Tim (and anyone else who is interested): I have added the
PatternDynamics diagram to Integral Diagrams:

Colin: since you are in Brisbane (which I am) you may want to attend a
Brisbane Integral meetup:

The Brisbane Ken Wilber Integral Practise Meetup Group (Brisbane) - Meetup.com
http://kenwilber.meetup.com/278/

Last week I attended the screening of The Cuban experience: how Cuba
survived Peak Oil & panel discussion with Roberto Perez (who is in the
film) at Brisbane City Hall and the room was packed - over 400 people.
Very affirming that I'm not the only one in Brisbane who cares about
all this (http://www.peakoilstore.com/forum/index.php?topic=10278.msg178797#msg178797).

>  Hi Colin,

>  Sean and I have had a few conversations along these lines. I'm currently
>  working on a sustainability discipline called PatternDynamics. It is a
>  pattern language developed to help us live and collaborate in new ways based
>  on whole systems thinking as we enter into what I call the 'era of
>  transition'. I see this transition as the adaptation from our current growth
>  oriented society to a society adapted to living creatively within the limits
>  imposed by the biosphere. Using less and sharing more through creative
>  collaboration based on whole systems thinking are a key strategy of
>  PatternDynamics. Turning our focus from outer, material pursuits to more
>  inner personal development and self actualization is another. Both of these
>  approaches can be of service to and manifest from working with what I call
>  'living sustainability'- sustainability as a daily lived experience in body,
>  mind and spirit; self, culture and nature that progresses sustainably
>  towards a more balanced way of engaging with the biosphere.
>
>
>
>  PatternDynamics is intended to give us a new 'systems thinking' way of
>  seeing and acting in the world that extends beyond just technical solutions.
>  More pragmatically it's designed to help us learn to collaborate in new and
>  creative ways in organizations and projects that are the living vehicles to
>  sustainability and a more meaningful life.

>
>  I'm looking for skilled web/IT folks who can help develop a web site to
>  facilitate this collaborative learning community. I've attached  the
>  PatternDynamics chart which forms the basis of the systems thinking pattern
>  language for your interest (and everyone else's).
>
>
>
>  Also, we will be running at least one, free, one-day PatternDynamics
>  workshop this year to help develop the training program. Anyone who is
>  interested in participating can reply to me privately and I'll put them on a
>  list of potential participants.
