1. Ecosynomics First Cohort Process Workshop December 10 – 12, 2015

2. Co-Hosting Getting Started Co-hosting homo lumens from a space of collaboration, what might that look like? …how do we do that? – Engage together to do something – What are the basic elements? …the language? How do they fit together? – How does one co-host? Processes = invitations to show people that we know how to do that: The O process What does to shift our agreements (from what we have) to ones that we want to shift into? – What does that look like? – Being very conscious of whose hosting, their agreements, and how do we shift their agreements that we choose through the harmonic vibrancy process?

3. O Process Stage Setting How does it align with Strategic Clarity? How do we do meetings – Design a meeting? How do we “hear” one another, and integrate it? – Know they want to be engaged; that’s why they show up…. So treat them as homo lumens – Grounded, connected to the heavens, with their core open, and their head operates as a sovereign entity free to move and see How do we fully engage when we are together?

4. Exercise 1 – Characterize a ‘Normal’ Meeting 40 minutes Go into dyads – share own experience of the normal meeting process. – What does it feel like, and what happens? – Recent examples…. – Explore the experience of a ‘normal’ meeting Debrief – share, and summarize what we ‘saw’

5. Exercise 1 – Characterize a ‘Normal’ Meeting Sharing Boundaries can be important; even a moment to be intentional can prevent a meeting into spiraling into an unproductive state When we enter the room, many say we are already on the same page – because we here – and presume what’s in my head is in everyone else's’ head Benign tolerance of the meeting… that we do this…. Often don’t know why they are meeting – often low order, boring, and about systems Often with emotions checked at the door… often with little ambient light… so I check out…and am frustrated, and fall to a lower norm Tolerance for everyone’s unhappiness,….and just go with it They are not really creative, and not collapsing – and producing respectable results Been with incredible spiritual people, and the structure of the meeting an deflate the experience Sometimes just the way we do a check-in – is mechanical, and it doesn’t add anything to the process… or if it is ‘cute’ / silly – it doesn’t add anything. – What are you proud of…. Is a good way to check-in – it changed the level of sharing – Conscious of where we are, and what we do… When facilitating – how much do I share? – The way we listen, the way we are seen by others…. We can better set the stage… – Agendas are co-created; intention for why people are there… clear purpose, desired outcomes, working agreements… hence we have generative meetings… which is our normal – and people show up as whole people – authentically and respectful of each other. 98% the leader is talking at ‘us’ – perfunctory ‘hellos’; doesn’t use the collective intelligence in the room… Best meetings I do are walking meetings; we put down our devices, and become fully engaged – Personal struggle with boundaries; and creating them so I don’t take on more than I can handle; and my time is precious – and it’s okay to attend to it. Deal with boundaries as a positive. ‘Team play’ is not universally translated the same way… in Germany = ‘puppet’

6. Exercise 2 – Design a Shared Experience – How do we cohost this space? 90 minutes – Apply it in threesomes – to a particular shared future experience – design a meeting. Design now you are going to make this happen…and share with each other ‘the how’ we are going to do this. – How to engage the will or intention of the people who are coming in…? How do we bring them in? – How do we bring them to the shared purpose? And is it really shared? How do we reference that? Most groups have no clue as to what their shared higher purpose is… – If this is the purpose we are serving (higher purpose for the whole community) what is our local purpose in service of the higher purpose? Who needs to be here? What voices are required to service that intention? What is the perspective that we need in service of this purpose? What is your relatedness to this? I am needed or not? – What can we see? So we can see what we each see…. Where are you looking? What is it you are looking at and seeing – your unique perspective… ? Your voice is needed – so we can see ‘it’… No need to create the conversation if I can see it myself…. So I need to know what you see. So 100% participation is required. You bring the voice I need to hear - possibilities – Integral theory – to see the essence of the ‘thing’ the whole – to see it together - now it shifts from possibility to probability – it becomes real; because we are seeing the same design… Shared probability – How does this relate to me? What is my commitment to this? What is your part of this whole? What do I need to do to support you in your role in this ‘whole’? Will – why am I here, what do I see, what is my voice and how do I act? What’s the probability that we are looking at the same thing, if we don’t invite them in? and that we are aligned? - Very Low How do recognize when we are in ‘good practice? What is the language that has emerged for us? – We have this intention, this relatedness…how do we invite it in? – Summary: Invite in your will, invite in your relatedness, I need to know what you see, explore the shared possibility, and what does this mean to you, and how do we share in your action to support your role. – what are we collectively taking on? Let’s remember why we are here…. The reason each of you are ____.... Versus Where are you and why are you here? And I see you; and I need you…

7. O Process – 6-Steps It’s Iterative; that fosters collaborative decision making and aligned action will grow 1.Create alignment around the group’s shared higher purpose 2.Create shared awareness of the unique contribution each group member has to offer 3.Determine the specific possibilities each group member can see from his or her unique perspective 4.Develop a collective vision of a desired future reality (I call this a “shared probability”) 5.Determine the commitment each group member can make to the effort to realize the shared probability 6.Create alignment around the specific actions needed to enact those commitments collaboratively

8. Exercise 2 Debrief – Design a Shared Experience – How do we cohost this space? We saw how to see will and invite it in and invite in the possibilities and explorations as to what we can do… How to engage in ‘possibilities’ from a place of trust – Does it require that we know each other forever to find that space? – ‘no’. – Why you need me? What is the commitment that I need to make? – Find the purpose that you unite to… Aligned on purpose? Humor me – what do you think we are doing together? - Check periodically on this throughout the meeting – especially if you see a lot of heads nodding…. – Check – why do you understand that you are here…?

