Community Conference – The Power of Collective Intelligence
(in retrospect) Berlin, July 3 – 6, 2008
In Berlin 135 participants from 8 countries and a team of 18 people experienced together three days of 'Community Conference – the Power of Collective Intelligence', which Thomas Hübl, Kosha Joubert and François Wiesmann had initiated.
For many people the words 'wisdom' or 'intelligence' evoke an intellectual aptitude or endeavour. However, the term Collective Wisdom as we understand it, also comprises the emotional, intuitive and social intelligence, e.g. the way all parties concerned cooperate, their openness and honesty, their ability to perceive themselves as a part of a whole, their dedication to the whole. All this – and more – is part of the emerging space of collective wisdom.
We understand it as an adventure of intimate human cooperation and as a potential of humankind that shines from the future out to us.
Four aspects took centre stage during the conference:
- Transcendence: A higher common focus supports us in experiencing synergy in groups
- Interpersonal Clarity: Transparent communication leads to a higher level of awareness in our social systems
- Economic Foundation: Manifestation of projects on solid financial ground
- Service to the World: Supporting the evolutionary development of the whole
During these three days we were able to directly experience collective wisdom in our way of being and working together. The participants were invited to incorporate their contribution to the wisdom of the whole. Core presentations, meditations and the 'World Café'-method accompanied us in our joint process.
