WARNING: Herein is a rather lengthy reply ---------------------------------<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
The relationship between:<BR>
(7) Living in OS as an integral wellness practice for the transformation of (individual and<BR>
collective ) consciousness — Self | Other | The Whole<BR>
(8) Radiant Networking — Practices of Peace — Integral Wellness <BR>
is that #7 is the "lived into" experience, and #8 is the current manifested forms.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
What follows is explanatory material regarding: <BR>
* Radiant Networking<BR>
* Practice of Peace<BR>
* Integral Wellness<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
You has asked for an explanation of "Radiant Networking". <BR>
This definition was first codified from a pilot implemented in 2004 by Anne Stadler, <BR>
Candi Foon, and myself in 2004.<BR>
<BR>
The pure definition of "Radiant Networking" is: <BR>
Radiant Networking is a gift exchange, honoring, supporting, <BR>
and amplifying the life force in any situation, relationship, or <BR>
place on the planet.<BR>
<BR>
The Process of "Radiant Networking" is:<BR>
* Traveling teams consisting of people available to assist --<BR>
for whom the "calling activity" has heart and meaning -- <BR>
all responding to trandscendent guidance of compassion and wisdom.<BR>
* Teams or persons living in a place who are listening for and <BR>
supporting indigenous leadership and evolving possibilities,<BR>
<BR>
The Form of "Radiant Networking" involves:<BR>
* Assembling traveling teams qualified in leadership, diplomacy, facilitation,<BR>
relationship management, spiritual development, . . .<BR>
* Sending traveling teams to sites where projects/activities are occurring<BR>
* Convening and/or facilitating meetings in support of the projects/activities<BR>
* Using the meetings/seminars and travel to develop local leadership capacity<BR>
of supported organizations and projects/activities<BR>
* Providing follow-up as required / requested<BR>
* Developing and maintaining website which contains resources, stories, tools, <BR>
and interactive connectivity supporting and amplifying projects and activities <BR>
* Fund-raising comes from travel team members, supported projects/activities,<BR>
and philanthropic entities<BR>
* Travel team members and philanthropic entities are the organization members<BR>
<BR>
The Inquiry that one uses for discerning "Radiant Networking" activities is:<BR>
* Does this have heart and meaning for me ? <BR>
* Does working with this configuration of people have heart and meaning for me ? <BR>
* In what ways does this have heart and meaning for the people proposing it ? <BR>
* What "guidance" has been received regarding this project ?<BR>
* What is the life force potential in the situation ? <BR>
* Is there local leadership and resource capacity to carry it off ? <BR>
* What is the model for generating wealth and wellness ? <BR>
* In what ways is the wealth model a gift exchange ? <BR>
* How does the wealth model create sustainable abundance ? <BR>
* What is the plan for communicating the learning worldwide ?<BR>
<BR>
The Funding Strategy for Sustaining "Radiant Networking" is:<BR>
When you receive money as a gift for assisting someone thru "Radiant Networking",<BR>
<BR>
Ask the following:<BR>
* What % goes to supporting "Radiant Networking" (the "Fund") ?<BR>
* What % goes to you? <BR>
* What % goes to an organization of your choice in "Radiant Networking" ? <BR>
<BR>
Then distribute the resources accordingly.<BR>

Inspired by what Peggy Holman was doing in 2003 regarding implementing a new<BR>
community-held form of Harrison's "The Practice of Peace", I put together a <BR>
Buddhist dharma piece on the "Practice of Peace" as a spiritual practice. <BR>
Candi Foon and I then built experiments around it. This is now my personal <BR>
practice for embodying the practice of "Radiant Networking".<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
THE PRACTICE OF PEACE<BR>
<BR>
“THE VIEW”<BR>
My view of “the world”, including my delusions and distortions about reality, myself, and others —<BR>
➢ The view (“drishti”) as the unification of my spiritual intentions, mental discipline, energy,<BR>
attention, and tenacity in living my life subordinated to The Practice of Peace by:<BR>
o Directly discovering and understanding my own true natural state<BR>
o Attaining stability and vanquishing doubt in my direct experience<BR>
o Achieving confidence in liberation through constant integration<BR>
➢ The tactical view which considers the effects of my karma extending out at least seven<BR>
generation<BR>
➢ The Bodhisattva Vow which is sourced from the View that <BR>
From now until reaching perfect understanding,<BR>
For the benefit of all sentient beings without exception;<BR>
I shall engage in the practice of the direct experience of Life — day and night. <BR>
