In emergent dialogues the intelligence of the field
becomes part of the conversation. Our different perspectives cohere into a living and united creativity.

Thomas Steininger
What is a Catalyst able to do?

As a Catalyst of Emergent Dialogue, you can open a subtle field of coherence between group participants and work with these capacities to create spaces for transformation that are psycho-active. This means that there is an X-factor involved, a mystery living within and between us, that opens up new potentials for transformation and emergence. We refer to this mystery field as Interbeing. As a Catalyst, you are an instrument of this inexpressible mystery. Aligning with the depth and flow that comes alive in the group, you help the richness and diversity within the group become powerfully synergistic.

How can you develop during the Summer Training Intensive?

The ten days of this Training Intensive will focus most on the development of the trust, sensitivity, and freedom that are foundational for a Catalyst. To have the capacity tap into the intelligence of the field takes a deep knowing—at a cellular, embodied level—that the living field is truly a dimension of perceptible reality. That it is not an idea or an experience that you have now and again. It is real.

During these ten days, we will focus on deepening our capacity to sense the collective presence of the field and the creative impulse arising from it—as Catalysts. When does the field come alive? What causes it to flatten and lose its magic? How do we care for the living space between us? What does that mean?

We will also explore the creative impulse and synergy. How do we distinguish between our own impulses and the impulse coming from the field intelligence? Can we experiment with responding before thought, to catch the wind of emergence?

The content and process of the Intensive will depend on the experience of the participants. The deeper intelligence of our interbeing will guide us.

I want to do what Augustine did as the Roman Empire was falling. He laid the foundation. He laid the cultural cognitive grammar for an entirely different culture and they stole the culture from the bottom-up.

This program is not for everyone.

This Summer Training Intensive is for you, if:

  • You love to work with groups (and have experience leading them—in whatever role or context)
  • You have been part of an emergent dialogue program and want to go further OR you are an experienced facilitator and want to learn to catalyze emergence
  • You have a longing to go beyond… yourself, the usual, the known
  • You are committed to your own development
  • You really know how to let go of your mind
  • You are self-responsible and reflective
  • You enjoy working in flow, flexible with changing plans
  • You want to live in service to something larger than yourself

This Training Intensive may not be for you, if:

  • You only work one-on-one, or don’t work with others in groups
  • You are just starting your work as a facilitator or space holder
  • You haven’t done much meditation or practice that gives you some objectivity on your mind and self-motives
  • You need strong structure from others
  • You are primarily interested in theories or models
  • Your understanding of truth is limited to scientific materialism

If you think you really have to join us this summer, but might not match the profile we are looking for, then talk to us. Tell us why.
