Hi there OE/EI/ICA/colleagues… Here is a diagram and format for reflection on the current social turbulence, called Finding a Place to Stand for Justice. In Denver we have used it a) to open a Board /Staff Retreat for a non-profit service organization, to reflect on the past three months of work during the Pandemic; and b) to frame the introductory conversation for an online Neighborhood Climate Action Forum (Pilot on July 11th ) In short the diagram is a screen to look at our current reality and then write, reflect or dialogue – or all of the above. You might give it a test drive and let us know how it rides.

It could also be a research process in itself, if the completed thinking could be pulled together via a web survey or similar tool. I added Doug and Wendel to this return because they might know how it could be done.
