Social Dreaming

I read a fascinating piece about the power of social dreaming—thank you, Dan Lawrence, for sharing. Every time I participate in or host a social dreaming matrix, I witness the same incredible shift described in the article. It never ceases to amaze me. There’s something deeply moving about how individual dreams, when shared in a matrix, weave together into a larger, collective tapestry. Themes emerge, new connections form, and what once felt personal takes on a universal dimension. Each session leaves me mind-blown, as if we are tapping into something far greater than ourselves. For those intrigued by social dreaming, there are free online matrices hosted by different organisations around the world.

Hi everyone—we live in a moment where something is burning down while something else is being born. While much of our collective attention is on the former, we invite you to join a six-part series to co-sense into the latter: the future that calls on us to bring it into reality—now. This series expands traditional systems thinking tools into SOCIAL SOIL practices—designed to realign our attention, intention, and agency, both individually and collectively. Join us for this free, online space of deep sense-making and co-imagining where are we going now: https://lnkd.in/epNgcbzF

?? Celebrating 90 Episodes of?Edgy Ideas?Podcast! ?? When we started?Edgy Ideas, our goal was to create a space for deep dialogue to explore what it means to live a ‘good life’ and build a ‘good society’ in our disruptive age. Over the past 90 episodes, we’ve dived into human, organisational and societal dynamics bringing a psycho-social lens to the conversations. Our guests bring their expertise and experience to examine how social change, technology, and environmental challenges shape who we are, personally and collectively. We pay special attention to the unconscious forces that speak through us, shaping our desires and entrapping us in repetitive patterns. Through?Edgy Ideas, we aim to reinsert the human spirit, good faith, ethics, and beauty back into the picture—offering fresh perspectives and psycho-social insights along the way. Recent podcasts have been with Susan Long exploring the unconscious, and Henry Mintzberg on rebalancing society, and coming soon we have some excellent conversations including Manfred Kets de Vries, discussing narcissism and leadership, and Daria Kuznetsova from Ukraine on living in a war zone. You can listen on to Edgy Ideas on this link https://lnkd.in/evVCYjpm or on your favourite platform. A huge thank you to our listeners, guests, and supporters for being part of this journey. Edgy Ideas?is proudly sponsored by the Eco-Leadership Institute . #EdgyIdeas #Podcast #Leadership #SocialChange #GoodSociety #Ethics #PsychoSocial #HumanSpirit #Technology #UnconsciousDynamics

Beim 13. Coaching Kongress für psychodynamisches Coaching in Kassel stand die widersprüchliche Sehnsucht nach Rückzug und Resonanz im Mittelpunkt. Unter dem Titel ?Die Sprache der Abwesenheit“ widmete sich die Veranstaltung zentralen Fragen rund um Absentismus, Commitment und Identifikation in Organisationen. Im Fokus standen die Widersprüche zwischen #Rückzug und #Resonanz sowie die Rolle von #IdentityLeadership als Instrument der Führung. #Absentismus, verstanden als mehr als blo?es Fernbleiben, wurde als komplexes Ph?nomen beleuchtet, das innere Kündigung, psychische Belastung oder ungel?ste Konflikte widerspiegelt. Demgegenüber standen überlegungen zu Commitment und Identifikation, die als entscheidende Faktoren für die Stabilit?t und Leistungsf?higkeit von Organisationen gelten – jedoch nicht erzwungen werden k?nnen. Wie kann Führung Zugeh?rigkeit erm?glichen, ohne Vereinnahmung zu riskieren? Ein besonderer Moment des Kongresses war die #SocialDreamingMatrix, die unter dem Eindruck des #Trump-#Selensky-Eklats stand, der am Vortag die Schlagzeilen beherrschte. Zahlreiche Tr?ume und Assoziationen kreisten um das Bedürfnis, sich von Krisen und latenten Bedrohungsszenarien des Weltgeschehens zu distanzieren. Der Wunsch nach Abstand und Rettung spiegelte sich in den geteilten Tr?umen und Asoziationen wider. Der Kongress machte deutlich, dass sich die Herausforderungen von Absentismus und organisationaler Identifikation nicht mit einfachen L?sungen begegnen lassen. Vielmehr bedarf es eines differenzierten Verst?ndnisses psychodynamischer Prozesse und einer reflektierten Führung, die Raum für Zugeh?rigkeit schafft, ohne Widersprüche zu negieren. #CoachingKongress #Psychodynamik #IdentityLeadership #Commitment #Absentismus #Organisationsentwicklung #Inscape

Tr?ume sind nicht nur pers?nlich – sie sind auch sozial: Beim Social Dreaming (SDM) werden individuelle Tr?ume zu einem gemeinsamen Raum, in dem unbewusste Dynamiken in Organisationen und Gesellschaft erkundet werden. Durch freie Assoziation und Reflexion er?ffnet die SDM weitere Einsichten in die tieferen Schichten von Gruppen- und Organisationsprozessen. Gemeinsam mit Dr. Ullrich Beumer habe ich diese Methode ausführlich in unserem Buch untersucht: Social Dreaming – Einführung in die Arbeit mit der Sozialen Traummatrix für Organisationsentwicklung, Supervision und Gruppentherapie Beim 13. Kongress für Psychodynamisches Coaching (28. Februar – 1. M?rz 2025, Universit?t Kassel) werde ich gemeinsam mit Dr. Anna Frank eine Social Dreaming Matrix leiten und den Teilnehmenden die M?glichkeit bieten, diese Methode selbst zu erleben. Wer sich dafür interessiert, wie Tr?ume verborgene Dynamiken in Organisationen, Coaching und Führung sichtbar machen k?nnen, ist herzlich eingeladen, in Kassel dabei zu sein – oder unser Buch zu entdecken! #SocialDreaming #PsychodynamischesCoaching #Organisationsentwicklung #Führung #UnbewussteProzesse #Coaching #Transformation #Gruppendynamik
