What do we mean by "Co-Creating"?


Co-creation: what does that mean?

We are talking a lot about co-creating a new world, collaborating and similar expressions. What does it mean? How is it done?

We are in the phase of experimenting what these concepts might mean. There are several attempts to explore that, like the "Conversational Experiments" where Tammy Lea Meyer co-creates sessions with Fleming Funch, and also our conversations in The Wisdom Factory, and especially in the section "Women Matters"

How conversations can be different

Here an example of how different conversations can be. Gertraud Wegst, at one point, mentions that our conversations here are "not normal". No, they aren't. They are not focused on bringing out what we think to push onto others because we already know so much. No, they are a collective exploration of what is present now, in the group, and what is coming up.

The session began with the title: "How to transform challenges into stepping stones". Finally, Luna Ceovelli explained what she is understanding under that term. From there the conversation was circling around in a spiral for finally condensing on the emotion of fear and how it can "overcome" or better used as a stepping stone, or even better as a walking stick to bring us forward and be our good companion.

What you will find

When you watch this conversation you will get a taste of what CO-CREATION may be. Here we are only women and our conversations are slightly different from those where men are present. You might ask why. MAybe you find out by watching the Women Matters conversation and compare them to the others.
For me, the below conversation was a surprise. I normally participate live and on camera, but this time I couldn#t be there being without the Internet connection at our meeting time. So I needed to watch the conversation on the recording. How it feels different to be there, live and co-creating and to just watch, having thoughts but unable to utter them being taken along the flow of the conversation in some other direction.
