Therefore\, as Spillian embarks on a master planning effort aimed at guiding its future evolution\, all those interested in learning how to engage regenerative design and development are invited to participate. Accordingly\, the regenerative planning process for this effort at Spillian is being conceived as an instrument for developing regenerative thinking among all of us as members of communities. This process is currently being designed around a series of workshops aimed at building the capacity and capability of all participants and stakeholders to think in an integrative whole-systems way. Three workshops are currently envisioned for the arc of this process: \n• Workshop #1: Find the Essence: A Regenerative Whole-Systems Planning Workshop On\n                                Alignment . . . February 19 -12\, 2016\n• Workshop #2: Goal-Setting . . . dates to be determined\n• Workshop #3: Concept . . . dates to be determined \nAs indicated above\, the first of these workshops is planned for the weekend of  beginning on Friday evening at 5:00 and concluding at 11:30 on Sunday morning. Here’s what we’ll be starting with! \nAlignment Workshop Purpose: \nTo develop and align around the Purpose of creating a place-sourced Master Plan for Spillian and Principles for guiding its development\,\nIn a way that fosters interconnectivity between active participants in a fulfilling co-creative process of regeneration that values the role of all stakeholders\,\nSo that the work of Spillian energizes and empowers stakeholders to continually transform the quality of their lives\, their unique communities\, and beyond indefinitely. \nAlignment Workshop Products: (Targeted Outcomes) \nFunctional \n\nDevelop and align around the Purpose of developing a holistic Master Plan for Spillian\nImage and understand project potential for place-sourced regeneration\n\nAlign around regenerative language and basic frameworks for working effectively\nIdentify current conditions and restraints\n\n\nDevelop and align around value-adding processes (VAPs) to be delivered to stakeholders\n\nIdentify and develop an understanding of core stakeholders\nDevelop Principles for delivering VAPs in balance to each core stakeholder group\n\n\nInvite the fluidity of fun\, play\, bliss\, and a lightness of being\n\nBeing  \n\nExperience a regenerative and collaborative spirit that genuinely values each participant’s role.\nEngage transparent co-exploration and collective discovery of unrealized potential that is sourced from what is unique about this particular community and this particular place.\nInvite the fluidity of fun\, play\, bliss\, and a lightness of being.\n\nWill \nExperience that working on this project will help each of us manifest what we really care about in a meaningful way for ourselves\, our community\, and the larger world. \nProject Aim: \nTo Develop a Master Plan for Spillian as an evolving place for regenerative restoration (across three lines of work) with the creation of a new Performing Arts Pavilion serving as an instrument for developing the next phase of Spillian’s development. \n____________________________________ \nAbout Regenerative Whole-Systems Planning\nEach particular place is alive\, unique and evolving.  If we want to flourish over time\, we must understand that we are in mutually beneficial relationship with each particular place and that humans play a participatory role in the vitality of the living systems in which we are nested. \nThe basis of regenerative whole-systems planning lies in understanding that role through understanding the uniqueness of each place we live and work – and what created and continues to create that unique identity. The cultural environment we call a community is a living system composed of many complex cultural and natural systems that form a web of mutual support. The health of cultural (and economic) systems is ultimately dependent on the health of natural – or living – systems. \nRegenerative planning is rooted in the belief that healthy living systems have an inherent capacity to continually generate new sources of life for and within themselves and their environment – i.e.\, to re-generate. This work is grounded in a philosophy that humans (and human activities) are not apart from the development and ongoing evolution of such healthy living systems; rather\, humans serve a participatory role in their continuing viability and vitality. Through the practice of developing how we are thinking in this way about whole living systems\, any project can be leveraged as a highly effective acupuncture point for helping transform community vitality and regenerating life. \nThere are two interrelated dimensions in this regenerative planning work: \n\nAt its entry level\, Regenerative Design is a practice for reversing the systemic decline in living systems and creating the basis for self-renewing socio-ecological vitality.