice. Expect engaging sessions that will ask you to push your comfort zone, while providing a safe space to discover the leader that you want to be.”
14TH/28TH JANUARY
Microsolidarity is a methodology for community building focussed on peer-to-peer support for personal development. We'll be experimenting with relational practices for creating intimacy and insight, and collective intelligence practices to spark new collaborations.
Authentic relating is a set of practical teachings that's most often used to help us develop our relational and social awareness. In these sessions, we'll see how it can also give us tools we can use to navigate cultural and political hot topics. The 4 classes will cover an array of foundational relationship skills and explore how we can apply them to the world around us.
Power and power dynamics are often avoided or ignored even though they show up at every level of social interaction. In this series, we will explore how embracing and working with power dynamics can break open new possibilities, deepen our relationships and expand our sensemaking abilities.
Emergence is a concept from systems theory that has become increasingly popular as we grapple with exponential uncertainty. It's the idea that people (and systems) become more than the sum of their parts when they interact as part of a wider whole. These sessions explore how to create the conditions for emergence, and how to navigate it skilfully.
