Dear Jack,
Yes, that's good to read. I'm very keen on catalysing groundswells....
But I note that what is currently missing from Jacqui's exposition is the
receptive space that is vital to the possibility of fluid organisation.
Wittingly or unwittingly, she speaks in terms of the 'holistic' closed space
geometry of informational 'connectivity' and complete 'wholes', not the
inclusional 'open space geometry' of spatial communion and dynamic
relational 'holes'. I suspect what she really means by 'exquisite
connectivity' is what I would call 'natural communion'.
I'm attaching the 'preview' for the following:
Rayner A.D.M. (2008) Natural Communion: poems and paintings about our human
inclusion in the evolutionary flow of place-time. Available from
http://www.inclusional-research.org/furtherreading/naturalcommunion.pdf.
List members might also like to view
http://www.inclusional-research.org/introtexts/starters/ppt, where there is
a powerpoint presentation of '12 Steps to Inclusionality'.
Warmest
Alan

Hi Alan and all - I've just seen Jacqui Scholes-Rhodes' details at:
http://ejolts.net/drupal/node/70 where Jacqui says:
"I’m reflecting on the broader possibilities inherent in our coaching
conversations, and am considering the possibility that through these
conversations we might catalyse a groundswell of connected individuals
who together might aspire to create fluid, self-transforming
organisations where human connectivity is core."
I do hope you'll read Jacqui's details. I think they will help to
sustain the life-affirming energy I feel flowing through this space.
In her doctoral research programme Jacqui brought 'exquisite
connectivity' as a living standard of judgment into the academy (see
http://people.bath.ac.uk/edsajw/rhodes.shtml
). I can feel Jacqui's presence as we contribute to enhancing the
explanations we are helping each other to generate in this creative,
educational and inclusional space.
Love Jack.
