- What is my interest in collective intelligence, wisdom and consciousness? (please provide answers, even in your original language, as this is a condition to become part of this community. Names only will not be accepted)
- I am coming from community experience (ecovillage 7Linden), deep ecology (Joanna Macy), vision quest (school of lost borders) and programming (bioinformatics). I am sensitive to the field which is emerging and i am passionate about bridging wilderness and technology. I am willing to run nacked and wildly dancing trough the forest and i am willing to let digital opportunites grow into my body-mind-system. Inspired by spiritual teachers and their brilliant but unembodied approach, i started to hold workshops about systemic group dynamics, where my goal was to open experience rooms where, starting from a common group-exercise (like the system game from Joanna Macy), beautiful reflections about underlying dynamic patterns can emerge. Bringing mathematic/informatics together with spiritual/emotioinal reflections. Harvesting insights from complexity research, chaos-theorie, mathematics of collective behaviour, beyond consensus and ground them in a body experience. Enriching body-mind-systems with "key experience" where deep updates can emerge for resonating with our world. Also i believe that developments on technological level are nothing else than experimenting with analogies which the field invites us to implement on a social/psychic level. From computer processors to social processors - reempower social algorithms by resonating and integrating software tools as mind tools. This is where i feel my calling and my life is commited to that journey at the moment - to let my systemic awareness growing and listen how the field wants to be expressed. I am in close contact with Kosha and Francois from two communites around Berlin who are holding the energy for collective intelligence research in this area. Also i am co-developing (project in the beginning) an open-source World Dialogue Software, based on process methods and with the goal of harvesting collective intelligence scaleless. Being team member of the Institute for Participatory Design is my harbor to feel the resonance of my thoughts in a circle of friends - soon there will emerge gorgeous projects :-) This summer i will publish a paper about "systemic awareness - dynamic patterns" within the IPG.
I am ready to align my life situation in order to follow the highest energy - Right now this means starting a KaosPilot education in Denmark. I am curious how you distinguish collective intelligence, wisdom and consciousness... makes sense to me, but needs to be filled with meaning in me.
- About me... Share what you feel inspired to share. Need inspiration? Here are some questions: How did I arrive to TheTransitioner? What are my most essential values? What makes me get out of bed in the morning? What are my dreams? What do I want to accomplish in my life?
- I discovered Fernanda on Twitter by searching for some keywords and was fascinated by the unfolding room when i let sink some words and folowed the websites. My most essential value is to stay true with the most alive process and to melt down life-hindering structures in the fire of the curiosity to explore life in its deepest depths and highest flies. What makes me get out of the bed in the morning is the looking forward to fall asleep again at night ;-p My dream is to set up or support a team of brilliant people to discover how everything is based on the fractal resonance of analogies.
- What are the gifts, skills and expertise I would like to share in this community?
- I bring in young and fresh energy, sensitivity, curiosity and a link to the german CI-sphere. I am curious to explore how global communication can really create "organic surplus". In terms of distance-triggering of local organic processes of growth...
- What are my current intentions, needs, burning questions, quests?
- I feel a strong calling to grow in my highest potential and come more into contact with what i feel emerging in me and coeval people. My quest is to find a way to keep my light and inspiring butterfly-being alive and have a stabile economic base at the same time. Besides technical college qualification i didn´t finish any academic education and this creates strong ups and downs, especially when i am faced with opinions from elders how a 22year old should find his way :-) Also i feel a need to develop my masculine side.
- What is my current occupation?
- I worked as a free co-creator in the Hub Berlin (coworking space for social entrepreneurs, worldwide movement: http://the-hub.net) for half a year now in the area of online-media, layout and community building and published a lovely weekly newsletter. Now i am leaving to Denmark, California and London... and lets see where this brings me.

emerging character qualities/responds - Part1: why steering into chaos?
Posted on April 11, 2009 at 1:13am 1 Comment 0 Likes
I want to share (without anchoring it in any professional/academic debate ) with you some thoughts i had sitting in a tree today - about new character qualites/responds that i perceive as emerging in the field.
Part1: why steering into chaos?
I was wondering why i seem to almost conciously steer myself into chaos, in terms of being overloaded with tasks/ToDos, criterias to be aware of, deadlines, commitments to people.

Das Seminar im Juni ist in Französisch. Doch Jean-Francois organisiert auch welche in Englisch.
Übrigens, ich bin nicht sonderlich toll im Schach spielen, doch ich mag das schöne Schachspiel auf dem Foto unheimlich...vielleicht sollte ich das Foto lieber rausnehmen, sonst denken alle sonst was...!
I hope that your travelling is very fruitful for your amazing projects!
All the path you already went on really impressed me -- not to say something rude^^.
Your ability to ally body, mind and spirit, how you already came to congruity and were able to put your polarities in concrete form, with a clear-sighted vision...
It would be a great pleasure for me to get to know you, and share on this giftedness which also brings lots of suffering.
I am looking forward to reading you ! :-)
