<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m searching for an artform, which could be a poem, a song, or a very short video, that could be the starting point for a fairly quick discussion grounding the X of the Word -- YES to the past, the future,
my life, all of life. (You will note that the current version of Courage to Lead talks about the YES to the past, future, my life, and all of life rather than using the phrases “the past is approved, the future is open, my life is received, life is good”.
This is designed to get through the immediate reactions to the old language that was blocking people being able to ground the Word in their lives.) This artform should be tangential to the topic and allow a conversation that grounds it.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m guessing that you in this group will be a better resource than I have found so far. I don’t need just quotes – they don’t lead to much of a conversation. And even if you don’t know of any artforms for
this, I’m hoping just raising the question will be helpful for your ruminations!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m updating and putting online an old ICA Associates Inc. facilitation course called “Participation Paradigm”. In this course we taught 4 chapters of Courage to Lead that correspond to the four sections
of RS-1 images as well as the Contentless Method (the phenomenological method behind all ToP methods). We will study the four chapters, and I am working on artform conversations to ground the previous session and make the transitions to the next session. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This course, along with one updating our old Image Change course and several others will be offered online in the fall in addition to the ones we have been offering online so far.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
