[Oe List ...] OE Digest, Vol 90, Issue 52

[Lawrence Philbrook]

Dear Tracy

You said "I would love to see something that combined the PJD work, ToP 
and the community development work from the HDPs"  This ties to the work 
I think we need to do with ourselves as ICA and our global community, 
reflecting on what we have been learning and how we intend to integrate 
the new with the old.  I have been exploring Theory U (Otto Scharmer) 
which proposes that to do transformative work we need to start with 
deepening our reflection into ourselves and the reality we are working 
with, and then open ourselves to insight.  Last January at the US ToP 
gathering we were talking about this in the context of facailitation, 
Jean Watt's said something like"We have always done the interior work 
before we could exemplify it in the exterior."  I think we need to 
figure out how to do it again


In Septmber Evelyn and I were in Kenya and Zimbabwe, in both places we 
were talking about methods and about spirit as being a key element of 
ICA's uniqueness.

In October we introduced a new version of the Spirit of facilitation 
course which is our attempt to broach the same question in the context 
of facilitation.


What else is happening?  How can we as a global community and we as ICA 
learn?


I am preparing for a meeting next week on community development in China 
with exactly this question, how do we introduce community development,  
leadership development and spirit reflection at the same time.


With respect, Larry
