I’m pretty sure that quote was actually used when I was taught the artform method in my Academy. 1979.

The arrows diagram frequently used with ORID always reminds me of this Kierkegaard quote:

[...the self] by relating itself to its own self and by willing to be itself the self is grounded transparently in the Power which posited it.

Not that I've ever heard of :-) / Cheers, Sherwood

One other note: ORID is both a theoretical framework for looking at the world and the sequence for writing questions in a conversation - by what ever name. For example as a framework for a business meeting (agenda): O - Information sharing, project updates 15 min R - Personal updates - How ya doing...how is your team making out? 10 min I - Current issues and tasks for the coming week - 30 min D - Each person's top action items - 5 min. total time - 60 min

Do the terms ORID, Art Form Method, and Art Form Conversation come into being as they intersect the triad of knowing, doing, being?

The way we teach this in our facilitation courses is that ORID is the underlying contentless thinking method, and the Focused Conversation is the tool based on it to guide a group to think clearly.

There is a paper by Susanne Langer in the Psychology and Art course of the RS/CS curriculum, titled 'Art as Living Form.' It was taught in the Academy (third week). It might have been a handout in CS-I as well. It is not on the Golden Pathways. Langer's Problems of Art is listed in 'foundational works' of the academy curriculum. Her book Philosophy in a New Key was on a longer list as I recall. Marshall

Hello to all,

In 1971, I took my first course with the EI/ICA called Imaginal Education. I walked into the empty seminar room to get a feel for the space. As I walked around the tables all laid out so intentionally, I vividly remember thinking, "My life will never be the same."

44 years later, I am still in dialogue with the wisdom of that gathering. I was particularily fascinated with with was called the Art Form conversation. At that point the pedagogues talked about it being inspired by Susan Langer's work.

It wasn't until this year that I went looking for Susan's work. I'm attaching and also sending a link for an article of appreciation by Howard Gardner for her work. http://www.anthonyflood.com/gardnerlanger.htm <http://www.anthonyflood.com/gardnerlanger.htm> She was using art forms to explore the world of meaning.

The art form has a lot of similarity to Dietrich Bonhoeffer's process for making responsible decisions: observe, judge, weigh-up, decide, act Randy

A few notes on "art-form" and ORID conversations...In the 60's and 70's the Ecumenical Institute and its faculty from the Faith and Life community at UT Austin, conducted conversation about the impact of works of art. Notably Picaso's Guernica - impressions of saturation bombing; and the film Requim for a Heavyweight staring Anthony Quinn as the washed up boxer who decides that even he can live his life... The focus of these two conversations was not to teach anything directly but rather to allow the participants of the RS-I (Religious Studies - I seminar) to experience their experience of the painting and the film. As pedegogs we were listening to the participants' responses for their theological views, which could guide us in guiding the following sessions of the 44 hour weekend course.

I'm not sure when we formulated the ORID format - Marylin Olyer should know :-) but I associate ORID with our formalizing of facilitator skills training courses and the manuals for Group Facilitation Methods (now ToP Facilitation Methods) and Participatory Strategic Planning (now ToP Strategic Planning). Personally I think that the earlier titles / branding "GFM" and "PSP" are much more self-descriptive and clearer for marketing purposes. I suppose we could use both: "ToP - Group Facilitation Methods"; and "ToP - Participatory Strategic Planning".

As I heard it, he asked Is there a difference between an Art Form Conversation and ORID question - and- someone just mentioned a "spirit question".

What is the difference between an art form conversation, an ORID conversation, a spirit question?

Jan Sanders, I know, was recently asked by her teachers and principles at Aruba University why the conversation was called "art form" conversation. It sent her looking back into Brian Stanfield's work and Susan Langer's cultural mythology and meaning making.

Does someone have a generous answer?
