I live at [Walnut Street Co-op] in Eugene, Oregon, with TomAtlee and seven other interesting folks.


I seek the close life/work companionship of other folks who are passionate and equanimous, and engaged in work that has qualities - systemic, deeply-rooted, structural, culture/consciousness-changing, large-scale, ?? - that make for the most powerful change possible. I'm on the board of the Co-Intelligence Institute, and actively networking among Nonviolent Communication folks and others interested in systemic change.

Relatedly, i'm a computer geek. Ask me about the very cool wiki software i work on, http://wagn.org/

On a smaller scale, someone who recently facilitated an all-day retreat at the co-op i live in appreciated that we had a way of finding where the energy was and allowing it (or pushing it :-) to emerge. I've been in many groups that manage to do this without a lot of formal process; it can be pretty magical.

How do we get more of the people who are already part of this movement to see and act like they are all part of the same movement?
