Foster Reflective Awareness
More than self-reflection, a reflective mindset arises from relaxed awareness to be intentional rather than reactive.
-
Develop 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 and create space.
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, and concerns that disclose an interdependent view of situations.
-
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.
