Theory U: Leading from the future as it emerges
Posted July 3rd, 2008 by evan.leonardIf you're curious about large scale change and the new emerging generative story, you must look into Otto Scharmer's Theory U.
Here's a good talk to listen to for an introduction:

The theory is a simple articulation of what's needed for the next evolutionary step in human culture in awareness. Its talks about what, I believe the practice of Holacracy (http://holacracy.org) makes practical and possible.

"A new model for green design"?
Posted January 26th, 2008 by evan.leonardDesign has a saying that products should strive to be "Useful, usable, and desirable." Shouldn't it be "Useful, usable, desirable, and sustainable"? If a product has inherent in it the seeds of its own destruction, how can it be considered "good" design?

Holacracy Facilitator
Posted January 12th, 2008 by evan.leonardI'm now an officially licensed Holacracy Facilitator. I got back on Wednesday from the first ever Holacracy Facilitator Training™. There will be another one coming up in February in Vancouver and three more this year at unannounced times and locations.
Keep an eye on this page for updated information. If you know of an organization that needs some help, take a look.
If you're in the Northeast US and would like to learn more about Holacracy I would be happy to get together to talk.

We Agnostics
Posted November 30th, 2007 by evan.leonardI had a vision the other day of AYS being an entry-point for agnostics to finding a higher power. Without realizing it. I think I've been more of an agnostic than anything else. More so that Christian, Buddhist, or Native or anything else. But all these religions point in one direction, towards one-thing. Perhaps too, there is an agnostic entry point to the greatest mystery - the One Great Mystery. Or what ever name you choose to use.
For all agnostics, I recommend giving the AA big book a read. At least through Chapter 4

synchronicity
Posted November 3rd, 2007 by kirstenHowdy,
Well, this is my first post here (and I hope it's cool that I am here!)
The past few weeks, I've been experiencing synchronicity or strange coincidences. Perhaps there is nothing coincidental in the occurrences and I'm just seeing patterns of things that really have no meaning or connection. But still, I search for meaning in them because I find it hard to believe there isn't meaning. All of this started to occur during a time of great stress stress for me, and I started to wonder if these coincidences were just signposts that things needed to be altered somewhat.

The salmon boy and sense of place
Posted April 28th, 2007 by kiliiiA long time ago, a young Haida boy was hungry and his mother gave him a piece of fish to eat. The boy looked at the fish, but refused to eat it, calling it moldy. Soon he went out to play with the other children. They were swimming in a nearby river. The boy joined them, but swam far out and drowned in the swift current. The salmon people caught his spirit and took it to their village under the sea.
