Samara Archetypes

“Archetypes as a way to combine natural talents and strengths with the needs and capacities of the organization”
What you are doing (your actions) at a place in time.
These Patterns of behaviour are defined by the needs and capacities of Samara. These are needed in balanced proportions in order for wholeness and coherence.
Pick one or a few which combine your natural talents and strengths with the needs and capacities of the organization. You have complete freedom how you sense into and add either more change+flow or more stability+consistency to the group as needed.
