Collective Wisdom

A topic as rich as Collective Wisdom (CW) needs days to gather, ponder, dialogue with each other to troll the depth and breadth of the field. Much gratitude to Alan Briskin for giving us a substantial drink from a deep pool.

CW is not group think, but in fact, requires the individual to show up with a generosity of spirit and the presence of knowing each voice matters to create wholeness in a conversation or dialogue. A field of resonance and coherence is called into play that generates new capacities. We begin to understand that we exist because we belong to others, other beings, our surroundings, the planet, the universe. We exist because we belong to others....

Alan also spoke to Collective Stupidity, which applies to many situations, including our dated concepts of leadership/followership.

Transformational Leadership: A Partnership of Science and Spirituality

From a participant reflecting on the Friday TLG: The entire philosophy, spirit of approach, the wonderful container for safe communication. To receive and give. To respect and be respected. Makes the whole experience feel sacred. It is a complete community.

Our Friday TLG with James O'Dea, of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, was rich. As Amy Lenzo noted in her Beauty Dialogues, James became the mesmerizing storyteller to lead us through stories of how human evolution is moving to integration with ourselves, our surroundings and all beings and how this can lead to a wisdom that creates wholeness for us and those around us.

Introduction to Organizational Metamorphosis 101

with Bill Veltrop

What a delight to begin to connect with all the "Imaginal Souls"—the "game-curious infinite players" on last evening's VisionHolder Call. I felt wonderfully affirmed and energized by the generous words of Craig and Michael Ray. I am excited by the potential for the OM 101 TeleJourney to have a generative ripple within and through the various systems we steward and serve.

I'm particularly delighted by the presence and interest of potent women in this pioneering venture. Now is the time for the Feminine Principle to show up in powerful ways—to be woven throughout the core of each of our interventions for our world. And, I've noticed that women seem uniquely qualified to contribute in that domain :-)

I look forward to further engagement with those of you whose interest/curiosity is piqued by this proposed adventure. Don't hesitate to give me a call or post a comment. I draw energy and guidance from these connections.

Blessings,
Bill
