Transformation in Human Systems
Life is becoming more complex, and is constantly changing. New levels
of diversity and complexity continue to perplex and challenge our ways
of understanding "how things work". Whether you're dealing
in human services, running a business for profit or just trying to ‘do
your job’ as best you can, the same issues meet you "face
to face".
The Hermitage Cottage is pleased
to offer a unique context for group meetings that is not only a place
to meet, but also an active encouragement toward inclusion within the
complex and increasingly diverse lives we are now entering in Northern
Ireland.
Introducing:
The Hermitage Cottage Yurt
What is a Yurt?
The
Hermitage Cottage Yurt is available for hire as a meeting space and
classroom and provides a pleasing area for meeting using the long establish
pattern of ‘meeting in circle’. The space serves groups of
up to 35 people. The yurt is also set in a 2 acre garden. It is the
perfect atmosphere for initial meetings, creating ‘breakthrough’
possibilities for business, and provides training space and collective
group reflections. An adjacent walking labyrinth is also available for
team building use.
It is a Neutral Space and provides a unique possibility for ‘Meeting
in Circle’.

The only Yurt in Northern Ireland
~a unique meeting space
The
Hermitage Cottage Yurt is a modern adaptation of the ancient circular
shelter used by Central Asian nomads for centuries. The compact shape
of the yurt and combination of lightweight members in tension and compression
mean that the structure is highly efficient in maximizing strength while
minimizing the use of materials. Heated with an environmentally friendly
air cooled heat pump and carpeted throughout, the Yurt provides a conducive
atmosphere for many learning modes and for open dialogue.

Organisational Integral Assessment
Organisational Assessment offers your organisation a useful tool for
securing transformative change in your group, your company and quite
personally, in your own life.
As a member of the Pacific Integral Network, I endeavour to ascertain
patterns that work within the organization, those that may be hindering
you reaching your goals, and possibilities for creating a context for
positive and effective action that serves every one and the whole endeavour
simultaneously.
Pacific Integral works with both
individuals and organizations that are committed to the emergence of
a sustainable, equitable and beautiful future for humanity. (www.pacificintegral.com)
The purpose of Pacific Integral is to build the capacity in individuals,
groups, organizations and institutions around the world to generate
integral, transformational development in human systems.
Multiple Bottom Lines
|
A new programme on offer to
businesses and organizations to assist in this fast paced Northern
Irish changing work scene.
Any business or organization
looks to achieve success by focussing on ‘the bottom line’
~ the profit or service provided.
|
 |
Introducing Multiple Bottom Lines
Multiple Bottom Lines are braided
together into one resulting phenomenon. No one bottom line speaks to
the total reality of any business or organisation
Multiple Bottom Lines :: The Crucial
Questions
1) Quality of Product or Programme:
does the business serve something beyond itself in the world? Does it
offer MEANING MAKING for those it serves? Human beings necessitate meaning
in their lives. Large portions of their lives are spent at work. Can
meaning be found there?
If there is meaning produced in
the product or service of the organisation, are the organisation’s
own processes in alignment with the product?
2) In this organisation are we EVOLVING
as INDIVIDUALS by working here? Are we meeting our own personal goals
by working here? Would I want to work here? Quality of Life
Is a personally balanced life encouraged
by working in this business?
3) ‘Work Community ‘ involves
relationships outside our immediate work place ~ suppliers, clients,
service industry, etc
By analogy, ’MAKING LOVE’ is the bottom line with all we supply
and are supplied by. Ask, would I want to supply this business?
4) Profit Bottom Line ~ the OXYGEN
that makes the rest of the company grow. In balance with other bottom
lines, modest profit growth goals are quite possible and exceedingly
beneficial for the ‘whole show’
Process of integrating these four
bottom lines begins when awareness of the integrating process is conscious.
Create a business in which a whole
human being can engage in the business and not feel personally violated.
How do we do any of this? By learning
to take on the role of the Other, step outside ourself and our perspectives

Through the Wardrobe
Pacific Integral June 13-14, 2006
Chippenham, Wiltshire, England
www.pacificintegral.com
Through the Wardrobe is a two-day
experiential workshop that presents grounded, practical application
of the Integral perspective to organizational change. The Integral model,
which essentially allows for and integrates the contributions of all
perspectives, theories, and practices, is a profoundly encompassing
framework that seems to greatly broaden our view of organisational challenges.
Yet, it speaks little about practical
application. How do we take an integral perspective and allow it to
inform our organisational interventions? This is the inquiry we began
over ten years ago and one we are still engaged in. We invite you to
join us, learn from our experience, and inquire with us. Based on over
a decade of work applying leading methodologies for change through an
integral framework for assessment, design and intervention in human
systems
