What’s it like to practice in the Uncertainment Lounge?

Unpredictable! Each lounge is quite distinct depending on who shows up and what emerges. This tends to foreground randomness, chance operations, and synchronicities in the trans-contextual social field. 

Uncertainment is the capacity to get underneath our biases and habits to experience transpersonal states of generative uncertainty.

This week we'll meet later today, Monday November 22 then take a break on Thursday for the Thanksgiving Holiday. We'll resume our twice-weekly schedule next week

Tomorrow - Thursday - join us for Uncertainment Lounge at The Stoa!

Uncertainment Lounge: Thriving in Uncertainty Together w/ Lisa Norton

Uncertainment is a practice of sensing across divergent views in real-time in order to deepen our participation with the unknowable and the uncontrollable. This session will set a minimal frame for the emergence of collective practices of negative capability unique to the moment. Befriending uncertainty in a safe yet brave context, we will grapple together in the wobbly ambiguity of not knowing, witness, make sense, listen and dare - and in so doing extend our capability to care, choose and respond.

Thursday September 30, 6:00 pm ET.

RSVP here to register for the session: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcsd-GgrzgiHdygvOcvGslv7XtmlZ8OMjww

noticing the part of me that automatically orients to what I know or can grasp

Sometimes my habits of certainty-seeking are stronger than my ability to practice uncertainment. This contributes to a flattening and shallowing of the dialogue. Others may in turn choose to repeat, bend or break the pattern.
