Listening, Stories, & Meta- Conversations 

with John Schinnerer, Marisa Hebb, Christopher Arlen, kaa Faensen and others

Dates: December 5th, 12th, and 19th, 2022

Times: 9:00-11:00 am USA Pacific; 6:00-8:00 pm CET

Our hyper-specialized, fragmented culture is finally recognizing a need to return to collaboration. Collaboration requires trust, trans-contextual and whole systems thinking, and an ability to hold “both-and” or “meta” perspectives. What might we do to regenerate and rebuild them?

In this three- session exchange, facilitated by GLEN member John Schinnerer, we will experience two interactive modalities or “forms” that support regeneration of these and other key elements of collaboration. We will also take time to debrief, unpack, and reflect on these forms in relation with our own collaborative experiences.

Session 1 - We will participate in a “Listening Circle,” as designed by We Are Open Circle (WOC) co-founders Miriam Jones and Adam Rumack. Our special guest facilitators will be WOC associates Marisa Hebb and Christopher Arlen, along with GLEN member John Schinnerer.

Session 2 - We will participate in a “People Need People” session, a virtual-space adaptation of Nora Bateson’s in-person “Warm Data” design. Our special guest hosts will be kaa Faensen and other certified Warm Data hosts, assisted by GLEN member John Schinnerer.

Session 3 - Facilitated reflection space for digging deeper into our experiences in the first two sessions, wherever that may lead us. Large and small groups, prompts and open space, insights and witnessing and themes, and more stories, no doubt!
