Unity and Diversity is a linked pattern because awareness of it is part of how we execute Appropriate Boundaries skillfully.

Shared Airtime supports Appropriate Boundaries; part of why we set the boundary is so that one person will not take over the group space.

Appropriate Boundaries is one of the ways a group needs to Balance Structure and Flexibility.

Quite often, you draw appropriate boundaries to keep Priority Focus.

Remembering the Power of Constraints can help people to accept or even appreciate a decision to draw boundaries.

Membership questions always relate to the Invitation.

Groups with new members coming in should be prepared for divergence. Groups that are in the convergence phase of Divergence and Convergence Rhythm should probably not be accepting new members.

We include natural places and objects, and draw on their aesthetics, in designing the space for an event. Gaia connects us with our spirit.

 

An invitation is a question - Would you like to participate in this?

The breaking of a group into subgroups, and reuniting as a whole group, require skilled Invitation.

 

Any dynamics alive in the whole group will also often be present in subgroups. (Fractal)

 

The accordion allows diversity to be explored, principally in subgroups, and unity to be achieved, principally in the group as a whole.

Priority Focus is at least part of the "centre" half of Margins vs Centre.

Viewpoint Shift helps us Hold Dissonance and Difference
Witness with Compassion is similar to Viewpoint Shift in its emphasis on neutrality and nonattachment.

Reframing sometimes results in Viewpoint Shift.

Time Shift is a ("wholly owned") subset of Viewpoint Shift.

Not about You can be one form of Viewpoint Shift.

 

Getting the whole system in the room generally involves an excellent Invitation.

 

Sometimes you want the whole system in a subgroup.
