Some quick thoughts for Interdependence Day. I would love to get attendees involved in a piece of co-creation so that we embody the essence of our 'interdependencies'. Here's what I wrote last Saturday on the boat in Southampton:
Potential titles: Moments/ Emergence/ Emerging landscapes; The dance between; Connecting to the field; The making of us
We are a working group that is interested in the process of how we sense our own emergence, how we contribute to the energy of a given ‘system’ or ‘field’, how we connect with that energy and what happens when we do. We feel that experiencing these processes might help us co-develop answers on the most pressing questions for actors within that field.
We are interested in exploring the process and dynamics of ‘interdependence’ and it’s relationship with independence within a given ‘system’ or ‘field’. We do this by inviting everyone in the system or field to participate in a series of simple movements ‘sets’ so that we are better able to access a direct, felt sense of how interdependence happens. Post movement, the group will have an opportunity to explore whatever emerges. We feel that this awareness could provide us with useful insights as actors and contributors in any given system and compliments the insights generated by objective research.
Our approach is based on the work of Arawana Hayashi’s ‘Embodied Presence Practice’, Otto Scharmer’s ‘Theory U’ and ‘Presence’ in helping to bring about profound social innovation, Gestalt, meditative practices and the principles of Open Space Technology.
Chris Tero is a musician, facilitator and qualified dancer, Amy Barnes is an organisational coach, facilitator and trainer. They are working together to develop ‘Embodied Presence Practice’ and are actively looking for ways in which this type of approach could be used to help individuals and groups.
