===== Luminous Green 2010 Harvest: What could a resilient luminous green worlds be like?
 =====

==== From the dialogues on personal resilience... ====


   * small examples create big change
   * openness to accept difficult factors that will allow you to change
   * crisis helps us to change
   * transferability of skills
   * resilience in the face of death: acceptance of death helps us overcome it
   * letting go
   * radical curiosity
   * sometimes we need to leave a system, for it to change
   * goal->obstacle often leads to better things
   * sometimes change is painful

==== Juicy questions, between luminosity & resilience... ====


   * How do we give up being what we are to continue being?
   * How can we live in the present culture differently?
   * Can you hold / be with uncertainty?
   * How could we ask the right questions (toolkits, models of resilience, learning from others)?
   * What can we learn across fields (with regards to resilient systems)?
   * How do we create an explosion of multiple tactics, approaches etc. to get to a resilient Luminous Green - that can multiply forever (e.g. 100 000 years), but that can also change?
   * How does resilience change practices, design & communication of our ideas, objects & obstacles?
   * How do we find ways to experience the fragility, rigidity and stretch of ecosystems?
   * How do we create healthy, resilient, luminous green evolving rituals that encourage us to take responsibility for our own actions?
   * Pruning: should we - and if so, how do we decide when to remove a branch - is it dead, can it sprout elsewhere?
   * Why are the Beatles and Elvis fragile, but David Bowie and Trent Reznor resilient?
   * Where is the home-brew resilience club?
   * Where is the money (qui boon)?
   * Let's develop a handbook of resilient frameworks (core identity, ethics, diversity & nutrition, neuroscience…)!
   * Who are resilience experts?
   * What kind of ethics do we use to select appropriate resilient systems?
   * What can we learn about resilience from examining feminine & masculine values / matriarchal & patriarchal societies?
  * How do we nourish an ecology of resilient systems?

== Poetry of Witness - Against Forgetting (Carolyn Forche) ==

host: Maureen 
  * participants: Thomas, Cocky, Theun, Angelo

Discussed: 
Poetry as witness to a "third space" between personal and political - the social
unique observations/abilities. Resisting erasure of certain experiences on the junction of personal/political
recognising observation itself as an event, by objectifying it. At the same time having space and capacity to embrace contradiction, otherness, ugliness, trauma, diversity, RESILIENCE

      * US university models (social capital)

   * Breaking dichotomies of teacher/student - expert/novice - empowerment
   * Teaching to learn IS learning to teach

   * teaching to learn: responsibility to participate, e.g. documentation, proposing lessons, anarchic structure, skills vs titles gained

   * learning to teach:  writing skills for new contexts, knowledge work, technical skillsharing, dynamic style, taking an authoritative role

=== 3 - GOVERNANCE ===
