Welcome Them!

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 have been working for a number of years in this area essentially bringing people together in a virtual environment. After experiencing about 10 years ago, during a virtual project, how deep relationships can be formed and how close people can become to each other with deep connections even though they have never met - I was amazed and inspired to continue to develop spaces where people can work easily together.

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've no idea what I want to accomplish in my life but what gives me great energy is helping people to connect - especially across very different disciplines.. through technology but also in real life... through the relationship

What are the gifts, skills and expertise I would like to share in this community?: I can bring my long experience in building learning and collaborative platforms... I have a very wide network in many different sectors and countries, from a benchmarking group of scientists to engineers, to IT professionals, to OD/leadership experts, to leaders in universities, to psychologists and coaches

What are my current intentions, needs, burning questions, quests?: I would like to bring together different partners in the renewable energy sector and friends willing to experiment, along with investors, to see how we can create systems either for individual households or small communities which make them self sufficient in waste disposal and energy creation... so looking at systems using ethanol/methanol.. hydrogen fuel cells etc... Ultimate dream would be to create an inexpensive system to power houses in the developing world... whether it be wind, solar, waste or whatever...

What is my current occupation?: I'm working in different areas:
- Founder of TetraLD - an organisation which is basically a network of friends who have come together to pool their wide expertise to offer leadership, organisational transformation and team coaching, health in organisations, to help people organisations and teams cope become more versatile but also cope with multiple layers of complexity and change. We are a network structure so operating without any central control. www.tetrald.com
- I'm building virtual community sites in open source, developing practical and tailor made elearning modules set in c-learning platforms - employing programmers in India (so ensuring full time employment and also helping support 1 family there from this work, who are living below the poverty line), I also build websites and platforms for non for profits or people who would normally not have the means to do this www.perspectives-sprl.com.
- I run experiential change management sessions using simulations which mirror people's behaviour in real life.
- Created last year a benchmarking group of leading scientists from across Europe and Asia, all experts in their particular fields - materials and renewable energy, who are specialised in creating benchmarking reports based on the latest developments and technologies.

I have been working with communities of practice, elearning, online community building for quite some years. Then I decided to go into the physical spaces and love to facilitate processes both online and offline.

Before going into working with thetransitioner (almost 3 yrs ago) I was doing a lot of instructional design for synchronous environments. I really love this work. With thetransitioner I learned to do dynamics that touch the emotions, spirit and mind and also how to help people have a sense of body placement.

One of the universes to be developed in TT is the campus. I have some ideas and a lot of inspiration for it. Wld love to share with you.

I also worked with George Por for about a year. :) Its a small world. I am so happy you arrived to this meadow of TT.
