The purposeof"DandDTrans" is to explore this calling question:”What do we, as members of the dialogue and deliberation community of practice, have to be and do to enable our most positive transformational impact in the face of emerging global crises which fundamentally challenge our business-as-usual habits and systems?”
The intended results of our time together(though January 31) include:
To engage in deep dialogue around our calling question.
To connect to build community and share resources, information and strategies.
To elicit inspiring, actionable possibilities and support the emergence of collaborative teams to work together on bringing them forth in the coming year.
To have the inquiry process itself be a prototype that can be iterated upon in service to systemic transformation.
The purpose of this call is to give you the chance to initiate one or more live conversations of your choosing.
DandDTrans is in a"middle phase," where the inquiry has been framed and launched, and each participant is invited to craft their own journey of meaning making, and also to consider ways to support the development of the whole.
Open Space is the main process being offered now, continuing through next week.
In the final week of January, the plan is to move into more collective meaning making and consideration of next steps. World Cafe will once again be the core process offered for that phase.
As Peggy Holman and Anne Stadler like to say, "take responsibility for what you love, as an act of service!"
