'STAGE CHANGE'

HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY CHANGE COLOR?

by Dieuwke Begemann

CHE Salon 3 February 2020 19 - 21.30h

We are often and increasingly confronted with people who think very differently than we do. That then raises the question of how to agree or sometimes how to make them change their mind. In Integral Theory, this question is interpreted as: how can people change color?

Ken Wilber distinguishes States and Stages from consciousness. Examples of States are waking, or dreaming or hallucinating, etc. Stages are the colours: at what stage of development is consciousness? Wilber adds that States can change and change (unfortunately a moment of enlightenment is not permanent) but Stages are irreversible, you can't go back.

So how come people change color?

How can you promote that?

Those are the questions that Dieuwke Begemann will answer with us in this salon.

Dieuwke Begemann is a change expert, author of the book Natural Change, certified SD trainer (Don Beck) and has hosted a reading club about Integral Theory for 10 years. 

By guiding changes in the field of international conflicts, harmonization of government policy, organization and personal development, she brings a very broad experience and her sensitivity to the way in which changes (spontaneously) come about. Extensive bio (in English) below.

The idea for this Salon arose in contact with Peter Merry about a recently written essay 'STAGE CHANGE' by Dieuwke. 

You are cordially invited to explore together how we can promote 'change of colour'. You are also welcome without knowledge of SDi and Integral Theory. If you want, it might be useful to read something about this in advance. Which can here. In here for an 'integral tour'.
