About this Event
Let's explore emerging possibilities of Florida as the 2nd State of Compassion. Ignite hope & encourage conversations for meaningful actions
Launch Compassionate Florida
Imagine what’s possible • Notice the emerging patterns • Let’s connect more dots
YOU - fellow explorers, storytellers, researchers & activists are invited...
With 267 Florida cities, numerous towns and villages , St Augustine, Orlando and St Petersburg have already become Cities of Compassion. Ft Myers is in the works. Come jump into this worldwide sandbox of possibilities. http://www.Visit CharterofCompassion.org
We are islands of coherence…nodes of networks networking with networks. Our learning communities are becoming communities of practice.
WHAT’S NEXT? is up to YOU!
Islands of coherence are small, localized groups or initiatives acting as pockets of positive change within chaotic, fragmented (like society, business), embodying new ways of leading and connecting from a shared, whole-system awareness, inspired by complexity science… These aren’t just isolated havens but crucial connection points, using practices like generative listening and presencing to foster collective agency and co-create emerging futures, moving from ego-centric to eco-centric action. ~ Otto Scharmer, MIT Presencing Institute http://www.presencing.org/
