Re: Inviting Topics for helping social agencies work together?

Re: Inviting Topics for helping social agencies work together?

Here in the Vancouver area, agencies which serve the urban Aboriginal community have been meeting every month for the past five years in and extended conversation called the Vancouver Aboriginal Council. It isn't an organization in the traditional sense. It's more of a container for conversatio

btw - I am not an expert or associate or anything else of Integral theory, or SD. Or OST. Im more of a non-specialist hack who generally likes to live things in order to know them, and kinda suddenly wish I hadn't spoken into such a loud microphone on all this. Besides, I've been an angry village

Another place we explored some of this was at OSonOS 05 in Halifax. The session I lead on Collective Consciousness, Spiral Dynamics & OST may provide a touch of this perspective. I find it quite useful, and like any, it can be used "judgmentally". Larry Larry Peterson Associates in Transforma

Re: An OS "critique" and response

Hi Tree, I'm just wondering how you define an SD/Wilberite? Are you characterizing anyone who values the Spiral Dynamics and Integral theory bases as an SD/Wilberite, or is there some sub-culture within that to which you are referring, or something else entirely? I know many people who have stud

Hi Tim >From what I understand, there really is no "2t" group methods, except perhaps to curiously and specifically simply observe all the radical diversity in life, as it is (which is often where talk of deep meditation practice comes in...or "doing" nothing). 2t simply INCLUDES all "first tier m

Doug -- the questions -- Issues and opportunities for dealing with OUR turf wars -- is actually very specific, but to that group. My problem with the question is that it highlights the "negative" (turf wars). A better approach, I have found is to phrase the question in terms of possible probabil

Re: An OS "critique" and response

As an addendum to Chris' summary of Spiral Dynamics (SD), the green meme has been labeled 'boomeritis' by Ken Wilber, who has taken the original SD model, which was a model for human psychological development and projected it into systems/organizational thinking. I do believe that systems develop

Re: An OS "critique" and response

You'll need to do some reading on Spiral Dynamics (SD) to get all this, but essentially, as a way of looking at human development, SD is a map in which there are several levels (or memes). They move from the development of the earliest kinds of human societies (which tend to be the most insular)
