Learning Lhabitats: How to Start Small and Get Things Going?

Posted in Emergence, Lifecycle, tagged , , , , , on May 15, 2013 | 3 Comments »


We are starting a new set of Integral City learning (ad)ventures. We call them Learning Lhabitats.

Lhab Jungle

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 Integrator Alain Vol,z asked me when I was in the Netherlands in April. Here’s the conversation we had.

A. So where to start and get things going?

IC: We think the place to start is with your self. What is your passion? Why do you feel called to step into an Integrator Role? How can your passion be in service to the greatest needs of the Human Hive?

A: Why look at the city as a Human Hive? What value does it add?

IC: Looking at the city as a human hive re-frames it from a built environment into a living system full of dynamic relationships. Each person contributes soul and role as they interact to achieve goals. The goals can be located with family in the home; e.g. putting dinner on the table. With friends at play; e.g. enjoying sports and recreation. With colleagues at work; e.g. serving customers and earning profits. With neighbours in the community; e.g. sharing a community garden. With the civil society; e.g. feeding the homeless. With civic managers; e.g. deciding on new health policies.

The value of looking at the city as a human hive is that we gain an understanding of how interconnected we are with everyone else in the city and that it makes “common sense” to work to create and share a common vision and goals. That way we can align our energies without alienating our creativity. Thinking of ourselves as a human hive gives us the keys to resilience and adaptiveness.

A. How can we take first steps on a small-scale from the perspective of the Human Hive? Where is it being applied?

IC: The first steps are to start to think in terms of the city-scale. We need to see that the city is a human system in the living system that is Gaia. Human hives are Gaia’s “reflective organs“. As individuals we are cells in Gaia’s reflective organ. We can start first with ourselves and get in touch with our Passions and Purpose. We can understand the cycles of Prosperity that natural flow through the city like the natural stages of a human life cycle. I have seen this applied with people who have created a Vision for their city. Others have created learning habitats for youth entrepreneurship. Yet others have created circle dialogues for encouraging women to enter politics.

A. What are the key conditions for success? What needs to be organized? How does one apply change/process management from the perspective of emergence?

IC: In all the examples of success, one key condition has been applied: Include all of the 4 Voices of the city  in the change process. The 4 Voices are the City-zen, Civic Manager, Civil Society and Business. That has enabled the Human Hive to naturally align and focus itself – like the living system it is.

Meshworking is a way of organizing the 4 Voices so that they can respect one another, learn together and work towards a common goal. Typically this starts with a simple set of dialogue circles where the 4 Voices meet; discover their roles and relationships; and learn how they all contribute to neighbourhood, community or city wellbeing. This opens the doors to addressing whatever issue they want to work on. It could be as simple as neighbours helping neighbours (as in an Amsterdam local health currency, sponsored by Rabobank) or as challenging as working towards climate action goals (as Colwood, BC, Canada.)

When this trust is established a network of the 4 voices emerges.  In later stages it may move into a community of practise (COP) to address the issue  and then it is possible to align individuals, networks, COP’s into networks of networks. Within a small community this can happen quickly if it is motivated to respond to change (e.g. after Hurricane Sandy in New York). Within larger communities this process can emerge over years – even decades.

Learning how to start the change/process management by attracting and strengthening the voice of City-zens will be the first course that Integral City Learning Lhabitats offers. You can find out more about what is planned for 2013 here.

Decoding Integral City Maps; Cohering the Source of Patterns

Posted in E. Evolutionary Intelligences, Integral Maps, Master Intelligence, Spiritual intelligence, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 3, 2013 | 1 Comment »


The Key to decoding  the Integral City Maps is the Master Code:

  • Take Care of Yourself
  • Take Care of Each Other
  • Take Care of this Place
  • Take Care of this Planet

Evolutionary Intelligences

This Key is symbolized with the Integral City Compass which decodes the 12 Intelligences we need to explore Integral City Maps with ever-increasing circles of care.

