The art of pearl diving

The change we are longing for will not be a solution to a problem but rather a paradigm shift. A shift that allows a change in our perception. As long as diversity is experienced as a thread to our own existence we are still in survival mode – which is always an invitation to manage it with measures of control. Yes, a certain sense of safety is important in order for a human being to be creative. What if there is another safety available to us, just in hands or hearts reach? A safety rooted in the very diversity that was so threatening before?

The first step into the necessary revolution will be a bridging. A bridging between the way how nature works and the way how people think. Our engagement will fail if its aim is “fixing”. The idea to fix something origins in the same mechanistic world view that lead us into todays crisis. Nature provides us with another possibility. The very nature of nature is the inherent knowing about re-generation. The forms are always re-shaping and shifting, life responding to the different circumstances it is exposed to. The correspondence in the human realm is care.

The paradigm shift is happening somewhere within the difference between fixing and repair. At the core of repair is care. A regenerative approach to life is based on the care that is rooted in our human DNA. It is unbreakable and will always respond to the right conditions to become accessible again when “lost in transition”.

Before content it is about the ways how we gather. “What is it possible to say? Who can I be when I’m with you? Who can you be when you are with me?” (Nora Bateson)

Who do we want to be as humanity? And what is ours as a community in it to do? These questions and the opening to the diversity of voices responding to them is our “Golden Key” to move through the subtle layers of turbulent feelings such as shame, guilt or sadness that might be released while coming home into our human essence.

Warm Data Lab, Integrity Talk, Systemic Innovation Constellations, Gap Lab – here comes our hand-picked choice of ways of coming together.

Integrity Labs

Integrity talks invite for a deeper reflection of the values that are alive in your community. They are built on the integrity questionnaire that is at the heart of my initiative Integrity For Future. They open the possibility to reunion as the overall tribe of 8 billion people, to sense and feel part of the community of our species. To go through the questionnaire and to find your own answer to questions that are relevant for our self-understanding as human beings is a deep journey.

In an Integrity Talk the original setting of a 1:1 interview will be expended to a mutual group process. It allows for the individual perspectives to merge with the collective knowing that is present in the relationships. With the learning that comes with it possibilities are opening up, making the painful compromises how we know them unnecessary.

To be included in the process of active research on new circle cultures that re-align us with the regenerative impulse of life can be a powerful healing experience and will for sure strengthen the trust and the depth of relationships in your group.

For leaders: The Integrity Team Lab, a special format created for teams in organisations, also includes a mutual exploration of the integrity questions mentioned above.

Warm Data Labs

transcontextual learning

What is “success” in an ever changing world? And what is Family? How do we respond to the world’s complex challenges when they’re increasingly being viewed through a lens of “cold data” removed from context and fed into artificial intelligence systems?

Warm Data Labs are living kaleidoscopes of conversation which assist individuals and groups in stitching back together the fabric of their interweaving contexts, enhancing their ability to perceive, discuss, and respond to complex or “wicked” challenges in their personal lives and in the world at large.

The format is simple and open to all, having helped participants ranging from schoolchildren and grandmothers to representatives from NASA and the United Nations to break through old scripts and to broaden horizons for what was thought possible.

Who can you be when you are with me? What is possible to say?

Gathering a group in a Warm Data Lab is a way to gather in the richness of the relational realm, unleashing the pearls of the transcontextual nature of life, nourishing depth and meaning within the community and beyond – coming as an invitation to everyone to meet in full humanness.

Gap Lounge

master tool for innovation

Life is a deep rhythm of resting & thriving. Pausing is immanent to nature. It is the time of digestion, contemplation and possible emergence out of the non-visible, not yet-there. In the urgencies of our daily lives, especially with the pressure that comes with the many faces of crisis we meet we tend to fall into activism. In search for “solutions” to problems we deprive us from the source of creativity and innovation – which is the pressure-less space of pausing.

It is in the pauses that new inner connections can be made. The natural combining of pieces that are alive in us will lead to insights that include both sides of our brain and our whole body and soul. The explicit invitation to share the open questions that we don’t have an answer to – expressed in a light atmosphere where we can lean back and breathe out – allows our nervous system to uncouple from the stress of our roles and the expectations that come with it. The acknowledgment that I don’t know when I should know opens up the possibility for the new to emerge and strengthens the trust in our community.

Systemic Innovation Constellations

“Systemic Innovation constellations” are a creative ritual to re-connect you with your deepest resources. This new form of constellation work also gives access to hidden informations that are relevant for the case you bring in.

What future do you want to shape, with a view to your life, your organization, the bigger picture? What dynamics, what limits and what possibilities would you like to understand more deeply?

Systemic Innovation Constellations create a space from where new insights can arise. We use meditation, journaling and dialog to find the burning questions that are currently alive for you. All future questions contain various “system elements” that can be set up with representatives.

From the initial visualization of the relationships between the elements that play a role in the desired future, insights, dialogues and movements emerge “all by themselves”.
