Spiral Dynamics

Spiral Dynamics reveals the hidden codes that shape human nature, create global diversities, and drive organizational change. This fresh perspective integrates the pioneering work of Dr. Clare W. Graves in emergent thinking systems and value structures with memetics, the exciting new science of ideas and their movements. Through the STREAMS and TEMPLATES frameworks, it offers specific guidelines for designing...(more)

Invitation to Euroconfab 2009 in UK

Albert said Sep 29, 10:51 PM:
 

EUROCONFAB  23-25 OCTOBER 2009


We have an exciting line up of international speakers including Dr Don Beck; Michael Strong of 'Be the Solution' who will describe the future of Conscious Capitalism; Marilyn Hamilton talking on the future of our urban habitats; Mike Jay with his radical perspectives on the future of Europe; Peter Merry of 'Evolutionary Leadership'; Morel Fourman showing us how to create transformative systems that facilitate effective collaboration; Jon Freeman who will be mapping out the Science of Conscious Evolution.  Last but not least we have just secured the presence of 

Nick Drummond,the founder of Nordic Integral who works as a Leadership trainer in education, from preschools to universities. He is co-author of 'Order and Discipline in the School: One step on the Path to Dynamic Harmony in the Classroom'.


Nick will present his experience in developing tools for creating positive change and meaningful development in teaching and learning. Nick will show how we can help teachers, pupils and parents transcend a care for horizontal egalitarianism and narcissism to include a care for vertical development and higher purpose along the Spiral. The tools are now being used in schools in Sweden, USA, England and Denmark, with extraordinary results.  He will co-present with Joan Berland, an experienced teacher in America, who has been using the models and demonstrating the transformative power and potential behind them.
 

Are you surrounded by cynicism and pessimistic thinking?   Or do you believe that we can create the future we want for our children (and ourselves)?


Come and join us for a weekend with an exceptional group of individuals who dare to think and believe that what we think matters, that how we see the problems and challenges of our current economic and global crises actually affects the answers and solutions that we have access to…


This will be an exciting weekend in a beautiful location near Gatwick - generating conversations that matter and accessing the resources of our collective wisdom for the journey ahead
What's more, if you register and pay before 6th October there's still time to take advantage of the 'late' earlybird ticket


This weekend is hosted by Center for Human Emergence- UK and is open to everyone, though the official 'language' will be Spiral Dynamics Integral.   If this is totally new to you, we suggest you seriously consider coming to the level 1 training in London 19th-21st October, which may well be the last level 1 training taught by Dr Don Beck in the UK.



Looking forward to seeing you there.

Dear Om,

mobilizing the fourth instinct:) (Arianna Huffington) in Europe is a multi facetted challenge. This year the CHE-UK was launched, while the German one is still under the radar screen. I am in contact with its very small core group and we will notice what happens there while focusing on a sustainable working process -which includes right now as much smart work as hard work! -for Germany.

We in Germany have consensus right now that its less about congresses, big meetings and seminars and meetings but very, very focused, commited and pragmatic work in small groups. With highly specialized functions and responsible contributions to supraordinate goals. Taking care of each other and embody the biggest boldness from within such core groups which cares for individual growth and wealth/health as much as for collective purposes.

A communication space will be created in near future.

For me personally the times before big meeetings and after them is often neglected. The first 48 hours after every congress shows a radical decline regularly.  Start Up entrepreneurs of all kind know what momentum means in the first 90 days of a company or project.

To develop such momentum in this specific context it takes much. In an article about Meshworks foundations this quote from Don Beck is important:

“In the Seventh emerging category of Foundations, Dr. Beck talks about the “Third Win Purpose” … “a foundation that possesses an uncanny ability to morph itself to find rapport, identify with, and shape itself to connect with a number of different organizations, interest groups, political groupings,and professional .societies…”

Before the third Win Purpose can be manifested the simply win-win attitude needs to come to life within all members of the core groups. In a country with lots of tribal gaps, hidden ideology  still and pre orange blocks this needs to be acclomplished right now:):)even in integral…
Best,
Albert