9. Exercise 3 – Answer 2 Questions What do the Agreements look like to support that? – Use your Agreements Map – e.g. bring your creativity; (where does it fit?) Whole bunch you can contribute, and I believe that – I value that and I see you as a resource Will you contribute? Group expectation that you’ll bring your voice – What Agreements need to be made explicit? Tie it to the body experience… How can you tell if there is alignment across these? – Will Force – what do those feel like? Touch, Life, Movement, Balance (intention, shared purpose, and action) – Feeling Forces – what do those feel like? Warmth, sight, taste, smell – Thinking Forces – what do those feel like? Ego, thought, word, hearing – Listen to what people are actually telling you… – Classic 5 Senses: Smell, sight, taste sound, touch – 12 Senses: Touch, Life, Movement, Balance (intention, shared purpose, and action) Relatedness, contribution, co – smell, taste, sight, warmth – Cohost – what senses do I have, what words are people telling me if we are aligned Hearing, word, thought and ego –( words, individuality (solitude), behind the words, sounds

10. Day 2: Exercise 1 Agreements in a Collaborative Space Different people relate to the 12 senses in different ways – Not all are useful at the time, but they help us to discover the gifts in others…. – Jim’s example: at times his heart goes into double-time like arrhythmia. Antidote = gag; but he hates throwing up…so he has learned (starting at a very young age) to control it himself by paying attention to his heart rate (heart math). Start with the Agreements – 30 minutes – Use the Agreements Map as a frame for how we invite people into a collaborative space…to make the agreements more explicit – As the noun, verb, light level – or add the lenses – or add the 5 relationships – or any combination – What are the agreements that we say ‘yes’ to to see the the possibilities in ; find a shared purpose in which all the voices are all relevant and we have a shared purpose. – What would those Agreements Be – be light with yourself in playing with it….

11. Day 2: Exercise 1 Debrief Agreements in a Collaborative Space Group 1: Use the 5 relationships to get clarity Group 2: Powerful compared to yesterday – Concrete draw an Agreements Map as to what we are wanting to have in a relationship

12. Day 2 Exercise Debrief Agreements in a Collaborative Space Group 3 – Agreements Map to Co-Host a Collaborative Space – Organization: Invitation – Ask for permission to enter, create, hold this space. – Invite everyone’s highest potential – wherever if I am not fully present; please give me the feedback and Inquire where I am not Co-design interaction guidelines – Active Listening; Respectful Listening – No Side conversations – Use Dialogue Technique – move / evolve, incubate an ide Use Dialogue Technique: Select out things we don’t want over time, don’t short circuit the process and skip steps… Evolve an idea in a round robin fashion. – Value: Use the O Process in its entirety - as the incubation process; Don’t Skip Steps; Probability to Possibilities: – Option Creation – by all – Current State (noun) what is – Close the Gap (process / actions) Selection Criteria to define what is ‘good’ - to select the Option that we co-design and incubate Dialogue Technique – Use ‘Yes, And…” or inquire into it if you don’t understand how it applies to the local purpose. (Opt out of using ‘No, But….”) Patience – open mind; inquisitive – Allocation: All actively participating; no permission to opt out – Resources You bring your higher self – discovery and share

13. Dialogue Technique Resources On Dialogue, by David Bohm (original work) Dialogue And the Art of Thinking Together, by William Isaacs The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook, by Peter Senge – Pages 79, 352-354, 357-364 – Image from page 361.

14. Exercise 2: How do we Shift Agreements in our Everyday (Normal) Process? How do we know where we are? – How do we know what is available to us – How do we know what ‘right now’ looks like Start with most ‘normal’ meetings look like? – Intention is not to judge normal meetings…. – Identify what Agreements are in place 90 minutes – what is a ‘normal’ new strategy for taking a different direction / process look like. Intention is to do something different? – We are not where we want to be…. So how do we normally address that awareness… How do you take that on… What is the normal experience and/or process…. This isn’t what we want…we want something different… – How do we normally shift direction / shift gears to get closer to what we want

