Teaching and working with leadership in Nuxalk territory

May 25, 2007 By Chris Corrigan Appreciative Inquiry, Conversation, Facilitation, First Nations, Leadership, Travel, World Cafe 2 Comments

Yesterday, in preparing for two days of teaching and training I spent the morning over breakfast reading some of th stories of Clayton Mack, the grandfather of my friend and client Liz Hall. I was reading about the way in which Nuxalk people gathered food from the land, whether it was the fish, game or plants and berries. He talked about the way the amlh – the spring salmon – were harvested using fishtraps. At one time there were 22 traps on the river. These traps would form barriers that the salmon would need to jump. When they jumped they …

Notes

May 21, 2007 By Chris Corrigan CoHo, Conversation, Links, Music, World Cafe 4 Comments

Starting a new regular type of posting. These are a series of short notes and thoughts, too small to warrant a post, but looking for a home nonetheless, and possibly becoming more. I invite your curiosity on any of this…queries may set me to growing these little guys into something more substantial. Conversations that matter is the home for the world cafe Europe blog. Good reading there. Dave Pollard on the distinctions between dialogue and debate. Dave wrestles with his conscience on this one and comes up with a finer grain analysis as a result. Interesting as usual, and deeply …

West Coast Road Trip…the REAL west coast

May 12, 2007 By Chris Corrigan Conversation, First Nations, Travel, Youth 6 Comments

I learned a new word this week: teechma. It’s the Nuu-Chah-Nulth word for heart, but it conveys a deep meaning when you hear an Elder in her village talking about why she thinks something will work, why she is hopeful about changing the system solely because we spoke about it from our hearts, our words coming from teechma. I was with my mates Wally Samuel, Kris Archie and Kyra Mason this week in three isolated villages on the north west coast of Vancouver Island, Oclucje, Ehattesaht and Ka:’yu’k’t’h’. We were travelling there on behalf of VIATT to hear what these …

Why real conversation matters

April 2, 2007 By Chris Corrigan Conversation

If you have been following along with the story of threats against Kathy Sierra, this will likely be no news to you.   But if you haven’t you can start by reading her blog post about this situation in which she was vilely and violently threatened by an anonymous blogger, the act and response to which launched a flurry of bad feelings everywhere. Yesterday, Kathy and Chris Locke, one of the bloggers she had singled out held an actual conversation and the harvest is here is a dual set of Coordinated Statements on the whole affair.   What is important …

Christy on the sources of sacred conversation

March 17, 2007 By Chris Corrigan Being, Collaboration, Conversation, Practice 4 Comments

Christy Lee Engle has posted a beautiful pair of quotes on sacred conversation.   There is so much goodness in it that   i republish it here for your edification.: Peggy Holman recently posted a beautiful article called “Evolution, Process and Conversation: A Foundation for Conscious Evolutionary Agency” to the Open Space listserv, originally written for the Evolutionary Life e-magazine. In it, she wonders/suggests: “Could it be that consciousness is the latest evolutionary innovation that, when applied to conversation, catalyzes a new form of social system, the conscious co-creative collective, the radiant network of deep community? I believe that conscious …
