Introduction to Harmonic Vibrancy and Ecosynomics

September 3-5, 2015

Objectives

At the end of this course, you will be able to describe and relate (1) the experience of harmonic vibrancy, (2) the agreements that influence our experience and outcomes, and (3) the Ecosynomic lenses that highlight the socially embedded assumptions in our agreements. This will enable you to engage others in exploring what choosing abundance-based agreements does for their experience and outcomes, sustainably.

Prior Preparation

Before we come together, I ask that you prepare the following materials to maximize (1) your readiness to engage and share your story, and (2) to build on the stories of the other participants.

• Write (send in by August 29)
  • One or more examples of how you introduce/lay out the story of vibrancy and Ecosynomics (e.g., documents you have used to share this with others)
  • List of your favorite links about our work, if any
  • Share these materials with the group email list (ask Jim if you cannot find it)

• Take vibrancy survey (by August 29)
  • 3 times — describing (1) a group where you work, (2) a group of friends or family, (3) the highest vibrancy group you experience
  • Click here to take the survey — use GroupCode “ISCIntro15”

• Read/watch/listen (before September 3, click on BLACK links below and Orland’s audio)
  • Blog “we interact“
  • Ecosynomics — Introduction and Chapter 1
  • Videos — High Vibrancy Experience, 3 Circle Graph, Agreements Evidence Mapping, HV Move Process
  • Audios — Orland Bishop on agreements

Methodology

We will spend time experiencing, reflecting, sharing, framing, questioning, coaching, and internalizing what we have learned around the experience of harmonic vibrancy, the choice in agreements, and the ecosynomics of the lenses through we see the agreements. Within this form, we will collaboratively co-host and design the space of these three days together.
