Acknowledgment
The Life Science Foundation and the University
of Minnesota Center for Spirituality & Healing wish to acknowledge
the unique partnership between our organizations and the co-creative
development of the Ways of Knowing Symposiums.
The planning team, with feedback from the symposium community,
designed a program using best practices in the art and science
of facilitation. Facilitation processes included World Cafe, ICA
Technology of Participation Facilitation Methods, Graphic Facilitation,
intuition, the healing arts, and wholes systems principles.
The symposium speakers, participants, LSF board members, and CSH
staff were fully engaged in the evolution of the 2008 three-day
Symposium. The format included listening to speakers; reflecting
in dyads, individually, or small groups; unstructured time opportunities,
and whole community plenary celebrations and gatherings. In
honoring each other’s culture and perspectives, we collectively
lived the change we all hope to see in the world.
Participants report how their WOK experiences
continue to ripple deeply within themselves, those close to them,
and in their communities of service. Therefore, congratulations
is due to everyone involved including the staff at Oakridge Hotel
and Conference Destination, and other vendors who served the
2008 Ways of Knowing Symposium.
It is our intention that visitors to the Ways of Knowing:
Exploring Cultural Healing Traditions and Practices receive
its many benefits.
We express our gratitude to all, visitors and participants alike.
