Generative worlding
Generative Worlding was inspired by two experiences.
The name, and intention, of Generative Worlding was inspired by Bayo Akomolafe's description of worlding, shared in These Wilds Beyond Our Fences: Letters to My Daughter on Humanity's Search for Home: 'There are no beginnings that appear unperturbed, pristine and without hauntings. And there are no endings that are devoid of traces of the new, spontaneous departures from disclosure, and simmering events that are yet to happen. The middle isn’t the space between things; it is the world in its ongoing practices of worlding itself’.
The current shape of Generative Worlding was inspired by the response my husband, W (an amazing designer and maker of handmade electric guitars, basses, and pickups), had to a post-Facilitation Pods session where I was trying to put into words the depth of insight, attention, wisdom, and care within the pods. He said he wished he could be a fly on the wall, and in that moment, Generative Worlding pivoted into its second evolution.
The act of worlding, generatively, is explored through ecological enquiry, a way of gently and attentively exploring the complexity and interbeing that informs our thoughts, worldviews, ideas, behaviours, and experiences, both individual and collective. We bring you into the room as a small group utilises this ecological enquiry to explore the role of neighbourhood, place, relationships, ancestral lines, current events, ecoystems, social systems, social constructs, cosmologies, possible futures, and shared and personal histories in our lived experiences.
