What kind of Space have you entered into?

Samara is a space that is deeply playful and exploratory, radically open, and spiritually rewarding. We value our relationships and build everything we do on the foundations of trust and reciprocity.  We put humans at the center of our decisions (we are a Decentralized Human Organization) and grow through evolutionary change (we are a Decentralized Holonic Organism).  

“This is about Samara becoming alive.” - Justin Joseph, Samara-Startup-Shaman

Speaking of Shamans, this story-space is the kind of story that includes magicians. We are a coterie.

coterie (n.)

"exclusive set or circle of persons who are in the habit of meeting and socializing, a clique - same origin as the word 'Click'," 1738, from French coterie "circle of acquaintances," originally an organization of peasants holding land from a feudal lord (14c.), from cotier "tenant of a cote" (see cottage).

Coterie's are groups of magicians in many stories. These magicians can often link minds in order to co-ordinate their magic. Part of the effort here in Samara has been to gain insight on the basic factors that allow flow, the experience of understanding and conversations where 'mind-linking' occurs and the seeking out of these states and particularly the factors that both enhance or block the phenomena.

This is an age-old human endeavour. We've all experienced this kind of magic. No one can deny the value in these patterns when they happen. How to foster an environment which facilitates them to occur more frequently without relying on the individuals turning up and random chance alone?

And here is a key insight: Flow is effortless. When we are in it, it is like a blessing. The skills, tools and processes required and which we are developing are needed when the flow stops, disappears of sensing detects a misalignment. This is where both the work and the opportunity lies.

How often has a misunderstanding turned into a deeper connection?

How often is a tension just a sign of the need for clarity?
