Theory U to theory Us – Resonance to Coherence to Emergent We

Theory U to theory Us – Resonance to Coherence to Emergent We

MEETING NOTE: We are going to meet using Zoom only this month to minimize risk to ourselves and others.
For anyone new to Zoom please contact me at Hey.Eloy@gmail.com - I'll set up a test session with you and walk you through how to use it.

At San Diego Integral, we are continuing our exploration and experimentation in We Space development. This month we'll be using uLab's Theory U to guide us through a process of creating a group resonance, taking that resonance to coherence and moving into collective consciousness. An ambitious endeavor to be sure! Jerry and Eloy will take us through the uLab process with a couple of twists aimed at creating that deeper collective sense of oneness.

We Space, Collective Consciousness, Collective Intelligence, Evolutionary Relationships, Intersubjective Meditation, Interbeing/Interdependence, Circling and Authentic Relating are among the many terms and methods used to advance the consciousness of a group and hopefully everyone in the group (and possibly have influence outside the group). We will continue play with this field to see where it takes us. Please come join us.

With Zoom you can connect via your smart phone, computer (PC or Mac) or by phone (audio only). We can have a surprisingly intimate experience with Zoom. I've been doing weekly meetings and attending online conferences with Zoom. We'll do our best to create a strong We Space.

San Diego Integral is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

------------------------------------------------

In February, 2017 San Diego Integral began the Focused Integral Group Discussion (FIGD) which is a meta-structuring format where we briefly switch into an agreed upon process to optimally utilize the We-Space. The objective of FIGD is to collectively feel deeper into any topic and promote a causal state experience where we briefly switch from a collective I to a collective we. A Focused Integral Group process is "running in the background" until a salient moment rises that we want to explore. This may be derived from a presentation, a poignant comment by a member, a poem...whatever has resonance and can be horizontally expanded by the collective. This moment is identified by the "moderator" who helps maintain focus.

FIGD have three parts. It begins with a formal focus, followed by commentary on the process and then a discussion. Each segment lasts for 3-8 minutes. We have committed to a minimal of three FIGD per meeting. We have found that the intensity of these collective focused moments have increased with experience and skill and seem to delightfully persist throughout the three phases. This is very much an experimental process we have been Improving upon after each meeting.

As previously mentioned FIGD was initially described for the February, 2017. The sequential evolution of FIGD can be seen in the PAGES tab above. New or returning members are encouraged to read these brief papers in preparation for participation. Updates have followed each SDI meeting.

SDI is committed to the creative advance into novelty.

If you have a topic suggestion please let us know and we'll bring it to the conversation.
