I would like to invite each of you to attend: Experiences in Stewardship -- A whole-system experience in self-organization.
November 2-5, 1997 Jiminy Peak -- Hancock, MA $600/person (some scholarships available) Call 800-773-8017 to register. Call/email for a printed or electronic invitation. <jdi...@ourfuture.com> View the entire invitation and background / design materials at http://www.ourfuture.com. Gain a deeper understanding of how Stewardship, Self-Organization and Whole-System Learning can help build sustainable Learning Communities capable of creating their preferred future. Stewardship and Self-Organization are often explored separately. But they are parts of a larger whole. When integrated they provide a pivotal shift in consciousness, presenting a clearer framework for understanding than could otherwise be imagined. Discover what it means to be in stewardship to the ecology of a living organizational system. Through alternate languages -- art, poetry, music, improvisation, dialogue, and modeling -- we'll transcend paradox, conveying new concepts in a way conventional language cannot. Through individual and group experiences we'll show how to be in stewardship to a living organizational system. How often have you said "I can't tell you, but I can show you?" First we'll generate the context needed to understand how to be in stewardship to a living system. For without context the threads of connection break, fragmenting our learning. Then within that context -- within a whole-system learning environment -- we'll blend vibrant images of stewardship and living systems, fully engaging one another as we develop and enact the rich, textured new story. Join with us in bringing an ecosystem to life in a rich learning environment. Join with us as we each become stewards of the system -- as we experience becoming the system itself. Join with us in creating living communities of learning. "To regain our full humanity, we have to regain our experience of connectedness with the entire web of life." -- Fritjof Capra.