Sentient beings are numberless: I vow to liberate them.<BR>
Delusions are inexhaustible: I vow to transcend them.<BR>
The teachings are boundless: I vow to master them.<BR>
“Presence” is unsurpassable: I vow to embody it !<BR>
<BR>
“THE MEDITATION” (Intention)<BR>
My engagement in contemplation to purify and remedy my mind in order to manifest my highest view —<BR>
➢ Metta: The practice of Loving-Kindness — <BR>
The Heart / Mind becomes unconditionally open, encompassing all that<BR>
is, as it really is, with acceptance, awareness, and compassion<BR>
➢ Vajra-Metta (Tong-Len): The practice of Loving-Kindness employing subtle energy<BR>
➢ Moksha: The practice and direct experience of “Presence” <BR>
<BR>
“THE ACTION” (Speech | Behavior | Livelihood | Effort)<BR>
My communications, behaviors, and pursuits which manifest my highest intention —<BR>
➢ Yoga: The discipline and practice of living my life subordinated to my highest intention<BR>
o Sight: Mandala and Art <BR>
o Sound Mantra (Chanting) and Music <BR>
o Movement: “Yoga” and Dance and Sports <BR>
o Physical Health: Diet and Breath and Exercise <BR>
o Mental health: Mental and Emotional Attunement <BR>
o Integration: Family and Livelihood and Community and Theater<BR>
➢ Life: The direct experience of living my life subordinated to my highest intention<BR>
o Basing my conduct on the practice of Generosity <BR>
o Demonstrating consistent Ethical Discipline <BR>
o Embracing and encouraging Patience <BR>
o Exemplifying Diligence <BR>
o Being Mindful — fully present and aware of myself, others, and each situation / moment <BR>
o Cultivating personal and collective Discriminating Insight <BR>
o Developing and exercising Skillful Means in all situations <BR>
o Demonstrating and encouraging Compassion <BR>
o Developing and exercising Inner Strength <BR>
o Continually developing my Awareness <BR>
➢ Relationship: The practice of “Presence” in my spiritual efforts to open and awaken <BR>
my heart and mind to – self, family, work, community, world, and all sentient beings <BR>
<BR>

"Integral Wellness" was the result of collaboration of Candi S. Foon, Michael <BR>
Lindfield, Mark Yeoell, and myself (Mark R. Jones) when we <BR>
founded the Integral Wellness Group in Seattle, WA. The Integral <BR>
Wellness Group (IWG) came together in 2005 because each of us as <BR>
founding partners had observed, and were concerned about the <BR>
“tragedy of our healthcare system”. We concluded that the U.S. <BR>
healthcare system was dysfunctional and was damaging consumers <BR>
(patients), employers, taxpayers, government, insurers, and healthcare <BR>
service providers. It occurred to us that our healthcare systems were <BR>
in danger of permanently undermining the well-being of our nation <BR>
through our individual attitudes and behaviors, and through our <BR>
collective policies and practices. We were further dismayed to discover <BR>
that healthcare was not systematically targeted at high-leverage <BR>
opportunities — according to AHRQ MEPS 1999 healthcare resource <BR>
usage demographics data: <BR>
* 1% of the population uses 27% of the healthcare resources<BR>
* 5% of the population uses 55% of the healthcare resources<BR>
* 44% of the population uses 15% of the healthcare resources<BR>
* 34% of the population uses 3% of the healthcare resources<BR>
* 16% of the population uses 0% of the healthcare resources<BR>
<BR>
When I presented Anne Stadler with our deliberations, she immediately went<BR>
into "Just Do It" mode with me -- so I figured that we better do it :-) <BR>
<BR>
IWG determined that well-crafted “wellness programs” could offer an <BR>
effective means of increasing overall wellness in populations, managing <BR>
healthcare costs, and increasing happiness and productivity.<BR>
<BR>
We began exploring the establishment of "Integral Wellness Centers" as a<BR>
means of delivering our integral wellness programs and establishing<BR>
integral wellness communities that were dedicated to "Health Resource<BR>
Optimization".<BR>
<BR>
We have framed our work around principles of a "Health Resource <BR>
Optimization" paradigm:<BR>
<BR>
* Health is a generative, sustainable, and renewable Resource<BR>
* Health is a natural resource with profound economic implications<BR>
* Health is an economic resource with profound cultural implications<BR>
* Health is a cultural resource with profound political implications<BR>
* Health is a political resource with profound social implications<BR>
* Health is a social resource with a profound impact on the world<BR>
* The Health Resource is abundant and affordable for everyone<BR>
* Wellness means individually and collectively taking responsibility <BR>
for Self, Other. and the Whole<BR>
* Healthy lifestyle adoption and sustainability is greatly enhanced by <BR>
