Generative Communication unlocks being human to generate mutual commitments and shared meaning.
Cultivating a generative mindset transforms our relationship to language from being describers of some objective-knowable world to being designers of reality.

These FIVE PATHWAYS support cultivating generative conversations.

Foster Reflective Awareness
More than self-reflection, a reflective mindset arises from relaxed awareness to be intentional rather than reactive.
Developing spaciousness for relaxed awareness to navigate the tension between confusion and clarity.
Discern distractions that enable habitual reflexivity and constrain deeper understanding.
Appreciate unlearning/letting go dynamic to develop grounding.
Acknowledge Responsibility
We embrace responsibility for our intentions and reactions, and for the power of our word to co-create our world.
Embrace your intentions, speaking, and listening; claim your past, present, and possibility that shapes thoughts, feelings, responses, and results.
Recognize and dissolve defensive, avoidance, and survival strategies that constrain action.
Strengthen integrity to produce authentic agreements.
Embrace Complexity
With space for creative thinking, we learn to dance with and discern the undivided flow of life.
Probe evidence, conditions, concerns, and backgrounds, that shape an interdependent view of situations and circumstances.
Recognize limitations and fragmentation that constrain change/flow.
Develop critical and creative thinking to realize greater integration and freedom
Invite Inquiry
With inventive questioning and puzzling, we discover creative human faculties that transform our perceptions and understanding.
Practice ontological humility to question views and surface assumptions that develop insight and new perspectives.
Discern, expectations, attachments, deeply held positions, and fixed beliefs that constrain listening.
Develop space for receptivity to realize the undivided flow of life.
Grant Being
Through distinctions in language, we discover a radically different way of seeing and being.
Cultivate openness to be with the unknown and cultivate possibility.
Discern resistance and blind spots that constrain seeing possibility.
Listen from potential to engage in co-creation.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE GENERATIVE PROCESS?
Generativity brings forth distinctions from the undivided flow of life.
1. We learn from the body in motion by connecting with the innate wisdom of the somatic mind.
2. We find new paths to presencing by creating internal space for physical, emotional, mental, and energetic experiences.
3. We become aware of a whole intelligence when we open ourselves to possibility and curiosity.
4. We learn to take the space to awaken our voice.
5. We train the discursive mind to cultivate intention and use language to find the words that give value to the experience of the body.
6. We expand our possibilities for responding in the face of daily challenges.
7. We experience grounding and openness to empower creative flow.
8. We identify, integrate, and transcend the positions in our complex identity.
Generativity means giving birth to something, and that something emerges from this conversation.
You feel connected, more understood, seen, heard, and experienced. You’ve been recreated beyond any label or concept – acknowledged as a legitimate being. That is generative communication.
