Coherence - meta-mapping a new paradigm quality
Coherence matters: the term coherence keeps appearing in many different contexts, areas of knowledge and socio-political topics. At the same time, the felt sense of coherence seems to be something everyone is able to perceive and also act on.
While my natural scientist’s soul likes to get data, definitions, overview and meta-maps, the integral practitioner is interested in sensing and understanding the inner workings of the complexity of life.
The colloquium therefore proposes my work in progress on that topic. It will look at the many angles from which coherence can be viewed, and invites participants into an interactive journey to create, collect and explore unexpected questions.
As the research on the new paradigm of politics within the EU-Project LIFT Politics seems to point to coherence as an important quality, the last part of the Colloquium provides a space to make sense of coherence in the social and political field.
