Transforming our future through collaborative thinking, purposeful dialogue and mindful action
Year 1 Integrative Conversations
Year 2+ Integrative Conversations
Year 1 Integrative Conversations
The ways we think about, language and perceive the world (consciously and unconsciously) and the world views that emerge from these have important consequences for our actions, values and ways of being in the world. As individuals, and as members of society, organizations, families, etc we are continually making decisions about how we live, what we learn and how we lead.
In our Integrative Conversations we focus our attention on becoming increasingly mindful of our everyday choices and practice, considering them as holding the potential for integration and transformation. Many writers and activists argue that the crises (ecological, spiritual, social, political) challenging us today require an engagement with transformed ways of understanding the reality of which we are a part. In a dynamic, experiential environment, you will begin to explore the assumptions within which you learn and upon which you make choices and take action. You will experience learning as ‘a way of being’, exploring the edges of your knowledge and experiencing what you think and feel whilst in a place ‘beyond’ your knowing. You will begin to explore the ontology, epistemology and creativity of the “in between” and the edge / borderland / crossroads and to explore the role, language and “space” of the “in between”.
Drawing on the application of learning theory, chaos and complexity theory and theories of ‘structures of consciousness’, we explore the emerging possibilities of / for consciousness and the storying and languaging of the world that emerges. You will participate in conversations about how this way of thinking about the world may transform our actions, experiences and ways of being in the world. We will consciously and practically develop our own ‘integrative and transformative practice’, together.
In addition to the Integrative Conversations, those enrolled in their first year will take the following units*:
