Notes from the hosting work of Moving The Edge

On this page we will post reflections and insights regarding the hosting of the ongoing adventurous inquiry into the role of collective intelligence in moving the edge of evolution.

Meeting 10 October
Tina, Martin L, Martin E., Finn, Andri

We put the question in the middle, What does it mean for us to host an ongoing adventurous inquiry into the role of collective intelligence in moving the edge of evolution? The following is a draft of insights from our 45 minute inquiry. A picture of the beautifully handwritten notes in Danish is found here.

Leaning into the process of letting new structures arise, in a long-term perspective without a defined form. The Moving the Edge perspective can surface anywhere and we take upon the task of looking for Moving the Edge structures and pointing them, making them available for people to see. The process of leaning in is the opposite of taking rest in a particular form.

Moving the Edge transcends forms and people and is not dependent on any particular form or person.
The hosting team holds the field for the adventurous ongoing inquiry. The team creates connections between people and initiatives that seem to hold the perspective we call Moving the Edge. The team can take it upon itself to be present as hosts and can visit people and initiatives relevant to the inquiry.

Moving the Edge is about spreading the word that there is a collective field. The hosting work is about holding the field and creating a framework. Being vigilant as to what arises and what goes on that might touch upon the perspective held in the ongoing inquiry.

The hosting team is a life-work community with a particular mission, i.e. cultivating the willingness to be in ongoing inquiry into the hosting process. What is the highest perspective of each member of the team in relation to their mission? The team undertakes the work through collective intelligence and strives to let their highest perspective prevail.

The hosting team serves as an inviting anchor for people interested in and curious about the field. A host’s work is to receive guests and give them room.

The team works to expand the interface between the outer and inner collective intelligence.

The hosting work is about commitment and perspective. That the inquiry is adventurous means that forms are not allowed to serve as resting places. The team holds the perspective of being on the go, looking for the higher and wider perspective, striving to stay in the unknown, keeping this perspective alive in the daily life of the hosting work. This is a constant movement into unknown territory.