Each of the five Maps for the Integral City, gives the Map Reader a different territory to explore. Because all the territories are interconnected, the Maps shape-shift from one form to another, leading the Reader through a labyrinth of city patterns, that taken together with the Master Code Compass, cohere into a whole.

City explorers who have taken journeys with the Principles of Living Systems and/or the language of PatternDynamics(TM) start to notice that Integral City Maps and Intelligences belong to this cluster of systems that decode patterns of life.

In the last six blogs, we have explored the language of PatternDynamics(PD) in order to translate its symbols into the language of Integral City Maps. In many ways we could say PD provides six archways (marked by a PD symbol) to the different territories of the city.

In this last blog (of this PD series) we enter the archway to the heart of the city – it’s Source.  Here we recognize the territory of City Spirit which we explored in Map 5.

The Source Pattern is foundational to all the other patterns, emerging from evolutionary consciousness: order, identity and purpose.

PatternDynamics Patterns

Like the other PD patterns, the Source Pattern has seven qualities, but as a meta-meta-pattern each of these qualities derives from a marriage of Source with the other 6 PD meta-patterns plus Source itself.

Energy: The Energy Pattern emerges from the conjunction of Source with Rhythm. The Energy Pattern is foundational to the city’s many ways of moving, expressing and evolving. It is evident in the exchanges of Map 3 and the involutionary, evolutionary cycle of Map 5. Energy appears as first cause for the Evolutionary, Integral and Living Intelligences and Emergent result in the experience of Love.

Resource: The Resource pattern is the child of Source and Polarity. In Map 5 Resource is the centre of the city’s Grace, Place and Space and the emergent quality of core values, Beauty, Goodness and Truth. The Resource Pattern reminds us that the city as Gaia’s Reflective Organ adds value to our planet’s evolutionary journey.

Transformity: The Transformity emerges naturally when Source inspires Structure. It is clearly the pattern of Map 4′s spiral of complex organizational structures.  Transfomity is a source of hope, reminding us that evolution has been experimenting with 14 billion years of complex transformations, to which human systems, including the city, belong.

Power: The Power Pattern, emanating from the collision of Source and Exchange, represents  the Big Bang on Earth. As such it lies in the centre of Map 1 and drives the “prime directive” behind all the cycles in all the other Maps. While Energy is multi-directional, Power is multi-cyclical with a central purpose or centered focus (like the beehive’s 40 pounds of honey). The Power Pattern of the Integral City will eventually produce the city’s purpose. And when 10% of Gaia’s cities discover and start to live into their purpose, we will have a Planet of Cities in service to all life on Earth.

Autopoeisis: The Autopoeisis Pattern “makes itself” from combining Source with Creativity. Building on Transformity and Power, Self-making that is adaptive drives the emergence of the nested holarchy of city systems in Map 2, the emergent capacities in Map 3 and the increased complexity of organizations in Map 4. This pattern recognizes how the city as a human system is constantly making and re-making itself through the grand cycles of Spiritual Sourcing and Re-Sourcing in Map 5.

Pattern: The Pattern Pattern is Source’s grand Dynamic Dance with itself on the Universe’s dance floor.  We notice the choreography of patterns in each of Integral City’s Maps. Tracing the Patterns reinforces our appreciation of the miracle that “we get order for free” (1). The PD Book of Patterns, records how Life has chosen to repeat its most productive Patterns at every level of scale in the human systems of the city.

Void: The Void Pattern is Source reflecting on Source. As Source we discover this empty fullness through our meditations, contemplations and other spiritual practices that remind us that we have all evolved from the same Source and will return to the same Source. There is nowhere else to go. Map 5 is a “busy expression” of discovering the Void Pattern in the centre of our Fields of Coherence.

Decoding Integral City Maps, is as simple as accessing the Void through the Source of Source.  And as we practise living with the Patterns of Aliveness that dynamically run through the territories of our bio-psycho-cultural-social lives in the Integral City, we expand our Practise of the Master Code, so that we can evolve to be stewards of a fully conscious, sustainable and resilient Planet of Cities.

