dialogue transformation
for an evolving world
Dialogue
Dialogue. Dia-
means 'flow' or 'through,' and -logue
comes from logos, or meaning. Dialogue is the flow of meaning, through
us, for us & because of us.
True dialogue isn't merely talking; it is generating something new
through the act of truly connecting with each other. We 'look at
the center' of what is arising amongst us. This is not about
downloading
what you already know. It is about discovering and creating together.
We follow some simple guidelines that support the kind of engagement
where new things arise. They are...
- Be willing to let
go of your preconceptions, and have an interest in voyaging
beyond what
any of us already know.
- Be willing to go
beyond boundaries, even if you don’t know what that means.
- Actively and deeply
listen. The act of deep listening itself evokes and creates.
- Engage with deep,
embodied presence.
- Listen for what is
arising between us.
We utilize various social technologies to further aid these
discussion. The form of the evening with change depending on what will
support the topic at hand. Some of the possible tools and forms
utilized include circle, world cafe, open space, appreciative inquiry,
presencing, bohmian dialgue
and many others.
