Spirals over the Lone Star

SDi Level Two Certification and 10th ANNUAL SDi CONFAB

May 28-31, 2009
Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas

The 10th Annual Spiral Dynamics Confab at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport promises to be the most impactful and relevant “Gathering of the Spiral Wizards” so far in a decade of shared specialized applications of the Clare W. Graves conceptual model.

This milestone event will present the new Spiral Dynamics 4.0 developmental model, along with a myriad of new programs and activities from around the world.

CONFAB THEME

The enriched Level Two Confab will focus on two themes.

First : “Cultural Dynamics and Nation-Building:  A Large-Scale Psychology Perspective on Design, Change, and Transformation.”

This new body of knowledge will focus on ways to impact large-scale systems – cultures, movements, religions, cities, regions, countries – to first identify the deepest values system Codes that lie at the core, and then, through Natural Design principles and processes, construct the appropriate economic, political, educational and social systems and structures to meet the needs of citizens.

This will include:

• The use of Global Values Monitors, with reports from  Russia, Iceland, Mexico, Chile, and elsewhere
• New understanding of the patterns of change and transformation in whole societies
• The 10 Conditions for Large-Scale Systems Change
• Early developments in the mind-brain research now being done at the University of Cologne in Germany using Spiral Dynamics categories and codes
• New experiences in working with cities from Dr. Marilyn Hamilton, author of Integral City:  Evolutionary Intelligences for the Human Hive
• Fresh reports from Israel-Palestine with new potential for designing a two-state solution (from Elza Maalouf)
• The role of modern dance in teaching Spiral Dynamics, involving the innovative dance team from the Netherlands and Estonia
• Powerful insights into the role of memetics in creating the global financial crisis (from Said Dawlabani)

Using our Live Wire teleconferencing technology, we will bring the world to bear on cultural dynamics—and on what is next for us to become as people. We will take a glimpse into what is slightly beyond tomorrow and search for ways to apply Spiral Dynamics thinking and models along the spectrum of human emergence. You will learn low to influence whole countries, movements, cultures, cities, etc., as the new Large-Scale Psychology concept begins to unfold. We will use simulations, scenarios, and action teams to get at the “DNA”-like core issues and problems. We will use MeshWorks and Transpartisan Processes to map out and design Functional Flow templates, enhanced by our new “Bar-Code” Technology.

The second focus of this year’s Confab will include state-of-the-art Train the Trainer experiences led by Dr. Marilyn Hamilton, Dr. Bruce Gibb, and their team of colleagues from Canada. If you want to learn how to present the Spiral Dynamics body of knowledge in a user-friendly and sophisticated manner, with a full array of presentational skills and techniques, you will want to attend this session. Marilyn and Bruce are two of the most experienced and knowledgeable veterans in this area and you will benefit immensely from time spent with them and others who were in their trainer program in Canada.

This will be a Confab you won’t easily forget.

Financial down-turns are the time when many begin to prepare for the “up-turn,” to deal with the major changes that are in the offing. This is such a time. We are keeping costs low. The airlines have lowered their fares, and the Confab will be full of new learning and practical solutions to many of our unique problems. The SDi Level One Foundations has also been revamped and upgraded following many years of experience in teaching the material in a host of different cultures and languages.