Systems Patterns – a Language for Living

Posted in Integral Maps, Lifecycle, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on February 5, 2013 | 9 Comments »


The patterns embedded in human systems have evolved for hundreds of thousands of years.

PatternDynamics Patterns

Indeed, as living systems, the patterns have emerged from the 4 billion years that Life has vibrated on the dance floor of the Planet, as single cell microbes to  multi-organ persons. These patterns emerge from expressing the simple rules (or principles) that make systems alive.

These principles were explored by many of the Visionaries at the Integral City 2.0 Online Conference (IC2OC)- Elisabet Sahtouris in speaking of the 16 Principles of Living Systems; Mark DeKay in exploring his interpretation of Christopher Alexander’s Pattern Language; Hazel Henderson in proposing Biomimicry principles for investment; and of course the 12 Intelligences that inspire Integral City’s ongoing inquiry.

Tim Winton, another Visionary of the ongoing IC2OC conference came to the west coast of North America last week – bringing his training on the language of Pattern Dynamics(TM) outside of Australia for the first time. I was privileged to attend Tim’s one day workshop in Vancouver, Canada.

As author of Pattern Dynamics(TM), Tim has created a Pattern Language that is especially enlightening for organizations to notice the patterns that govern organizational life. Coming from a background in forestry and applied life sciences, Tim has developed his systems language from his decades of observing the interaction of the A-B-C systems of life. His own career has created the learning habitat where an elegant Pattern Language has emerged  from Tim’s observations of the Biological and Cosmospherical systems of forest ecologies.  And from this set of symbols he now offers a technology to empower Anthropocentric systems at the organizational level.

Tim’s Pattern Dynamics(TM) language is easy to learn and powerful to apply especially for discovering insights about sustainability and resilience. Pattern Dynamics(TM) uses a basic set of seven patterns (as pictured above) that enable a dynamic exploration in nature and culture of:

Rhythm: the temporal aspects in systems

>Polarity: the interplay of opposites in systems

 >>Structure: the enduring frameworks of systems

 >>>Exchange: the productive capacity of systems

>>>>Creativity: the emergence of novel adaptation of systems

>>>>>Dynamics: the process that coordinates dynamics of systems

>>>>>>>Source: the consciousness of the origin of identity and purpose in systems

These seven primary patterns can be cross-referenced to create a full set of 49 secondary patterns. A visit to PatternDynamics(TM) website will show you how they create an integrated set of patterns to produce a very versatile language for organizational explorations of the dynamical relationships of cultures (internal and external), economies, sustainability and innovation.

Since the workshop, I have been considering how Pattern Dynamics(TM)(PD) offers a complementary language for organizational development in the context of cities.  Like fractals, the PD patterns are essentially embedded at organizational scale, in the patterns that are foundational to the framework of Integral City at city scale.

At the city scale, the patterns that I have explored in the Integral City book, website, articles, conference, blog and trainings  have been derived from the five Maps of the City.

Four of these maps are presented in the book, (and recently discussed with Ken Wilber) and the fifth in a recent article. I will explore each of them in subsequent blogs but here is how I see them relating to Winton’s Pattern Dynamics(TM) .

Map 1: The Four Quadrant Eight Level Map of Reality - this relates to PD Polarity Patterns

Map 2: The Nested Holarchy of City Systems – this relates to PD Creativity Patterns

Map 3: The Scalar Fractal Relationship of Micro-Meso-Macro Human Systems – this relates to PD Exchange Patterns

Map 4: The Complex Adaptive Structures of Change – this relates to PD Structure Patterns

Map 5: Spirituality in the Human Hive – this relates to PD Source Patterns

Tim’s recent interview with the IC2OC  inspired me to explore his Pattern Dynamics(TM) language further. I am so delighted to have received instruction from the Pattern Dynamics(TM) Language creator himself – and can recommend his integrally informed teaching style to anyone trying to understand how organizations as living systems speak a pattern language that reveals their energy, functionality and their evolutionary wellbeing.

