[ChatAction] Global scale study circles

Tue Dec 29 10:05:07 MST 2020

Hi Marcia,

Yes, ChatAction certainly seems to be a powerful Circle!!

Ted Circles started in September 2019. At the Ted Circle website there is a Ted Talk posted each month with related conversation starters. Anyone can sign up to host a circle or join a circle.

Best wishes,

Diane

Hi Diane,
Ted Circles is a little behind in times.  Stan started our Chat People last June?  HR started in May or June?  Ted is just playing catch up LOL!
The material Bruce sent on Duane Elgin is spot on.  It’s going to take me a while to read all the material but I can already tell he’s submitting well thought out ideas and is
a good source for info and ideas.  Our Chat People is our circle.  I hope we continue to talk over the ideas presented on HR.  Our deep dives on a Saturday gives us the opportunity to develop other ideas.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for sharing this powerful article. This aligns with the new direction of Tedx with Ted Circles and with the discussion circles associated with Catharine Wilkinson's and Ayana Johnson's newly-launched All We Can Save project. Global and local discussion circles have so much potential for changing mindsets as well as creating community.

Best wishes,

Diane

Today, I’ve been working though the ideas and vision of Duane Elgin.  His vision is so in-synch with everything I am doing.  He was working with Jim Garrison in the 1990’s

Right now, I am particularly excited about his ideas for “Study Circles”.

In this PDF, he outlines the basic principles behind Study Circles – which I tend to see as the most powerful organizing idea in the world, and probably the master-design for the emerging new world – if there is to be one and we survive our initiation.

Take a look at this:

https://duaneelgin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/global_consciousness.pdf

This is not newbie stuff.  This is master vision from the masters, written in simple and highly intuitive terms.

And what is exciting for me is – the entire framework is written as a series of questionnaires – surveys.

Duane Elgin worked with “electronic town halls” for years.  Maybe this is the new design for a vast electronic town hall.  That would be my dream.

Malini – I actually think this meets all your standards.  I think that is  probably true for just about everybody on Chat Acton.  This IS an “action path” – maybe the most powerful collective action path ever possible – and maybe the only way we human beings could possibly move forward together in a way that converges into wholeness and ONE.