15. Exercise 2 Debrief: How do we Shift Agreements in our Everyday (Normal) Process? Group 1: Connection between what we do now, to push toward the future. And from that future space to identify what we need to do differently. Normally, we don’t think about the experience. – Normal pressure is start doing / reacting, rather than planning… co-designing… – Architects – build houses from the future space. Her process of designing a new house…or renovation. Push-Pull – very much a pull of the design. We don’t move on until we are very clear about the design; and the design is the knowing of what we are doing. So we sit in the design process. We’ll know when we get there. Clarity of the design informs decisions about door pulls, paint colors, tile… Know the design is right first. Building a new house – strong sense of what we are working towards. Group 2: Results-driven thinking; operate in the ‘cage’… Group 3: Exit things that feel bad…we disengage… rather than try to shift the experience Group 4: Shift Happens

18. Evolution Jay Forrester – model problems (rather than systems) – the systems that generate problems. The problem is the behavior of a system, so how do you generate a new system to eliminate the problem – The problem = the behavior we want Reframes – scarcity / abundance question – why are homo lumens sitting in this (behavior over time), and the body experience. – Is this the best that is available to you? What are you really here for? Goal/ What’s driving us is often completely different when ask members of a ‘group’ Fundamental Objective Analysis – Ralph Keeney – Why do you want that? – 3-times - Why do you want that…?Why do you want that…? – People will eventually converge on something. - e.g. we want to decide for ourselves. Sovereignty is a big thing for us Do people know what you want if you just ask? – they do know; and they can. – Does a human being know what we are working toward? They do… If you sit in a space of trust. It is possible. Where are you today? Are you doing well at that? Yes, but I think I can do better…. Do you know what we most care about – together? How well are we doing at that? Is this the best that is available to us? Is this the best that is available to us? – Why did you come together? What are you trying to achieve? Are you achieving what is available to you? How are you doing? Is this the best you can be? How do you access that? - Co-Host people to be in that exploration.

19. Engage Homo Lumens Looks like a gap analysis. The gap = the driving force for change – How you get there is critical The will to act – the we together saw that where we are is not acceptable. – These agreements are no longer acceptable Most strategy processes fail…. We didn’t engage human beings to care and tap into the deeper purpose

20. High Vibrancy Move 4-Step Process 1.Setting up the gap – where we are versus where do we want to be. 2.What Agreements are at the next level? (Fat Cows - Observe / Experience behaviors at that level to see what you can see.) – What is different – the different agreements to produce the ‘future’ behaviors – What is available to us? Create a (growth) reference point. 3.What do our current agreements look like in relief of what the reference behavior pattern (the goals) to see what’s different? (Big systems mapping, if appropriate) 4.What do we need to shift to do that: The fundamental assumptions that need to shift from one level to on another? What new specific structures and processes and practices to support that new level?

21. Exercise 3: How do we Shift Agreements with Homo Lumens - our new Process? 15 minutes: Threesomes – find something that you’d like to work on tomorrow… To design a harmonic move process to a group

22. High Vibrancy Move 4-Step Process Identify the Gap Explore the Experience of Others Assess your own experience Define and enact the harmonic vibrancy move

23. Guiding Principles Share in whatever language comes to you Share and listen with love and trust Avoid attempt to associate to the already anchored (hold self as a witness Being present ; staying in my body Stay in the exploration Treasure hunt for ‘connectivity’ experiences Listen and wait Humor is really important, when appropriate Giving permission to others to show me my scarcity, gently, with love-care- understanding (if not, bring it out anyway) We share what we see in the other In difficult situations, see homo lumens in myself and in others. (Being my own human light, and seeing the human light in others.; especially in difficult situations. Presume in best intentions…) See it in myself first…

28. High Vibrancy Move 4-Step Process 1.Identify the Gap: – Where are we, and is that the best available to us? – How do we engage homo lumens? What do you actually know? Can I ask you as series of questions to see what you want? – How do I co-host the experience so the are in a space of knowing – Is that the best available to us? Is there a gap? 2.Explore the Experience of Other? 3.Assess Your Own Experience 4.Define the Next Harmonic Vibrancy Move – What does the next level look like? – Where does one look for what does life look like in the next level of Agreement: The system is set up a set of agreements to generate the behavior that we are seeing… it’s set up to do what it is doing All the arrows are Agreements that connect the nodes that drive what we are doing. SO we need different agreements If the agreements that we need are already obvious to us, we’d be living in those agreements. The evidence is that I see the behavior that we are getting…. Sit in a place of inquiry… If you sit in the place that you do – then it is not consistent… The agreements are generating what we have… We are not living in those agreements – The behavior that we are aspiring to comes with a new set of Agreements

30. U versus O Process Otto, et. al. discovered – when are people at the most creative? – Where do they find the creativity Steiner’s work: Thinking, feeling, Willing (Waldorf student) – Getting to the starting point – the letting go of the thinking, feeling, the willing – to step into the creative process – and then enact – it ends up back in the thinking… (rapid prototyping) Jim sees ending up in the Willing... Letting go, but be explicit of the deeper purpose and possibilities
