Greetings Andrea, All,
At the Agile Coach Camp in DC this past August, Leslie Zucker leads a
very interesting session on movement.
In that session, I show up skeptical. Leslie walks us through some very
big ideas about movement and challenges us to try them, in the
here-and-now, experimenting and experiencing movement...in part as a
technique for approaching problem-solving.
At first I am skeptical, after about 2-3 minutes I'm experiencing some
rather pleasant aha-moments and nice surprises that invalidate some of
my current beliefs about solving problems.
So interesting.
Daniel

Hi Skye,
How thrilling that you got to meet David! I didn't know of him until
probably 2010. But I've been immersing myself ever since.
I've just come back from a gathering of Clean facilitators in England
which I briefly blogged about on my most recent blog post
(http://adaptivecollaboration.com)
Note the last picture of the Whirlygig contraption at the end of the
post. The idea being you ask to be positioned spatially before being
asked questions. David built that contraption! He was a bit eccentric
and innovative and had great success. :-)
Anyway, Tricia wants more exposure to Clean Language - so if I arrange
a call to do such an informal session - I will invite folks on this list.
Skye - I am open to some other options to if that doesn't suit you :-)
Best,
Andrea

Thanks ANdrea for this reference and Thanks Tricia for this
conversation. Andrea, any chance we could talk further about your
experience with David Grove, I've been a fan of his for years after
first seeing him in a workshop he led I had the privilege to attend.
I hope we can find a way to talk further on your experience with
him. And thanks for reference to Phillip Harland's work too. Skye

Hi Tricia,
As a faciiltator, you and others know that there is usually a
stated problem in (someone's) mind. If one gets the problem
written on a piece of paper - and one asks the owner of that
problem (which as written could be invisible to everyone else if
in a group, or shared) to place that problem somewhere in the
room or outside. Then to ask the person to place themselves where
they need to be.... Then the facilitator can ask 'clean space'
questions about the space between - One of the questions is: and
what do you know about that from there? (the answers to those
specific questions might turn out to cause the person being
facilitated to 'move' or to place the problem in a different
location, after which you would cycle back to the questions
anew)... it is a fascinating methodology... using the psychic
space between...
I am a novice interested person - it is something that evolved
from David Grove's work in the therapeutic world - and is
intensely interesting to me. He evolved it after years of
working using Clean Language questions with trauma patients - and
it was also quite powerful. Unfortunately he died rather suddenly
in 2008. Also, he didn't write much - because he was so busy
trying to perfect what he was already so good at - by practicing.
He wasn't interested in writing much and left that to others who
followed him around...
The Power of Six, by Phillip Harland is quite the definitive
introduction to the technique. We not only have embodied
feelings, but we perceive space in different ways as part of our
thinking - though much is unconscious. This technique surfaces
so much by acknowledging space as an attribute....
Throwing this into the mix if anyone wants to explore or learn
along those lines...
Best,
Andrea

Hi all!
I am writing today to learn from you and invite you to
contribute to a learning journey into the world of "mindful
movement".
For the past year I have been on a journey to learn about and
experiment with the practice of "mindful movement" - as a
practitioner and a facilitator.
I am interested to learn if any of you "use" any movement or
"body awareness" practices in your work as facilitators,
coaches, etc, or for yourself or in other worlds that you may
inhabit.
Additionally, I am curious if you have any interest in
experimenting with incorporating movement or embodied
awareness into your work. I won't suggest for what
applications or in what manner yet, as this is part of my
open-ended R&D process. I have some ideas, but I want to
learn your impressions, experiences, needs, and questions first.
If you would like to share anything in this thread, or if you
would like to have a separate email/video/phone chat with me
- I would LOVE to speak with you :)
Ultimately, I am looking to engage with a handful of "people
who work with people" to experiment with some movement
practices and see if we can develop anything of value that
can be built upon and passed on to others. At the same time a
colleague of mine, Magalie of Dancing Without Borders, will
be doing the same thing with a group of people and we will be
comparing notes. Magalie's focus is on working 1:1 with
"visionary leaders" focused on "new paradigm" work...though I
do believe that is all of us!
If this does not make sense in any way, please do not
hesitate to ask me for clarification - many thanks in advance!
