To All: When anyone or group begins to think, imagine, and plan for the
future they also need to rehearse and remember the wisdom gained from the
past. As JWM would say "What has God Wrought". The reward in doing this is
to recall the context and continuity that has brought us to this point.
Having reflected on the wisdom gained now becomes "seeds for the future"
even if it is time for change and discontinuity.
As for Marianna and I we are still a part of the vision and methods of the
OE/ICA/EI only now we are self-assigned. Marianna has been self-assigned for
the past six years working within the context of "information access" which
was one of the "pressure points" of the Social Process Triangle. She has
done this in order to create and implement a public access TV station which
began telecasting in 2006.
Together we have worked
* With both the City of Asheville and the Asheville Coalition of
Neighborhoods (CAN) to re-empower neighborhood participation in the future
of Western North Carolina.
* We have worked with the City and CAN for the past two years on a
day long "Neighborhood Congress" using our workshop methods and imagional
education.
* We have facilitated the TOP program 6 times.
* We helped ICA of Greensboro, NC to facilitate the Eastern Division
of the AIA in a conference on sustainable development. (1997)
* We have designed and implimented several adult nurture courses at
Jubilee. (the place we go on Sunday Morning to "Celebrate Life.") At present
we are involved with 15 families of the Jubilee Community in designing and
creating an intentional community where we are using our spirit, social, and
community methods as a guide. (see <http://www.jubilee.org/> MailScanner
has detected a possible fraud attempt from "www.jubilee.org" claiming to be
www.jubileecommunity.org.
As for myself, I have worked as volunteer for the past five years as the
minister of pastoral care at Jubilee. This position has given me a vast
experience an opportunity to work with individuals as their "spiritual
guide". It has also given me the opportunity to work with future families in
designing their wedding vows and ritual.
I could go on with this, but I hope this will be a beginning dialogue for
all of us to participate in.
One more thought. In our OE/ICA/EI experiences we created and articulated a
spirituality and active community that was based on a cultural centered
world-view. The decision to end the historical structures of OE/ICA/EI seems
to me was based on a economic world view (that without which we cannot
exist). Today, as I read it, OE/ICA/EI may not have an economic structure,
but does exist in spirit.
