What kind of Space have you entered into?

I like the sentiment in this page, but to be honest the title was only every an example to demonstrate adding a page. Feel like there is something much more this can be - BW

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, we continue with the fun new terms for you; 'coterie of magicians'. That's what D-HERO's need to be to navigate the magic of groups and turn challenges into White Doves (Dynamic Peace/Creative Tension Release).

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... Sitting around a warm kitchen table in a 14th century cottage and sharing spells, right? 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. We seek out 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. Things just work. The skills, tools and processes we are developing are needed to create the right environment and to be able to respond when the flow stops, disappears or sensing detects a misalignment. This falling out of flow is where both the work and the opportunity are. Numerous perspectives on human habit building and patterns show that it isn't unbroken consistency that builds resilience and best practice, but how quickly an individual or group returns to the committed path that is the deciding factor in building up true consistency which takes less and less energy to maintain.  

With this perspective in mind some questions we have been pondering:

How often has a misunderstanding turned into a deeper connection?

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