Politics and Spiral Dynamics Discussion

Facilitated by Debbie Hecht.

With the upcoming presidential election drama, Debbie would like to lead us in what promises to be a fascinating discussion.

Politics and Spiral Dynamics

1. Who are the groups influencing this election and where are they on the Spiral?

i. What are the shadows causing problems in these groups?

ii. The fracture of the Republican party and the Democratic party,

iii. The disillusionment and alienation of voters.

2. What are the emerging memes?

3. Where is the U.S. as a nation, now on the spiral?

4. Where is the movement upwards? Downward? Indicators?

5. What are the possible best outcomes? What is the basic job of government and is that changing?

6. What would be the best course of action for the U.S.?

7. What kind of leadership do we need to get where we want to go?

8. What can we as Integral thinkers do to help?

9. How do we engage others at different levels to facilitate real dialogue?

10. What else can we add to the discussion?

DIRECTIONS: From Rancho Santa Fe Road, turn onto El Camino Del Norte. Go 6/10 of a mile, then turn Left onto Val Sereno. When Val Sereno dead ends at Via de Caballo, turn Right. At the dead end cul de sac, turn Right at a large wooden sign with house numbers and follow the narrow extension down the hill. At the bottom of the hill, turn Left. My half of the townhouse is at the end, 3197, double green doors.

Parking is limited. One car can park in front of my end of the duplex. One car can park to the right of my duplex neighbor. Three cars can park in the guest slots before the townhouse. The rest of you will have to park at the top of the hill before the wooden sign and then walk down the hill. I suggest that you bring a flash light to return up the hill to your car. Sorry for this inconvenience.
