Books
Within the Collective Presencing practice and community two books have seen the light of day. Both are free to download.
Collective Presencing
An Emerging Human Capacity
This book tells a story…A story of a group of women intrigued about what else was possible if they were fully present with body, heart and mind and then engaged in an inquiry that was complex and inspiring.
… maps out a journey that a group or a team can go through.Building on the ancient circle practice – as we knew it from the Art of Hosting – we explored, reflected, and explored further. What exactly makes the difference between empathic and generative listening – and an empathic conversation and a generative dialogue – as we noticed in Theory U material? Could we learn something of the age-old Quaker practice – to only speak when spoken through? How to be in a process where all involved are peers, and no one has official authority over the others?
Called to Artful Dialogue
Basics for Conversations in the Complexity of the World Now.
A 75-page illustrated guidebook, born from an intent to help individuals bring Collective Presencing practice to their local communities and organizations; and it is for anyone who would like to further their perspectives on the practice.
With this practice as the basis, we aim for a working culture with deep respect for all things relational. – Ria Baeck
Called to Artful Dialogue has been masterfully generated by Ria Baeck, whose work embodies real participatory and innovative approaches. Her voice weaves with experienced core-practitioners who are bringing the practice of Collective Presencing to their working and personal constellations.
The intensity of the crisis in our world today is calling for our co-creating an individuated collective capacity with presence. This practical, artful guidebook supports this potential.