the company of others. “Community” is more powerful than individual <BR>
effort. This is an effective antidote to recidivism.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Our "one pager" lays it out as follows -----------------<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
INTEGRAL WELLNESS GROUP<BR>
<BR>
Integral Wellness Group is a consulting firm and Management & Integration (M&I) <BR>
Contractor that specializes in working on high-leverage, high-impact problems -- like<BR>
healthcare. <BR>
<BR>
Our efforts provoke profound shifts in individual and organizational consciousness -- <BR>
where "Consciousness" is the awareness, assumptions, and beliefs that people use <BR>
(knowingly or unknowingly), that shape what and how they think, say, and do in our <BR>
relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them.<BR>
<BR>
Albert Einstein said that “You cannot solve a problem at the same level it was created. <BR>
You have to go to a higher level.” At the IWG, we translate and understand Einstein’s <BR>
wisdom to mean: You cannot solve a problem at the same level of consciousness that <BR>
created it. You have to go to a higher level of consciousness and transform it.<BR>
<BR>
IWG "Human Technologies" provoke breakthroughs in clarity, trust, and innovation --<BR>
using insights, processes, systems, and tools that transform consciousness through<BR>
the integration of the five interrelated Human Technologies approaches:<BR>
(1) Consciousness (Self-Awareness)<BR>
(2) Whole-Person (physical | emotional | intellectual | consciousness)<BR>
(3) Whole-System (all Stakeholders)<BR>
(4) Community | Relationships (Interconnectedness)<BR>
(5) Whole-Life Cycle (Continuity)<BR>
<BR>
The four current partners of IWG each contribute essential experience and skills that make<BR>
IWG an effective consulting firm and Management & Integration (M&I) Contractor. Each<BR>
partner has extensive experience working with executive management, and throughout the<BR>
entire client organization. Two members have themselves served in executive capacities.<BR>
<BR>
* Mark R. Jones, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) — Integral Wellness Group<BR>
-- Large-Scale Systems Integration & Enterprise Management<BR>
-- Organizational & Operational Effectiveness & Efficiency<BR>
-- Informatics<BR>
<BR>
* Candi S. Foon, Chief Operations Officer (COO) — Integral Wellness Group<BR>
-- Consumer & Employee Relations<BR>
-- Personal Development & Effectiveness <BR>
-- Wellness Services & Management<BR>
<BR>
* Mark Yeoell, Chief Personal Development Officer (CPDO) — Integral Wellness Group<BR>

<BR>
* Michael Lindfield, Chief Practice Officer (CPO) — Integral Wellness Group<BR>
-- Community Development & Capacity-Building<BR>
-- Organizational Development & Effectiveness <BR>
-- Board Development & Governance<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
As a consulting firm and Management & Integration (M&I) Contractor, <BR>
IWG has identified its areas of interest as:<BR>
* Wellness & Healthcare<BR>
* Food<BR>
* Energy<BR>
* Water<BR>
* Infrastructure (Spiritual | Information | Physical | Social | Economic)<BR>
<BR>
We have been exploring opportunities for collaboration in investigating <BR>
and discovering the benefits of implementing healthcare strategies based <BR>
on individual (personal) and collective (community) awareness and <BR>
responsibility. For our part, we use a whole-systems design and whole-<BR>
person approach to optimize wellness through prevention and <BR>
intervention. Our hypothesis is that we can positively impact health <BR>
and wellness measures and metrics by leveraging our insights and <BR>
processes. The results of such investigations would be intended to <BR>
measure the effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of comprehensive integral <BR>
wellness approaches. <BR>

<BR>
Hi Glory.<BR>
<BR>
The beauty of the work back then was that I was fully-embedded in organizations in senior management roles. As part of a commitment Anne Stadler and I had made to exploring what it meant to “live our lives in Open Space”, I had decided to experiment with leading and managing my organizations “in Open Space”. <BR>
<BR>
This meant that along with doing on average bi-weekly OS events for various organizations — for-profit and non-profits — I conducted my leadership teams, program and project teams, and Lean Kaizens (12 per week on average across my “span of control”), staffs, and work groups in Open Space. I carefully and subtly trained my staff and organizations to function in Open Space.<BR>
<BR>
Some cool observations from the experiments:<BR>
* With teams conversant in trying to “Live in Open Space”, I found that I and they could convene <BR>
profound and productive “spaces” as short as fifteen minutes, and as long as several months<BR>
