Reading the nature of process from a process of nature
'Reading the nature of process from a process of nature – Facilitation as the art of anticipation'. This is the title of a recent talk given by Allan Kaplan at Schumacher College, Dartington, Devon, UK. The very good news is that it is available on the Schumacher College website as an Open Evening video. In the video Allan demonstrates how using a Goethean sensibility with respect to the development of a flower provides valuable pointers to engaging with ever-changing social complexity.Click here to go to the Schumacher College Open Evening video page
