“I think there are good reasons for suggesting that the modern age has ended. Today, many things indicate that we are going through a transitional period, when it seems that something is on the way out and something else is painfully being born. It is as if something were crumbling, decaying, and exhausting itself – while something else, still indistinct, were rising from the rubble.”
Vaclav Havel

2. Co-sensing: observe, observe, observe
connect with divers people and places to sense the system from the whole
4. Co-creating: prototype the new in living examples to explore
the future by doing
3. Co-inspiring: connect to the source of inspiration and will
go to the place of silence and allow the inner knowing to emerge
U-Process: 1 Process, 5 Movements
1. Co-initiating: uncover common intent
stop and listen to others and to what life calls you to do
5. Co-evolving: institutionalize the new in practices by linking micro, meso, macro change
