>> Despite its name, the workshop's theme is synergy
>> <http://metadesigners.org/tiki/Synergy-Glossary> (not music)
>>
>> SYNERGY - "The behaviour of whole systems unpredicted by the separately
>> observed behaviours of their parts taken separately" - see more Buckminster
>> Fuller definitions <http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/s01/p0100.html>

>>
>> <http://metadesigners.org/tiki/display846>
>> You get Synergies by combining things.
>> * Synergies seldom conform to known boundaries of meaning or usage.
>> * Their complexity may make them hard to apply, combine, or orchestrate.
>> * HOWEVER - they are in virtually unlimited supply, if we look hard enough
>> for them.
>>
>> <http://metadesigners.org/tiki/display875>
>> What is the purpose of the workshop?
>> The workshop is designed to raise consciousness about the idea that synergy
>> is a kind of 'free gift'. We aim to change the popular view of 'green issues'
>> as a negative, belt-tightening exercise into an optimistic, synergy-based
>> approach. Instead of focusing on reducing our consumption, this works by
>> finding existing and available things that - when combined - might create an
>> unexpected abundance.
>>
>>
>> The workshop will show participants a practical method for taking local,
>> existing resources and - by combining them - create new synergies of
>> abundance <http://metadesigners.org/tiki/Synergy-Glossary> . You will be
>> trained in the technique ofbisociation
>> <http://metadesigners.org/tiki/Bisociation-Glossary> - as a way to co-create
>> these synergies and be assigned to a team of 4. This event is FUN...it is
>> also FREE (but entry is by appointment only). See registration details at the
>> bottom of this page.