Guiding Step Two: Identifying Assumptions for a Planet of Cities

Posted in A. Contexting Intelligences, E. Evolutionary Intelligences, Master Intelligence, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 15, 2013 | 4 Comments »


Assumptions in the city arise not only from the four voices of the city – but from the worldviews being expressed in those voices.

earthb

Worldviews emerge from the beliefs of what is important around here and how those values are translated by the city’s voices.

In the most basic ego-centric way, assumptions are implicit – how do I access the basics of life (food, shelter, clothing)? how do I fit into my family? how am I earn my living (or not)?

When these needs are met, more complex ethno-centric assumptions build upon them – what language do we use to communicate within our groups or clans (the one from our home country, our special dialect or the one(s) we learn in school)? how does our group or neighbourhood relate to other groups or neighbourhoods (in being entitled to schooling or healthcare) ? how do we practise and express our spiritual and religious assumptions? who are our leaders and who are the authorities we follow?

Smaller cities have traditionally been able to coalesce around shared ethno-centric assumptions.

But as a city grows in size, the multiplicity of ethno-centric assumptions can make the Tower of Babel seem like an apt metaphor for the mixture of voices and clashes of worldviews that vie for air-space and audience.

Large cities that mature create a city-centric worldview that embraces the multiple ethno-centric and ego-centric assumptions into a coherent perspective of how the city can be governed for the greatest benefit of all.  With a city-centric worldview we can make decisions about the infrastructure that supports Citi-Zens’ daily life; the relationships that Civil Society can bridge between ethno-centric groups; the resources needed for thriving Business; and the governance that City Hall, Education and Healthcare institutions require to coordinate city-centric functions.

The most mature cities go beyond even a city-centric set of assumptions and realize that they are part of a Planet of Cities – that their exchange of resources and commerce depends on assumptions about planetary economy; that their exchange of ideas produces assumptions contributing to planetary generativity; that their demands on the environment require assumptions about evolution, sustainability and resilience; and that their cultural embrace of the shared story about their city on the planet, emerges a world-centric set of assumptions that aligns ego-ethno-city-world-centric assumptions and connects cities together as a Planetary System of Cities.

When you consider this holarchy of worldviews – what assumptions do you hold about your city? How do your assumptions impact the way you practise the Master Code for the Human Hive?

Are We Falling Apart or Waking Apart?

Posted in E. Evolutionary Intelligences, Emergence, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on December 13, 2012 | 2 Comments »


Dr. Ichak Adizes asks if we are falling apart faster? He charts the dissonance that exists in our individual physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual sub-systems.

Adizes Logo

Dr. Adizes observes that our physical maturity is way ahead of our emotional and spiritual maturity. And while we can learn all the way into old age, that choice is not often enough exercised. This leaves the human being looking like it is in a very misaligned condition (dis-integrated even) at the moment. And because the individual is so unintegrated across these sub-systems, it impacts all the scales of human systems – our families, our organizations and our communities. Perhaps it is also the root of why we feel our cities are so turbulent and misaligned?

We asked recently in the Integral City 2.0 Online Conference: How can we wake up? grow up? and take responsibility? Several of our visionary teachers (Buzz Holling and Elisabet Sahtouris) told us that living systems go through a resilience cycle where the alignment stage is followed by breakdown and re-distribution of resources, before integrating into a new resourceful stage.  So, it may be that the dissonances, noticed by Dr. Adizes are actually signs of the next stage of resilience.  Perhaps in order to wake up our whole system (both individually and collectively), must pass through two very messy misaligned stages before a new alignment of all our systems can emerge? Perhaps the fact that our sub-systems are  not maturing at the same rate as one another is a perfectly natural phenomenon?

Just as a foetus in the womb grows its sub-systems at different rates and different stages – and indeed the same pattern repeats itself as the human matures into adulthood. When we look at the scale of the human species (and not just the individual or family) when we find ourselves on the cusp of being in a new relationship with the world , this kind of developmental dissonance is our natural next step of evoluton?

