Principles for a Planet of Cities underlie the Intelligences that enable the generation of Capitals for the Human Hive. Principles for Planet of Cities I have written extensively about the Intelligences that are needed to consciously and conscientiously evolve any given city. Much of the literature on sustainability has addressed the Capitals of [...]
This exploration of core principles that can inform a Planet of Cities, needs to be unpacked in two ways so it is useful for our inquiry. First let's define what a principle is and second let's set the scope of what we will consider in this series of explorations. We start with the definition. Oxford Online [...]
In the next series of blogs I'd like to point to core principles that could inform a Planet of Integral Cities. The first place I start is with Planet. Bucky Fuller called our Planet, Spaceship Earth. This draws my attention to the family of planets we belong to orbiting in our Solar System, within our [...]
Within the living human hive, spiritual communities have the special purview of being habitats that grow caring capacity and also create the conditions to reflect on caring. Spiritual Garden of Gaia's Reflective Organ They are purpose-gathered to bring people together for spiritual experience, awareness, caring, sharing and development. As such, I suggest that [...]
We are starting a new set of Integral City learning (ad)ventures. We call them Learning Lhabitats. Learning Laboratories and Habitats are being designed for people who sense a new Integrator Role is emerging in cities. They know MUCH change is needed and MANY voices are clamouring for attention. Those concerns lead to key questions, city [...]
What is the equivalent for the Human Hive of producing 40 pounds of honey in the bee hive? That is the question that I have been inquiring into through the lenses of bio-psycho-cultural-social-mimicry. In the generative seed bed of my recent visit to San Francisco, glimpses of the ingredients for producing "Honey" in our Human [...]
It's an honour and privilege to celebrate the inauguration of HUB Oakland, on this Easter weekend (march 29, 2013). In Canada this Good Friday, is a statutory holiday. Here in California, today it will be remembered as the opening of something very special - the HUB will be generating energy that will wake up all of Oakland [...]
For the first time in history, the women in the developed world are noticing that they have the power to tap into state stage wisdom. In an era where so much that is invisible technologically has been released in service to human survival and evolution, perhaps women are sensing a less threatening environment where their [...]
Continuing on the theme of Regenerativity, I remember well how 4 women (1) from a Saeculum (2) of Generations shared their Gifts to the Future Generations (at the World Future Society 2011). We called it BIRTHING NEW OPENINGS FOR LIFE . Recognizing that we have arrived at the 4th turning of the Planetary Shift, we designed a [...]
Regenerativity in the Human Hive is a quality shared by everyone - not just a special "Creative Class". The first day of Spring (in the northern hemisphere) or Fall (in the southern hemisphere) can especially remind us of how the power of creativity is regenerative for all the roles in the human hive. It is [...]
