We have it in us

July 31, 2009 By Chris Corrigan Being, Collaboration, Emergence, Music 3 Comments

I love Bobby McFerrin, and I love what he does with music.   Watch in this video how he pulls out of an audience their inherent collective talent.   Beautiful! Thanks to Thomas Arthur for the link.

How to Save the World

July 31, 2009 By Chris Corrigan Art of Hosting, Design, Invitation

From a fictitious conversation that Dave Pollard hosted between two competing sides of his personality – the expert and the generalist – comes this gem on invitation and teaching: Your job as an ideator is just to articulate the idea, as coherently and compellingly as possible, which is generally best done by telling a story. It’s not your job to research its plausibility, to become enough of an expert to know whether and how to make it happen. You just tell the story. Then the responsibility for implementing is left to each person to accept, or not. If the idea …

Exploring TaKeTiNa

July 29, 2009 By Chris Corrigan Being, CoHo, Collaboration, Flow, Leadership, Music, Organization

This summer I have been gifting myself a weekly learning session with my friends Brian Hoover and Shasta Martinuk who are leading a TaKeTiNa workshop here on Bowen Island.  TaKeTiNa is a moving rhythm meditation that provides a learning medium for dealing with questions, inquiries and awareness.  In many ways it is like a musical version of the aikido based Warrior of the Heart training that we sometimes offer around Art of Hosting workshops.  It is a physical process that seeks to short circuit the thinking mind and bring questions and insights to life. We do this by creating difficult …

Four reflections to turn the mind to practice

July 29, 2009 By Chris Corrigan Appreciative Inquiry, Art of Hosting, Facilitation, Practice

Was listening on the beach yesterday to a good talk by Joseph Goldstein about four reflections that bring the mind to dharma.  These relections are used by Buddhists to become mindful in everyday life.  Mindfulness – individual and collective – is a resource in short supply in the world.  A lot of the hosting work I do is about bringing more mindful consciousness to what groups are doing.  These four reflections are useful in that respect. From a dharma perspective, the four reflections are: Precious human birth Contemplation of impermanence The law of karma Defects of samsara On their own …
