Evolutionary Salon 2 on Catalyzing Collective Intelligence and Social Creativity

January 14-18, 2006
Chinook Center of the Whidbey Institute
Whidbey Island, WA - USA

We see this January 2006 Evolutionary Salon as a potential turning point in human evolution. With the evolutionary paradigm emerging as a significant force in virtually every facet of human endeavor, we believe it is time to start weaving these strands together to serve a better future. We know that evolutionary innovation and emergence is not just something that happened in the past, but is happening right now in profound ways - developments in which we are intimately involved. We feel an imperative for ourselves - and for society as a whole - to become more conscious, co-creative participants in this evolution. We believe that generative cross-disciplinary conversation among well-networked, knowledgeable people is catalyzing an important shift in that direction.
