I am now kicking myself a bit for missing the session in Halifax on Spiral Dynamics but at the time, the topic sounded strange for someone new on the scene. In reading this very interesting discussion I have collected a few pieces from people that brought me to a question. As someone new, trying to learn and navigate the sea of information:
Is there real value in learning about Spiral Dynamics as it relates to opening space and for those of you who are familiar with SD, how has it helped you with opening space? (I think Funda was starting to get close to connecting this with her post) Pieces of posts on this topic that made me consider why I would take time to learn more about SD. I don't have a clue who said what to whom -- but what I do know is that when you open some space -- folks get to work. The rest of it is kind of immaterial. (T-1, T-17 --). Harrison Owen .Anyway, I think systems that create hierarchies are inherently faulty, no help for it. That includes programs that 'certify' somebody to do something they are already perfectly capable of doing all by themselves or by just following instructions with a lot of heart. Paul Everett ...all human beings move in and out of levels of development, levels of consciousness and levels of understanding. I might be green about social issues, orange about art (orange is second tier, above green) and red about homophobia in the same moment. Few human beings live frozen, stuck in just one way of being for all issues in life. As a workplace meeting takes place, for example, participants might move in and out of memes like shifting sands. Tree Fitzpatrick I really respect all of the thoughtfulness and work that people have put into posts on this topic and others. I will visit the links, thank you for the resources.
