When working with Emergence, you just don't know what is going to trigger something special. -- Tom
Too much structure prohibits/stymies emergence; sensitive flexibility yields time and space in moments ripe for emergence. --Sue
Distilling helps us recognize what has/is emerging. --Sue
In the face of mystery and non-linearity, you have no choice, at least if you want to participate at all. -- Tom
These can get people out of linearity so that hidden thoughts, emotions and energies can bubble up into consciousness. -- Tom
expanding possibilities invites something previously unthought of to come forward. --Sue
What is going to emerge is hidden in the depths of the individuals and the group. How are you going to draw it out? -- Tom
Create a container where Em. can happen. --Tree
An emergent approach.... is inherently improvisational. - wiki
An emergent approach generally requires an iterative group process. - wiki
Very generative possibilities can emerge on the margins. --Sue
Contexts of play nurture a spirit of emergence. --Sue
I think there is often some power shift related to Em. Either the Em. itself results in a power shift, or a power shift happens that helps the group reach Em., or something. --Tree
Flow of purpose leads to Em. --Tree
Makes reaching Em. much more likely. Similar to Purpose. --Tree (ditto, Tom)
For those who can function in this manner, spiritual orientation and activities take them deeper and spirit kinda takes over, drawing up what needs to surface. -- Tom
Similar to power shift and even moreso, a VS often precedes and/or results from Em. --Tree
