The South African Crucible revisited  CHE-Salon October 24th 2023

De purpose van Center for Human Emergence NL (CHE NL) is:het toepassen van het Integrale gedachtegoed (Spiral Dynamics en het Integrale model van Ken Wilber)op actuele maatschappelijke vraagstukken en ontwikkelingenDe uitgangspunten waarmee we deze bestemming willen realiseren, zijn:1. We gaan uit van eenheid2. We erkennen natuurlijke orde in alle leven3. We vervullen de rol die de onze is4. We handelen als de tijd rijp is en verduren zo niet5. We verhelderen creatieve spanning tot nieuw inzicht zich aandient6. We handelen vanuit wederzijds vertrouwen en zijn steeds bereid rekenschap te geven aan elkaar en het geheel7. We brengen bewust en onbevreesd authentiek zijn in de praktijk- we openen ons hart voor de stem van het geheel- we geven gehoor aan de evolutionaire impuls zoals die als ons opkomt- we handelen – als onderdeel van die impuls – met snelheid, precisie en liefde.Hoe is het, als we deze bestemming en uitgangspunten in alle aspecten van ons leven uitdrukken? Dat is wat CHE NL doet.Leeswijzer voor bovenstaandeLees de bestemming en de uitgangspunten, spreek ze wellicht een keer hardop uit en neem dan een minuutje stilte om niet alleen uw hoofd maar ook uw hart en buik de kans te geven om er door aangeraakt te worden – of niet.Crisis? Bewustzijnscrisis!Onze samenleving ondergaat een transitie van ongekende omvang. Oorlogen, de energiecrisis, de klimaatcrisis en de onrust over steeds verder uit elkaar drijvende culturen zijn voorbeelden van problemen die het gevolg zijn van onze successen van de afgelopen decennia.De oplossingen kunnen niet gevonden worden als we dezelfde manier van denken en handelen hanteren die de problemen veroorzaakt hebben. We staan voor de uitdaging om nieuwe, meer complexe en creatieve manieren van denken en doen te ontwikkelen. Deze uitdaging aangaan vraagt bewustzijn, èn een wilsbesluit. De bestemming en uitgangspunten van CHE NL zijn ons antwoord op deze uitdaging.Is het CHE van/voor u?Het CHE NL is van/voor ieder mens die bovenstaande bestemming en uitgangspunten op één zet in het leven.

Spiral Dynamics in Action: What can we learn from the great work Don Beck did in South Africa, for current conflict situations in the world?

Numerous times during the late 1980s and early 1990s Don Beck visited South Africa. In total he worked here 63 times, in the corporate and political space. Don was sent to South Africa by Clare Graves in 1986 to test their theoretical assumptions about what is now known as Spiral Dynamics. Apartheid and the impact thereof was at an all-time high, social uprising were daily occurrences, and heavy American sanctions were strangling the local economy. Internationally it was feared that South Africa was on the edge of a civil war. Together with Loraine Laubscher conversations with leaders like Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, FW de Klerk and other political leaders were facilitated. Our guest Dr Rica Viljoen was the founder member of Mandala Consulting, a respected organisation dedicated to organisational development and research. She worked closely with the late dr Don Beck and dr Loraine Laubscher on geo-political trends and their impact on individuals and the organisations they belong too. She established the Centre of Human Emergence Africa and has become an international recognised thought leader in spiral dynamics and integral research. Her research on inclusivity gained widespread recognition for its potential impact in the field of Management, Spirituality and Religion. The approach she developed, which emphasises listening to the voices of the entire social system, has been successfully implemented in 42 countries, engaging more than 100000 participants. Rica got many important rewards for her academic endeavours. She published 9 books of which the book Spiral Dynamics In Action is translated in 9 languages. Her purpose in life is to listen to untold stories and facilitate healing.During the conversation in this salon, Rica Viljoen will share stories and insights; not only on how Spiral Dynamics contributed to the prevention of a Civil War in South Africa; but also on the memories of Don shared in the 8 years of close cooperation with him. She will also incorporate the auto-ethnographic reflections of Loraine with which she spent 12 years.Towards the end the group will collectively reflect on how the spiral can be useful in dealing with a cauldron of diverse social conflicts, with an attempt at weaving together an integral tapestry of humanness from which we all might learn. The salon is online via ZOOM and will last ca. 2,5 hours. Rica will join us for the whole session, the language is English. We ask a contribution between 5 – 25 euro to participate in the salon to collect some money to organise these meetings.
