The Eagle and Condor

One of my favorite prophecies comes from the Andes Indians. It is called the Eagle and Condor prophecy. What might happen if we come together beyond our differences, putting past wounds behind us, with the express purpose of creating a new world together?
I believe it is the only way we are going to thrive in [...]

Embodied Presencing Practice

I had heard of Arawana Hayashi and the Social Presencing Theater she does in collaboration with Otto Scharmer and Theory U. Everyone raved about the experience. Yesterday I finally got the chance to spend a day with Arawana in her intro class that she presented here in Boston.
I was fascinated by the simplicity of Arawana’s [...]

Presencing Foundation Courses

Learning Presencing – a combination of being ‘present’ and ’sensing’ from Otto is really special. He is one busy person, traveling around the world, but if you can catch him I am sure you will benefit. This training, being held in India, is being co-facilitated by Beth Jandernoa and Arawana Hayashi. I don’t know Beth’s [...]

Otto Scharmer, [...]

16 Ways – The Exploration of Opposities with Dylan in NYC

That is why the work of Dylan Newcomb blows [...]

Most of the people use these skills in their work – from youth, health care, government and so many more areas where talking to each other and building a collective [...]

Women Moving the Edge

In 2006 I got an email from a friend that invited me to a gathering she was co-hosting in Belgium called Women Moving the Edge. “I have no idea what that is” I thought “but that is so cool and I know I am moving something, so I am going!”
In February 2007 I attended the [...]

Inner Climate Learning Villages and CoP15

Is there a topic hotter (no pun intended) than Climate Change? No. People across the planet are asking questions about what they can do to curtail the shifts in nature. We have let this go very far and we are feeling the effects in weather patterns and seeing them in the suffering around the world [...]

The need for community

More of us are awakening to our greater purpose and seeing that we live between worlds – an old way of operating and a new one that is emerging. This is a tricky place to be. It is easy to lose our balance. One way we can continually come back to center and refuel is [...]
