In Phenomenal Conversation #28 with Curtis Ogden we explore
(Re)Generative Energy in Living Systems
Whilst the last 200 years the technological advances of the enlightenment have provided immense amount of knowledge and practical advances in personal social cultural and political spheres. There is much still to be discovered at the intersection between living systems sciences and human energy fields.
Curtis Ogden has long been on the edge exploring these interfaces. Curtis Ogden is a senior associate for the Interaction Institute for Social Change. He has extensive experience in education, community building, leadership development and program design, as well as a deep passion for efforts, that support environmental sustainability. In this dialogue with Curtis we will explore his unusual interest in energetics of systems and systems change, through his deep familiarity with multidisciplinary multistakeholder processes. Curtis also demonstrates this keen interest, through a consistently beautiful and wise social media presence, as well his evident ongoing commitment to transformation of self and society.
Curtis quotes Dr Sally J Goerner when she states ''Regenerative systems maintain their existence by constantly channeling critical flows back into nourishing their internal processes and organization and other forms of revitalization.” He also suggesst the notion of moving to a “ generative flow perspective” in efforts to reform and recreate systems. Otherwise changemakers risk not seeing regenerative reality as it is and how it works.
In this co-exploration between Curtis and the gathered group we will explore concepts such as “flow networks” as well as ''energy systems science and practice” as a way of seeing and experiencing reality in an enlivening way. These perspectives are not novel to our species, but certainly something it seems many have forgotten from a dominant culture standpoint. As Gae Ho Hwako Norma Jacobs of the Cayuga Nation recently stated, "One of our greatest gifts is to remember." Where "re-remembering is to reintegrate ancient forms of knowing and being once more into the human soul.
About Phenomenal Conversations
Approach The concept is to provide a starkly positive contrast, with mainstream conference presentations, panel discussions and general public dialogue. Phenomenal conversations will shift the emphasis away from the expertise, knowledge and personality of the presenter/co-presenters, into a shared exploration of a phenomenal question. Co-presenter interactions will exemplify the nourishing and exciting energy that arises out of living the questions together.
Format Each dialogue will begin with the co-presenters engaging in a disciplined sharp accurate and in depth conversation for a concentrated period of 20-30 minutes or so, co-exploring the agreed topic or question. Folowing this they will pose an open question for the gathered group to explore in a structured format. Through a participation, reflection and interaction, the deeper wisdom of the group will be brought to light, to create a shared experience of heightened togetherness and awakened possibility together.
