Is there a political issue you'd like to transform? Use Visionary society to transform a political issue into a Quest. Show how it is possible to bring respectful discussion to divisive, polarized issues. Show how it is possible to resolve political issues in a visionary way, with humility, respect, insight, and courage.
Create a Quest
We’ll take you through the process step-by-step. Yes, it seems impossible now. All the better. That’s why we need to take a step back and reconstruct the problem before it begins.
– Select any political issue.
– Create the Explore section, adding Perspectives and Resources of various kinds.
– Think about how to facilitate Reflect, for participants to think about their own biases and experiences.
– Talking circle to think about the roots of the problem and a transformative resolution.
– Publicize the Quest and hold a meeting.
– Finally, prepare for a Public action.
Facilitate a meeting
Each meeting should have a place for Visionary society tools such as Reflect (seeing your own position inside of this mess) and Explore (entertain positions you oppose). Most of all, meetings should create a climate of affection and reflection. We want to create a space for an unexpected solution.