With all our emphasis on the importance of the physical, maybe it is natural that it should be the first system that “jumps the maturation queue”? Now it is the season to start waking up the emotional, mental and spiritual systems too.

Maybe December 21, 2012 is the signal for us to birth a more integrated system?

Thanksgivings and Question-Harvests in the Human Hive

Posted in A. Contexting Intelligences, B. Individual Intelligences, C. Collective Intelligences, city, D. Strategic Intelligences, E. Evolutionary Intelligences, Master Intelligence, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 10, 2012 | 2 Comments »


Ten days after the final Integral City 2.0 Online Conference (IC2OC) … and we have celebrated our first Thanksgiving (whose timing we borrow from Canada :-) )

We are thankful for the people who made the IC2OC possible: all the volunteers, the speakers, the affiliates and the participants – in a constantly
intermeshing order.

We have an inventory of harvest outcomes that is almost overwhelming in its plenitude: products like 50 mp3 recordings; 36 pdf transcripts of
interviews (in various stages of completion); daily harvest summaries; website postings from participants; conference member profiles; weekly harvest paintings; music; video; social media and more to come.

We are grateful for all the relationships we discovered – not only with individuals, but with affiliates, partners and suppliers to name a few.

We are awed by the complex learning and research processes we created to produce the eLaboratory and Live Event phase of IC2OC.

And now we are harvesting a process that took 36 months to produce 36 Live Event sessions. We are noticing natural patterns emerging as we
immerse ourselves in a sea of amazing data about the Human Hive.

These I pose now simply as research questions, that we will be exploring as we gather, store, appreciate and re-purpose the Harvest in service to our Planet and her Cities.

  • What have we learned about designing a new operating system for the city on a Planet of Cities?
  • How is the new paradigm of the city integrally based on the Principles of Life?
  • How do those principles of sustainability and resilience emerge from Energy, Matter and Information?
  • What are the protocols of behaviour, thought, relationship and systems that we need in our cities on a Planet of Cities?
  • What is the new story of the city on a Planet of Cities?
  • What are the life-giving practices for individuals and communities in our cities?
  • How do we source and re-source Life in our cities for our planet?
  • What is the relationship of City Spirit to the new operating for this city on a Planet of Cities?
  • What have we come to understand about how the Master Code impacted our inquiry, our processes, our conference?

Structural Intelligence Supports Fulness of Humanity

Posted in Building - Structures, tagged , , , , , , , , , on July 31, 2012 |


Structural (or building) intelligence represents the “ Its” space of the human hive.

This intelligence connects us to the time-space realities of the city, that we see, feel, hear, smell, touch and taste. It gives us the capacity to structure and systematize our environment to sustain our complex adaptive life systems.

City structures are made up both from the collective of people (clusters of social holons and the meta-social holon of all people in the city) of whom we are a part and also the built environment.

The built environment is the extension of our human systems that enables the large population of people in the city to survive in close proximity to one another. The structural systems for managing energy, information and matter are essentially the same as those mapped out for the individual biology (outer intelligences).

These.structures have crystallized evolutionary complexity by capturing the simple but powerful circles of the family and clan hearth; by creating hierarchies of power, merit and production; by embracing inclusive social safety nets; by shifting into complex neural networks; and now encircling the globe through communication and satellite technologies.

Thus structures and infrastructures in the human hive support (or when they are not appropriate, block) sustainability, resilience and the fullness of our humanity.

Managing Personal Energy is Act of Leadership

Posted in Outer, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on July 17, 2012 |


Health emerges because the structures we have created sustain us through relatively stable times and life conditions. When these structures have built-in flexibility they are also resilient and create the conditions for an energetic city.

This means that my bio-physical self can respond to the changes in my environment and access to energy, including other people in it. Thus the cycles of that affect me as a living system – accessing resources for nourishment, sustaining life through connecting with my environment and reproducing the evolutionary impulse of our species – continue to occur despite the challenges of change that surround me.

