"Collective intelligence" by Dorothy Oger

 

“Collective intelligence

Is not just a gathering.

It is a meeting of the souls,

Of the hearts and of the minds.

It takes a village to raise a child.
It takes water, sun, wind, stillness and a fertile soil
For the seed to become a tree.

 

So ask yourself: ‘What part will I play in this collective?’
‘How can I create the space to welcome your very unique contribution?’
Ask yourself: ‘With how much joy will you all jam your song like no one has heard before?’
‘What is that merging dance of individual and group, of holon to holon, through holon?’ 
I bring out the best in you.
You bring out the best in me, in us.
And together we are an incredible force,
So much more than the sum of the parts.Like the sand on the plate resonating with sound,

 

Ask yourself: ‘What is the vibration that allows us to vibrate together?’
And like the sand on the plate, notice how beautiful and meaningful this merging is!Collective intelligence is the meeting of the best of me with the best of you for the best of us.
We are equal partners in this enterprise for we all value each other and have a vivid commitment to support the intention and the goal.

 

In this dance between structure and freedom, the power lies in the process that sustains inclusion, consent and transparency.
Anything is possible when we bring our super powers to the circle!
And I, for one, am really curious about what is possible when you and you and you and I are in resonance.”
