Hi everyone,

This sounds like such a wonderful and important exploration!  I'm sad not to be with you, but want you to know that we're also exploring similar questions here in the U.S. so it will be great to receive the notes and other information from this session.

 

I send my very best wishes for a wonderful gathering!

Juanita

Good evening from Amsterdam.

In preparation to the conference, I would like to recommend a leadership conference happening right now in USA.
You can follow them on twitter http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23ctt2010.

Dear Tarit,

I just had a quick look at your blog – and well, a quick look is not enough to understand what fusion means in terms of organisational development ...

I have started a new conversation, beginning with the documentation of last years Salon (see the section conversations in this group).

If you would like to share your input on the following question:

What are the questions that really matter to you, in the context of Dialogue and Leadership for a New Face of Community,

I am sure we are going to welcome your perspective and will provide feedback on what will emerge during the Salon ... Last year we have hosted an online café during the Salon to include people who weren't able to join the meeting in person.

Thanks for contributing your perspective!

Ulrich

Welcome Tarit,
it has been quiet for a longer while in this group now. But as the 2nd European Salon will take place in October, we expect a renewal of this conversation.
Best regards, Ulrich

The 2nd European Salon can become a piece of art - a 'social sculpture' - hosts will become participants and participants will off and on move into the role of hosts. There will be a market place for ideas, experimental learning, exploring different fields the respective hosts will open for the respective others and vice versa. Bringing parts of 'Ready-Made' and 'not ready made' knowledge from experienced people together the 'social sculpture' (the discourse, the connection, the community …) can develop.

My neighbor Allen is a computer scientist. I've started to explain the 2nd European Salon to him with about these words and I showed the invitation to the salon to him. His answer: I think there will very nice and interesting people at the Salon but is this about anything and everything? Yes, I said, very nice and interesting people, I'm sure. And NOT about anything and everything I'm sure too.

Then I tried to keep the Salon more simple and comprehensible: It's about the creative and connecting force between people. In this way it is about methods. And it is about identifying important questions for the actual and future development of society, environment and politics where we all are responsible for. This is where content meets methods.

He frowned.

So I gave it another try: There will be a meeting of 20 professionals in the field of big group facilitation. All users and developers of the open source method called World Café and related methods. What maybe is a Google Summer Camp for developers of free software the 2nd European Salon will be for developers of these methods. With an important variation: Besides working at some methods as a product at the same time explicitly they work at themselves and at the connection between themselves as hosts (or leaders) of dialogue processes in communities dealing with important issues and questions about society, environment and politics. There is a deep motivation, to initiate and support dialogue to make the world a better place. And this very first is not a technical question it is a question of possibilities and conditions of deep and honest understanding.

Did someone understand?

All the best

Hello all,

my last comment here is from December last year ... and I announced the Reichenau documentation at that time.

For many reasons this was kind of a longer process. But the documentation is finished and you can download it when you access the new conversation I have just added (Setting the stage for the 2nd European Salon).

I invite you to take this documentation as a starting point for a new phase of inquiry about »dialogue and leadership for a new face of community«.

Let us see what we are going to let emerge in the second round of inquiry!

Greetings from Dresden in Germany,

Ulrich

This sounds like an interesting group, especially since in some ways I feel dialogue and leadership are antithetical...!

I am really positively surprised to see these bubbling activities in Austria. I left Vienna 16 years ago...nothing like that there then. Keep it going!
Warm regards,
Ursula

Hi Ilona,

So happy to see your invitation to the Salon participants and others to continue the conversation. I had a lovely phone visit with Michael Jones who has been so happy to get to know you as well.

I send you my fond regards and best wishes,
Juanita