The complex adaptive capacities of my genes, brain and body are the amazing legacy of all my relations who have gone before me. Developing a healthy body/brain can be considered my responsibility to contribute to a healthy city.  Such personal practise on energy management is an act of leadership, modelling an organic paradigm of health that contributes to resilient healthcare systems, in service to the whole population of the city.

Three simple rules for practising Integral City Outer Intelligences for a fully energized city are:

  • Manage personal energy.
  • Seek bio-physical wellbeing for self and others.
  • Nurture healthy leaders.

Inner Intelligence is Seedbed of City’s Intuition, Insight, Innovation

Posted in Inner, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 3, 2012 | 2 Comments »


Inner intelligence is the “I” space of each citizen. At the scale of the individual I am (virtually) the city’s mind from which emerges the city’s cognitive, emotional and cultural capacities. This “I” is capable of reflection and learning – not just once – not just in a linear way – but through the many loop-de-loops of multi-track learning.

The Inner Intelligences each of us brings to the city are multiple and multiply each other like infinite reflective mirrors. Each “I” in the city is a holon in a nest of holons, interacting in self-organizing, self-exploratory impulses as well as reinforcing learned structures. This makes the “I” of the city both resilient and sustainable – able to adapt and survive as change happens within us.

The Inner Intelligences of my human condition give me a sense of subjective wellbeing in the city through ”my” unique experience as an individual. This Inner Intelligence is precious – it is my learning zone – the source of my leadership -  and I need to care for it as a generative seedbed of my city’s capacity for intuition, insight and innovation. These seeds of the city’s resilience and even its uniqueness, deserve tending with a gardener’s care. I seek a species wisdom to develop a city-centric and eco-regional sensitivity for the care and feeding of these Inner Intelligences. My attention to this seedbed of intention is the source of city development, maturity and probably its survival.

Three simple rules for nurturing my Integral City Inner Intelligences might be:

  • Show up and be self-aware, present, mindful.
  • Notice the city intelligences and map them integrally.
  • Grow leadership in heart, mind, soul.

Hello Human Hive: Welcome Emergent World

Posted in climate, Emergence, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on May 8, 2012 |


Emergent Intelligence is the intelligence that drives resilience. This gives the city the qualities of aliveness: it not only survives, but it adapts and regenerates. This intelligence enables the city to emerge as the  bio-psycho-cultural-social behaviors, intentions, relationships and systems of its citizens interact with the environment they co-create as well as the eco-regional environment the city is situated in.

Emergence, like resilience is a phenomenon of complex adaptive systems. If the city were a bee hive,  we could easily see that the hive adapts through differentiation and integration for the purpose of achieving a hive survival goal – to produce the 40 pounds of honey per year that the hive needs to survive. In the bee hive differentiation exists in the definition of work roles that enable the hive to respond to life conditions. These roles are exhibited by its conformity enforcers (who do most of the work), diversity generators (who generate innovation options), resource allocators (who reward performance towards goal achievement), inner judges (who act as a hive mind to integrate all the roles) and intergroup tournaments (where competing hives ensure that the best local practices become species sustainability practices) . These five roles enable resilience because by optimizing the access to energy resources and the use of that energy for food production and infrastructure, they ensure individual survival, organizational sustainability and species resilience.

When we look at the Human Hive it appears that all these roles are in operation, but the key ingredient that is missing at this stage of city evolution is the agreement and focus on the city’s purpose – which would enable the achievement of a goal. Without that purpose, the goal is absent that clarifies why and how people manifest matter, energy and information for food production, infrastructure development and cultural vibrancy.

The question we must ask ourselves in order to mature our species is “what is the equivalent for the Human Hive of the Bee Hive’s 40 pounds of honey”? Perhaps we will be “coerced” into discovering a whole ecology of city purposes by the global crises that face us now? Only by purposefully working together will we solve the great challenges (aka wars) of climate, governance, technology developments and worldviews.
