Many years ago my curiosity and passion were ignited around how we might be, meet and work together in a different way. From that journey I’ve found my place in this world as a participatory process designer and facilitator, hosting and harvesting conversations that matter. I work with organizations, communities and individuals to invite collaboration, facilitate participatory gatherings, and harvest the fruits of those conversations for sustainable progress. I create space for people to turn towards each other for meaningful conversation, where all voices are welcomed and heard. My work happens in meetings, gatherings, conferences and more, designing circle-based participatory dialogue processes to create a container for leadership and wise action to emerge. I live on the beautiful west coast of BC with my sweetie and our great Dane Maya, and I'm so glad to be here with the Group Works community!

I will be using the cards to facilitate a new Spanish conversation group at a local retirement community to start up April 16, 2015. The group is for individuals who love the Spanish language, and have an affinity for the peoples/countries where Spanish is spoken, which, of course, includes the U.S.! I hope to facilitate lively and enjoyable conversations in Spanish where folks can feel relaxed, enthused and enjoy ownership in the way in which our group evolves.

I don't know who I am but I do like to experiment, observe truth and see the huge beauty and possibility in most any situation. It's pretty clear to me that collective knowledge-building is a beautiful thing and that so many things where people think: "I can't" can easily be turned to "we can." I coach and facilitate and I guess my picture of an ideal life would be having one Co-Sensing Style Action Learning Coaching session a day or Dynamic Stillness Craniosacral or a Piano Portrait (where the piano is a voice in the dialogue). I'm constantly seeing the possibility that our medicine just might come from our loves and our passions. It might just be that simple. I'd like to share that little secret with others, directly, through experience.

I came to this work later in life and knew immediately that I had found my home. Everything that I had done before had prepared me to facilitate critical collaborative conversations. I started at Vanderbilt University working with Matt Taylor at a center dedicated to healthcare reform using the medical center as a test-bed. It was divine! And, we co-created electronic medical record, on-line physician ordering and much more. I moved to Switzerland after that and was the co-founder/founding President of The Value Web, a social business/association for ~ 35 practitioners who come together to change the way decisions are made in important gatherings. I love the cards. I am hungry for a broader group of players. Thank you for creating them!

I find ex-votos and other forms of devotional offerings fascinating, particularly as the topic has few boundaries (we find offerings across a wide scope of time and space). I also focus on museums, objects, and displays from a curatorial perspective as well as through theoretical interpretations of narrative and display.

Roles: Site Administrator, Core Group, Ambassador / Steward
I have been blessed for many years with a calling supporting groups to function well, which is fulfilled through teaching, facilitation, and organizational design. I work primarily with groups in my geographic region. I founded the Group Pattern Language Project in 2008, and since publication in 2011 have been joyfully watching it make its way around the world. I think the most powerful implementation of the Group Works deck happens when organizations integrate it into their day-to-day operations and culture. As of this writing (early 2017), i am passionate about possibilities arising from Laloux's insights into "teal" organizations, and am actively seeking colleagues and playmates in that realm.

Nicole Bienfang

I am an entrepreneur, interdisciplinary thinker, attention economist, activist advocate, inventor, consultant, social artist, cultural creative & social architect. I've dedicated my life to increasing the impact social change makers have on society. Both my life and professional experiences have afforded me the opportunity to gain the insight of how a sense of community can be formed anywhere in various ways. With that knowledge I strive to help globally shift the current paradigm we all live in to a new one that benefits us all, as well as the planet. I'm often found building bridges between niche groups of social change movements, and helping translate between thought leaders found within them. My solution-centered thinking,tenacious and straightford style has garnered respect internationally having many people seek me out for counsel and mentorship. Seeing that there was a significant need for information and instruction regarding founding and starting social good type programming, movements, and intentional communities I took part in the development of The Transition (www.thetransition.org) creating a hub where like-minded proactive people could unify their good work efforts and exchange experiences from the trenches. I'm a research driven, lifelong learner, who uses that knowledge to build stronger relationships among communities and with individuals from around the world.

Originally I came across pattern language (online) through Doug Schuler. I was taught more (online) by Helmut Leitner, and then via F2F session at London Knowledge Lab led by Yishay Mor. When Yishay was preparing to co-edit a pattern language book (related to an area of education I knew about) he sent out a call for contributions saying the contributors would be shepherded regarding the pattern language side of things. This was how I learned more. I am interested in how pattern language can help me (and people in my networks) to share insights with each other despite coming from very different areas of interest.

I am very interested (excited really) about how we construct our reality and how we hold our selves and our perceptions in place by non-verbal, non-cognitive, assumptive patterns and schemas. There seem to be complementary sets of dynamics including safety-reactivity-attachment alongside expansion-creativity-emergence. Maybe we can only know about them by pausing-doing-reflecting-iterating-not knowing... in some right-seeming jumble that orders itself and us.

I am a lifelong learner, and I do my best to share my learning with others and create the conditions for learning within the groups, systems, and communities I connect with. I practice this in a lot of different ways, and I fail in a lot of different ways too. Today I am excited about taking my learning in more challenging directions for me: like applied math in the form of programming, data science, and more scientific areas like carbon capture, etc. I want to see if there's a way that I can connect everything I've learned so far as a social scientist, political theorist, facilitator, process designer, digital marketer, etc. with these more robust ways to understand and operate with reality, so as to help us address the extremely serious challenges we collectively face. I'm interested in the intersection of group work in this combined space of group practice, digital tech, science, and complexity, and I'd be open to exploring connections with anyone who is also working in this way at the edge of the future. More about me, specifically, here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefan-morales-a336ab10/ and more about one of my key projects here: httpe://www.togetherworking.com/about.

I was an active supplier in the OEM and Industry Business and developped different fastening solutions in the production process of these companies. Our new products required a high understandig of the customer's needs and potential benefits. This comes from efficient group work between supplier and customer, high trust and open mind. The same I experienced in the different market entrance tasks in many countries with our organization. International project management in medical equipment devices needs to have also collective wisdom.of all participants for succesful completion on both sides. Today I`m retired and still active in creating a partizipatory leadership in complex environment and in conflict resolution as a official certified mediator and a AoH practicioner, I'm interested to take advantage from your high level experience in partizipatory group works and I would like to apply this valuable deck and cards. I'm applying the german language version in my workshops to strengthen the selfconfidence of the participants. In talking about the selected patterns we show the importance of their personal contributions in developping the required topics of the workshop, meeting.
