a case, and a group of 3-4 peers or team members help as consultants based on the

principles of the U-Process and process consultation.

Case Clinics allow participants to:Generate new ways of framing the issue.

Develop new approaches for responding to the issue.” This section from a “Case Clinics” page at:

Roanoke's U.Lab HubThe Integral Spiritual Practitioners hub is

comprised in part by practitioners who began working together earlier this

year through their mutual participation with MIT's U.Lab in January.

Over this same period, they've subsequently initiated and supported

each other in various community related projects

Reflective Overview - Current SituationWhat key challenge or question are we up against?

"Consequently, and from an evolutionary perspective,

although it remains unclear what the future holds in terms of

humanity's unfolding narrative, it's fairly evident at this juncture that doing nothing, other than

remaining subject to the imposition of a New World

Order's centralized control, "for profit" debt-driven operating

system, and duplicitous political machinery, won't adequately

secure a global citizenry's well-being."

text excerpt from, "Roanoke's U.Lab Hub - A Challenge for Local Leaders"

Reflective Overview - StakeholdersHow might others view this situation?

• Many of Roanoke's best concerted efforts positively impacting the

community's health and well-being are conducted through local nonprofits.

• Unfortunately, the conventional working of a 501(c)(3)'s structure may actually constrict that organization's

capacity to contribute to the community.

• This reliance on external funds however, can result in misdirecting the

organization's efforts and compromising its overall effectiveness.

Reflective Overview -

StakeholdersWe envision, and

subsequently propose, adopting

whole-system approaches to vitalize a city's

socioeconomic well-being by innovating

designs in community

(wealth) building.

Reflective Overview - Stakeholder

sGiven the preceding

"mission", we've subsequently adopted an

organizational learning approach informed by our work together.

Reflective Overview - Stakeholder

sVarious

economic functions are sometimes

categorized as Primary,

Secondary, Tertiary, or

Quaternary . . .

Reflective Overview - IntentionWhat future are we trying to create?

Our relationship to community stakeholders

has been facilitated through events like a

recent Education Town Hall Meeting coordinated

by Virginia Delegate Sam Rasoul and co-hosted by the Virginia

and Roanoke Education Associations.

19

Reflective Overview - Learning ThresholdWhat do we need to let go of? What do we need to learn?

We need to afford community stakeholders

an opportunity to contribute their input in

shaping our organizational agenda

and approach.

▪ 1 - Listen to your heart : Connect with your heart to what you're hearing
