Process and flow

March 14, 2007 By Chris Corrigan Facilitation 2 Comments

The pattern of process

I   was out and about today with three Danish friends of mine – my deep mate Toke and new friends Maja and Rowan from the Kaospilots.   We spent the day wandering around Bowen Island taking some deeper teachings and lessons from the land.   One of our conversations today was about energy in the Cirle, and how that is sustained.   Toke picked a path through the woods alongside the Bridal Veil Falls on Kilarney Creek and we watched the water flowing in a pattern over the rocks.   I took this photograph to show that a good process holds energy like the pattern of this waterfall.   The water churns and billows in a constant pattern, but it is not the same water molecules travelling through the patern.   Different water flowing in the container seeks the same stable pattern.

Good process is like this too. A Circle that is well held contains the flow of energy and allows that flow to pass through it.

    Trekking around Bowen Island is definitely one of my to-do things. My friend has a cabin on Gambier Island as well so I think I’ll nail two island, possibly more.

    Beautiful picture. And the whole thing of a circle is a power tool to know. Thanks

    A group of kaospilots worked with our MA program at CIIS in San Francisco in the early nineties. Really impressive folks! and it’s great that the program is still going on (in same or different form? like the water flowing?) Fantastic photo Chris.
