A space for Continued inquiry & Practice

Continued Circles of Inquiry

The intention with OD for Life is to host a regular space for connection, exchange and support in virtual spaces. These spaces, inspired by the Inquiry Circles we hosted in 2020, carry the spirit of a 'sangha' — a safe time and community for listening, exchange and mutual growth.

The sessions themselves will be light, making room for conversation as well as gentle practices including nature connection and meditation in small, 'bite-sized' pieces.

The intention is also to keep these sessions flexible, open to joining whenever feels right, rather than a fixed, linear process. This will also create space for emergence around how we might grow as a community of practice.

The flow of inquiry circles for 2022 is rooted around four aspects of 'thrivability (inspired by our own Michelle Holliday's work in this area):

  • Aligning with Life

  • Sensing Convergence

  • Designing for Flow

  • Inviting Divergence


UPCOMING INQUIRY CIRCLES

March 30th: Sensing convergence

4-6 PM CET, Online

With all that is happening right now - what is being asked of us? What is our collective calling? What is ours to contribute to our clients, to society and to all life? What do we want to stand for?


Through these questions we ground ourselves in a stance of stewardship. We explore that what we are ‘developing’ in organisational development is life and its ability to thrive. With these conversations we work towards ingredients for the OD for life manifesto which we will design in our face-to-face gathering in May.


Who is this session for?

Some of you have joined the Inquiry Circles last year, the online gathering in December and/or will join us at the in-person gathering in May in the Netherlands. Also for those who are new to this movement, you are warmly invited to join us around the fire.


Contribution: we invite you to make a contribution at whatever level feels right to you in the spirit of supporting the soil-building work of this movement.