\n\n\nRegenerative Development is a continual process that builds the capacity\, capability\, and will of stakeholders to serve as co-designers and active participants in the continual evolutionary transformation of their unique place.\n\nRegenerative Development and Design comprises a meta-discipline that combines the pattern thinking and practices of Ecological Design\, Permaculture\, Biophilia\, Organizational Psychology\, Neuroscience\, and Integrative Design. \nThe purpose of regenerative planning is to facilitate and guide the evolution of a place toward its highest creative and productive potential in a way that explores its unique nature and capacities (essence)\, so that planning efforts improve the capability of all living systems (including the larger whole-system in which each place is nested) to evolve towards higher levels of vitality and viability indefinitely. Through a series of workshops\, participants experience this work through highly interactive engagement and discussion around how building and development can be seen as an instrument for healing\, sustaining\, and regenerating the community of life in each unique place by re-membering that we play a participatory role in the vitality of the living systems in which we are nested. \nThe process of working on projects from this whole living-systems perspective shifts the focus of everyone’s attention from simply solving problems and working only on “things” (such as buildings) to seeing any such project as an instrument for working on realizing the highest creative potential of the larger systems in which the project is nested (and inter-dependent). This shift in focus builds an understanding of the particular nature of each unique community/place and the particular reciprocal interrelationships (between human and “natural” systems) that create that uniqueness. \nWorking in this way awakens a deep and caring sense of place that becomes transformational by serving as the source of new community spirit and individual will grounded in what people really care about. Communities all over the world currently engaged in this process are reconciling longstanding deep divisions\, improving the quality of life for all inhabitants (all species)\, and delivering real value to all stakeholders by collaboratively co-creating processes of reciprocal exchange aimed at the health of the whole\, not just the pieces. \n_______________________________ \nAbout John Boecker & Tom Keiter\nJohn Boecker serves as a founding partner in 7group\, an internationally recognized multi-disciplinary consulting firm focused on green and regenerative development.

SUMMARY:Regenerism: Place-Sourced\, Whole Systems Planning | Myth America Radio
DESCRIPTION:Regenerism on the Radio\nJoin Spillian Co-Founder Leigh Melander\, Ph.D. and special guests John Boecker and Tom Keiter of 7Group as we dive deep into the world of renegerism — a next-generation way of thinking about sustainability\, place\, essence\, and how systems work as a whole. \nIf nature is our source for learning how to think systemically about whole living systems and our role in serving the transformation of those systems\, we must understand the ecological worldview that humans are a part of nature\, not apart from it.  At Spillian\, we are engaging with John and Tom as coaches in an amazing regenerative master planning process that has been designed to build the capacity and capability of all of us (as members of communities) to experience how development can be an instrument for healing\, not just doing less damage. \nWe’re offering a workshop in February that will use Spillian as a lab to go deep into how we can define the essence of a place\, its stakeholders and what geniuses they bring and need in a whole-system\, and how we can translate this to our lives\, our communities\, our work\, and our play. And most importantly\, why that matters. This is powerful stuff. \nYou can learn more about John and Tom and this workshop here!  \nBut in the meantime\, please join us Tuesday morning on @WIOX Radio 91.3 FM and streaming worldwide on wioxradio.org  on Tuesday\, January 5\, 2016 at 9 AM ET for what promises to be a powerful\, evocative conversation about place and how we imagine it. \n••••••• \nAbout Myth America\nJoin host Leigh Melander\, Ph.D.\, and her guests from around the world as we explore the powerful\, evocative mythologies that inform who we are.  Myths are the stories that we tell and the stories that tell us.™\nThey are the metaphors that shape our imagination of the world around us. \nThe ancient Greeks said that myths were the things that were most and least true simultaneously. Far from just being a lie\, myths pulse in the background of all of our lives — our selves\, our families\, our communities — we tell ourselves stories about all of them. What are the myths we’re living in and how are they living in us? \nMyth America. 9 AM ET on WIOX 91.3 FM or streaming at http://wioxradio.org/\nA project of Spillian LLC\, a creative center offering programming in imagination\, story\, myth\, sustainability\, and community. \n
