Wheel of Transformation, Co-Creation, SYNCONs and PEACE ROOMs
Based and on basic of the NEW WORLD DESIGN Center's (Barbara Marx-Hubbard's)
SYNCON and recent implementations the old idea of getting participants
roles and motives together onto a round table or WHEEL OF TRANSFORMATION
is very alive!
SYNCON: SYNergestic CONvergence - a communication process to:
-
realize common goal
- match needs with ressources
-
discover individual and institutional linkages
-
initiate joint projects
-
identify growing edge possibilities and new options
-
dissolve stereoptyes
- AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, built community.
The SYNCONS from the 70ies and 80ies were three-day excercises. This ideal
but we learned that a shorter version lasting only one day ignited last
year in Hawaii a new race for fruiteful gatherings that matter.
Barbara called me her "brother of co-creation" when I told her about our "Magic Roundtables" and we found many commons, many common friends and and. I recommend to check out what evolved around Jerome Glenn and James Rose. Check PARTICIPATORY METHOHDS by Jerome Glenn (Large PDF !)