— yes, in corporate settings<BR>
* In 1997 I blended “Living in Open Space” with principles from Buddhist living to build a<BR>
team (and set of organizations) that could eliminate a “$3million” a day production problem. <BR>
It took about six weeks for folks to really get it — and when they did, they not only solved the<BR>
production problem but innovated a set of processes and tools that are still in use today<BR>
* In 2000, I tried the blended approach in the bowels of the US Government. About three<BR>
to four months into the experiment, a Government manager exclaimed that “we” had been<BR>
doing that “Open Space stuff”. I had never used the term “Open Space” in that setting. <BR>
Apparently folks got curious about what they were experiencing in the daily life of the<BR>
organization and started to research what it might be. And discovered that in fact we had <BR>
been conducting our work in Open Space. This came as quite a surprise to some of the “OD”<BR>
folks who had “made up their minds” about things like OST and AI — without ever (knowingly)<BR>
participating in them.<BR>
* Working with the CEO (who was my boss) from my previous company, my job was to infuse<BR>
and embody a “”Living in Open Space” practice into our work force, and particularly our<BR>
executive decision-making processes (think “off-sites”). I watched as this contributed <BR>
to our financial success as an organization, and allowed me the financial option to “retire”<BR>
from the “rat race” and explore living my life in Open Space in the service of the transformation<BR>
of consciousness. Which is what I do nowadays !<BR>
<BR>
In the seventies I spent five years living in an intentional community (7x24 residential community). We did not “Live in Open Space” -- yet the experience profoundly positively shaped my life. I had an extended family that had experimented with convening itself ala OS-like Law and Principles for a number of years. Anne Stadler suggested that the next experiment should be an intentional community based on “Living in Open Space”. So she founded the “Spirited Work Community” in 1999. With that, our focus (Anne and I) changed from predominantly organization-oriented OS to community-oriented OS. And I drastically reduced the pace and my involvement in OST events. This experiment led us to India in 2001, and later again in 2004 with an expanded configuration that included Peggy Holman. The 2001 trip brought about the establishment of the Radiant Networking” experiment — which continues to this day, and shapes the work and participation of Anne, Peggy, and myself (individually and collectively).<BR>
<BR>
In the nineties, the “pace” was exciting and profoundly meaningful to me. And eventually, I felt that I had pretty much “mined the goodies” — I was no longer being surprised and growing from the experiments. The results were always positive and always the same — which was good — but I needed to find the next learning and growth edge. I kept notebooks to track and map my experiments.<BR>
<BR>
My experimental trajectory regarding Open Space progressed from Item-1 to Item-8:<BR>
(1) OST for the increased effectiveness of individuals <BR>
(2) Living in OS for the evolution and transformation of individual consciousness<BR>
(3) OST for the increased effectiveness of groups and organizations <BR>
(4) Living in OS for the evolution and transformation of organizational consciousness<BR>
(5) OST for the increased effectiveness of communities <BR>
(6) Living in OS for the evolution of collective (“Community”) consciousness<BR>
(7) Living in OS as an integral wellness practice for the transformation of (individual and<BR>
collective ) consciousness — Self | Other | The Whole<BR>
(8) Radiant Networking — Practices of Peace — Integral Wellness <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
“Pace” drove both Anne and I to our explorations of what I call “efficiency”:<BR>
What is the minimum necessary but sufficient gentle structure upon which we can hang things ?<BR>
<BR>
Harrison sometimes frames this as “what is one less thing to do?”<BR>
Peggy sometimes frames this as “what is the basic underlying pattern?”<BR>
Tom Atlee sometimes frames this as discerning “pattern languages” <BR>
Anne has taken this to the simple inquiry of “what is optimal . . . “<BR>
<BR>
Based on conversations that Peggy, Tom, Chris Corrigan and I have had — I suspect that the more one mucks — with intention and intensity — with Open Space, the more Open Space becomes a “life practice” for everyday living and community. And one becomes even more appreciative of the experience — thus the more deeply and pervasively one mucks with it. Nowadays, I rarely refer to Open Space Technology, for me Open Space has simply become a way of living.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the compassionate and inviting asking !<BR>
