Paul Goodison blogs this extract from a site on co-intelligence.
Co-intelligence is the capacity to live well WITH each other and life, creatively using diversity and uniqueness, consciously evolving together in partnership with nature, and consciously transforming culture. Co-intelligence is intrinsic in all living systems and can always be improved. Use it for organizational development, better family relations, community renewal, and creating a more just, democratic and sustainable society.
This is very much the theme of the work I do using Improvisation; getting people to create collectively something that is much more that the sum of their individual thoughts and ideas. It’s a practice that celebrates diversity and empowers everyone to see that they are part of a creative process.
