Seed Links
On this website, I hope to facilitate creative dialogue with other websites in the interest of promoting more embodied electronic community (see Invitation to Proprioceptive Dialogue). To that end, a number of relevant hyperlinks will eventually be listed here. But because organic communities evolve in a spontaneous and collaborative way, I won’t try to set down all the links in advance. The links listed below can be viewed as seeds from which a living network of cybernetic connections can grow — something that will happen in its own time and place. Here are some seed links to begin the process:Marlene Schiwy’s website (Inspired by the work of C. G. Jung and Marion Woodman, the aim of my wife’s website is to transform cyberspace into a soul-space that nourishes embodied presence; see also her blog.)
The Lifwynn Foundation (Begun as a pioneering experiment in intentional community, this organization is dedicated to social transformation by means of social self-inquiry.)
Social Wholeness in Cyberspace (This article explores from multiple perspectives the meaning and potential of electronic community, and describes practices that may facilitate its formation.)
Bohmian Dialogue (Philosopher-physicist David Bohm’s approach to dialogue is a practice closely related to the proprioceptive dialogue described here.)
Laetus in Praesens (This is a website dealing with global issues, transdisciplinarity, future research, communication, comprehension, group organization, self-reflexivity, paradox, and human development.)
The Center for Group Learning (The CGL furthers the understanding of groups on both a personal and global level through the open exchange of ideas and experiences.)
The Focusing Institute (This organization offers methods for gaining embodied personal and interpersonal awareness; see also video introduction to interactive focusing.)
Paradox Playground (An important concern of this blog is the use of paradox to reinvent language so as to overcome dualism.)
