This "Criteria Conversation Main Pad" serves as an index and guide to the process outlined below.

"Criteria" uses a few pads (see highlighted menu above) to give each participant a chance to read, reflect deeply and then contribute their ideas to Brainstorming about Criteria. We suggest that you participate in this before participating in Honing criteria, which will open on the December 29 call.

Here's a map that sketches the U shaped design for your participation here. For this short time, we move down the left side of the U. First you were invited here and accepted, which reflects our common intent (step 1.) Now you are asked to read, or listen to, some material here with mind and heart open (step 2.) Then you go into silent reflection and allow the inner knowing to emerge (step 3.) From that place, you offer your ideas into the brainstorm about criteria. Later we can move together into the rest of the U.

How to participate

Here are two suggested ways to participate in brainstorming about criteria. One option is about 20 minutes in length - a "quick hit" on this topic - and the other option is a 60 minute "deep dive" into the topic. You decide. We don't require you to follow this approach, but it's simple and effective, and we encourage you to give it a try.

Here's a basic flow to use for a 20 minute hit on the topic, or a 60 minute deep dive. To go for 20 minutes, use the smaller amount of time noted for each phase. To go for 60 minutes, use the larger amount of time noted for each phase. Read the phases first, and decide how long to take in each phase. The sections below these bullet points provide a summary of this flow, with links to the various relevant pads.

2-5 minutes: Start under Background and Context below. Go to A Short Ritual to open yourself into the conversation space, and connect into the field.

5-20 minutes: Read the next two items under Background and Context. Optionally, read the final item there.

3-10 minutes: Open the Brainstorming about Criteria pad and scroll down to a blank space. Then take a few minutes in silent reflection, in order to "let go and let come" (to use Otto Scharmer's words).

10-25 minutes: Writing. Answer the questions in your space on the Brainstorming about Criteria pad. (An alternative is to post a short audio or video clip, if you have that skill and prefer it to writing).

Honing Criteria will not be used until after the 12/15 call.

Background and Context (7-25 min)

Go to A Short Ritual (2-5 minutes or a bit more) and return here.

Read the +Short Story of the project for context (2-5 min) and return here.

Read Criteria from Canticle Farm for previous thoughts on criteria. (2-5 min)

Optional: read in the TRC Co-Project Grant Development Google doc. This might be 5-20 minutes, depending on how many pages you choose to read.

Brainstorming about Criteria (13-35 min)

Move to the Brainstorming about Criteria pad. Do silent reflection for 3-10 minutes, and then share your ideas for 10-25 minutes.

Honing Criteria (Not used until after the December 29 call)
