Join a growing eco-system of practitioners who use the “art of scribing” to bridge the ecological, social, and spiritual divides we experience in our world today.\u00a0Scribing – a process of drawing while people talk – provides a mirror that can help a\u00a0system see itself in new light.\u00a0With intention to build navigational capacity for the rapidly changing times in which we live, this program will focus on:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Activating\u00a0intelligences<\/strong>\u00a0of the Open Mind, Heart, and Will<\/li>\n
- Deepening practice<\/strong>\u00a0of a visual sense-making discipline<\/li>\n
- Cultivating knowledge\u00a0<\/strong>of social technologies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We will cover aspects of Presencing, System and Conversational diagnostics, Four Levels of Listening, Generative Scribing, Discernment for \u2018Letting Go and Letting Come\u2019, 2D Modeling,\u00a0Project Planning, and shared Applications of this work in a variety of contexts.\u00a0The learning process will involve presentations, hands-on practice, individual and peer-to-peer reflections, and large group conversations.<\/p>\n
Who should participate?<\/h4>\n
- \n
- Scribes<\/strong>\u00a0who want to bring Presencing into their practice<\/li>\n
- Theory U practitioners<\/strong>\u00a0wanting to learn visual expression<\/li>\n
- Visual thinkers<\/strong>\u00a0seeking to expand their capacity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Drawing will be our primary form of practice. You do not have to be a skilled scribe or artist \u2013 but be prepared to use visual expression\u00a0as the main method of practice during the program.<\/p>\n
