From entrenched opinions to creating a future together: introducing the “Assembly” process

with Caroline Päkel

Description

At a time of extreme societal and political fragmentation and polarisation, we need collective coherence and synergy in order to agree on ways to reshape or recreate our common future. Whatever your role in the institutions where decisions are made about our future, you can be part of this.


The “Assembly” process is a way of bringing meaningful and effective dialogue into any conversation, meeting or negotiation. It enables people from all walks of life and political affiliations to listen and share from the heart, bringing everyone to a place of service for the good and wellbeing of all. Come and get a taste of its transformative power!


Caroline Päkel, an experienced generative dialogue practitioner, will first share her rich and diverse experiences of bringing people from different cultures, traditions, socio-economic backgrounds, and places of power and influence together; and of holding a dialogic space for them to truly meet and move together into the future. She will then take us into an Assembly experience together.

About Caroline Päkel

Caroline Päkel’s main purpose today is to bring generative dialogue to the community, wherever it needs it.

Generative dialogue – as initiated by the Bohmian tradition and evolved by the Theory U/Presencing network, and also found in the Quaker tradition of “creative listening” represents a field of extensive experimentation over the last 20 years of her facilitation practice.


Caroline’s experience includes consulting for some of the largest organisations in the world, bringing storytelling to the board level. At Davos in 2020 she held intimate spaces for people with power and influence to help them find the courage to act in the face of the current polycrisis. In 2019 she ran large scale dialogic assemblies for local councils and at the UK Houses of Parliament. She is currently guiding the creation of a global community of land stewards conserving and restoring natural environments.
