2010 Ways of Knowing:
The Life Science Foundation and the Center for Spirituality & Healing at the University of Minnesota are pleased to announce the 4th Annual Ways of Knowing (WOK) Symposium, June 1 - June 4, 2010 at Minnesota’s beautiful Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
Whole Systems Healing explores how to bring the interrelated workings of mind, psyche, body, and environment into dynamic balance. It seeks to reveal what is possible if we know how to activate reverence, tap into collaborative power for social change, manage chaos and complexity, and catalyze our personal and collective wisdom. To facilitate our exploration, we've attracted several amazing thought leaders from across the country. As of this writing, Alan Briskin, co-author of The Power of Collective Wisdom, will help tap our individual and community collective wisdom and international appreciative inquiry expert Diana Whitney, an international consultant for large-scale changes in organizations, will share appreciative inquiry, a social change methodology. Paul Schultz an Ojibwe traditional healer loved by the WOK community, will focus on Indigenous views of collective wisdom and help create a sacred container for our journey together. Orland Bishop, whose depth of African wisdom captivated us last year, will also be with us again. Inspirational speaker, Mary Jo Kreitzer will provide an overview of Whole Systems Healing that educates and catalyzes our spirits. Other facilitators include Glenda Eoyang, Wendy Morris, Terry Gips, Craig and Patricia Neal, and Eric Utne.
The Ways of Knowing Symposiums transcend content that can be conveyed in writing. With its time for silence, small group conversation tables, chances to meet and dialogue with interesting like-minded colleagues, and focus on aligning inner and outer life, the Symposium is considered a cherished jewel by those who participate year after year. It is truly a transformative learning experience. (See side bar for links to Proceedings from previous years.)
