Hello John,
What I learned about funds - and money in general - is to see the solutions coming from a wider field, than just my own thinking and doing. First of all, send this out into the universe - on an energetic base. Then start telling many dif…
Ria I need to go to this and am trying to figure out how to pay. So you are too far away and I am right here but without funds. Hummm
Too bad it is so far away for me!!!
I know Edward de Bono's work well. I also love Roger von Oech. Thank you for the suggestions.

Glyn, I appreciate the link to Sir Ken Robinson. I am currently researching and writing a paper on redesigning how we educate our learning disabled children based on American Indian educational paradigms. I have read extensively and am starting to w…
Ria, with what I have read "womens ways of knowing" or feminist epistemology tracks fairly closely with Freire. My first introduction was with Bell Hooks, and I was a bit shocked at what I did not know. The feminist movement in the 70's as I underst…
Daniel just let me know if I can be of assistance. You are going to have fun.

If you are interested, here is the information. This is a rare opportunity to participate in such a workshop. If you are interested, please let the organizers know that I referred you as this work is pivotal to my research and I am working to become…
Daniel interesting question. Is the Cafe going to be part of the 6 hour intervention or are you planning on continuous Cafe work? Have you tried this format before? Here is my gut feeling on this. Maybe you can incorporate some of these ideas into y…

This group is for exploring intergenerational conversations happening around the world - both harvesting what is already around and supporting new spaces/opportunities to emerge.
My work is founded on Luhmann. Why is it important to my work? the elements of a social systems are the conversations which are autopoetic. Fits within my framework nicely. Yet he is extremely difficult to read. He specifically wrote it to be diffic…
"Luhmann is daunting to say the least." - Pretty funny statement considering Luhmann's work was built around autopoiesis ... the process of reproduction from elements previously filtered from an over-complex environment ... How do we create a zone o…
Persistently persevere the perplexity by simplifying the complexity ... a thousand pictures a word can inspire... a thousand perceptions a word will require ... if one doesn't work than the next may be nearer to painting that picture that makes thin…

Thank you Ria. Luhmann is daunting to say the least. I think that I finally have enough research of his sources to reread and better understand his work. Yes I think we are on the verge of something. Very exciting. A passion for this research does n…
I love the last bit very much: "It might even transform into something beyond a tool or even a community of practice--something that translates the notion of collective intelligence onto a whole new plane."
Imagine when we had a kind of Maestro Con…
Hello John,
(just send an email about others who are interested in academic research around all this...)
I love the "TWC as a autopoetic social system in the Luhmann sense", although I have never found the courage to read him (as one of my teachers…

Ben Roberts said… - Hey John! I don't see you on the list for this Thursday's WC call so I guess you've got a conflict. Maybe next time. I have a couple of threads up on this site about the questions--I'd be grateful if you could offer your thoughts.

John Morgan said… - I guess I mean more what do you physically do with the results. I have transcribed them and sorted by question and then written summaries of the major themes. I photograph the artwork and incorporate it into the summary. That seems like the logical way to use the results, but have you seen any other way?

- Plan on it.
Tell me what you do to follow-up on Cafe sessions generally. What do you do with the comments received? Where does it go from there?

- Good morning John. Thank you for the friend request. I'm delighted to accept. I am also on an educational journey - a year into my graduate degree at Pepperdine. I applaud you for taking the step to do your PhD. I've heard amazing things about the Fielding program. I'm looking forward to conversations and connections with this community.
