Essential Wisdom #1/5 Intro + Facilitation

This video is part 1 of a five part seminar: “Essential Wisdom for solving society’s biggest problems”. The seminar describes a solution (what we call a "holution") to most all of society's biggest problems at once ... It's a way to facilitate all the people to come together, face our most pressing, impossible-seeming issues —e.g. global climate change, the rise of authoritarianism, money-in-politics, structural racism, etc.— and reach shared conclusions about what to do. To recognize how this "holution" works requires deep understandings, what we call "Essential Wisdom” described in five sessions. Session 1) Facilitation ... we can spark systems of people to transform themselves; 2) Choice-creating .... It's the creative quality of thinking by which we can solve impossible problems; 3) Dynamic Facilitation ... how we can reliably evoke "choice-creating” with individuals and groups; 4) The Wisdom Council Process ... how we can facilitate large systems of people into the spirit of choice-creating; 5) Society's Breakthrough … how we (just us) might use these tools to transform the System of which we are a part: governance, capitalism, culture and what we currently think of as “human nature". … From understanding these elements and seeing what is possible, hopefully the viewer responds "THIS MUST HAPPEN! How can I help?" (For more information see www.WiseDemocracy.org) … Jim Rough is a social innovator and seminar leader. He is author of "Society’s Breakthrough!
