Just coming out of this session on navigating AI, Social Fracture, and Polarization it was SO dense and we were deep into reclaiming our capacity to sense, know, and act amid forces designed to fragment our attention and polarize our communities. This session brought together ethical AI innovators with Tristan Harris, Nepun Mehta, experts in embodiment Manis Srivastava and collective sense-making, and practitioners navigating the economies of attention. Hosted by Otto Scharmer and Antoinette Klatzky and social artist Kelvy Bird. I'll need some time to share my notes! Please, I invite any of you who attended to add your own takeaways from any of the speakers that would be fabulous for us all to read. In the meantime, here is the graphic recording that Kelvy put together. I'm still listening to this phrase from Nepun: Love is deep data, with it we trust that inner coherence will lead to social coherence.💖

I’ve been an avid reader of Le Courrier International for a long time as it takes news from global sources and publishes them in French. This morning reading about global politics I discover UNHEARD and am quite surprised and pleased with their work. Please share your recommendations on news worthy sources as we need to read and hear unbiased (if that still exists) coverage. Thank you 🙏

Most communities don’t fail because of content. They fail because of how people feel inside them. And this is where psychology come in. Not in a weird way. In a very practical way. Because every community creates a kind of “state” in people. 👉 Some feel safe to share 👉 Some just observe 👉 Some feel pressure 👉 Some disappear And that’s not random. It’s influenced by things like: – The way we write our posts – The expectations we set (or don’t set) – How we respond to people – How clear the structure is Small things… big impact. For example: If everything feels “too perfect” → people hold back If everything feels chaotic → people get lost If nobody leads → nobody moves What I’ve learned: People engage when it feels easy and safe enough. People engage around topics of interest People engage to share I’m curious: Have you thought about what community feels like for you?

Being a part of the Presencing Institute community since it's very beginning, and have used TheoryU in the design of many gatherings that I have hosted and facilitated. I joined the first of five global gatherings yesterday. They hosted a 90-minute session with over 700 participants weaving together stories, music, breakout conversations, and collective reflection to explore the living connections between regenerative agriculture, human health, and new economic possibilities. I'm sharing a few of the images and phrases that stuck with me: Planting new seeds for new ways From extraction to regeneration Agriculture is culture Native bees are almost extinct Fall in love with the problem Both special guests were touched by a calling and curiosity to do something different with their lives. Despite their fear they allowed themselves to feel into it, to take risks because they had a strong belief in the importance of their ideas, and the impact they could have on people and the planet. They decided to experiment with what they were curious about and each took small steps with purpose, being brave enough to take the next step without having the answers. Christa was activated by soil, farming and community. Zuzanna by creating caring farmer communities. Christa went on to say that she surrendered to the process. Special Guests: Christa Barfield, Zuzanna Zielińska
