Many thanks for being our webmaster, Jeff! I wonder if we have determined the functions we need...

Hi All,
On July 20th, Ning is switching to a new revenue model.
For the time being, this site will remain active and transition to one of Ning's new group plans. In this case, I will sign us up for Ning Mini.
With this new plan, some of our curre…
For those of you planning to attend the CMM conference to be held at Columbia University on August 26 & 27, we are accepting "interest to present" from potential presenters. The format will be presentations and discussions with a call to action if t…
Thank you so much for your comments - apologies for not replying earlier - I am primairliy a therapist (KCC London) but I have been studying and lecturing in disability studies at Portmsouth UK more recently and your comments e.g. ''they were tired…
Finally, planned and moving full speed ahead. Looking for presenters! Looking for participants!
Please see the flyer for more details.
I like the dance metaphor too. It brings aspects of the "game" metaphor that work so well to foreground communication as rule-governed and rule-generating; and it focuses on coordinated action. I like your thoughts of tango Jane, and I went to compa…
Hi Lise,
I think that's a nice metaphor. Thanks for suggesting it. What comes to mind when you say dance is the tango with it's intricate weaving of leading and following. It epitomizes the reciprocity that we like to point to in taking the communi…
Hello Jane,
This reply is coming very late because I am not a regular visitor on The Daisy, and I just saw your post. Hopefully it is still relevant... The metaphor that comes to mind most often since I've started learning about CMM is communicatio…
Hey Barnett,
Yes definately, I'm going to recommend to everyone to get a copy of "Making Social Worlds."
Peace,
Jeff
About making a "splash" -- get the convening group to purchase a copy of Making social worlds: A communication perspective for each of the participants. Then you can reference particular things in the book and maybe some of them will read it after t…
Hi Kazuma
You asked about people in Europe who teach/use CMM. There are quite a lot.
Kim Pearce and I will be doing two workshops in Snekkersten, Denmark in November. Both are sponsored by the organization www.dispuk.dk (listed under 'workshops').…
As I wrote the title of this discussion thread, I imagined jokes about "well, about 2/3rds of my committee!" But that's not the point of this posting.
You worked hard on your dissertations, and they do make a contribution to the community of folk wo…
Further Framing:
As part of the group's orientation, the Stated Clerk of the GA (a main staff person) articulates his greatest hopes for the upcoming GA.
They are:
1. Prayerful Decision-making
2. Deeper Awareness of the whole PC (USA)
3. Issues fac…
Hey Barnett,
Yes I can see how that genie might be scary. Thanks for the heads up on that dynamic, I had not thought of that. This meeting only deals with Chairs and vice chairs, so maybe that will help.
Also, I called the national office to clari…
Hi Barnett,
I am sorry for my late answer becuase I have come back from a three-day workshop which I organiyed for Glenna Gerard. Meybe you know her, she is one of a pioneet of Bohm`s dialogue tradition.
Thank you very muc for your reply. I agree w…
Early morning thoughts, Jeff...
Once you get people looking "at" communication and using some fairly powerful techniques so that they see things they haven't before, it is like letting the genie out of the bottle...and committee chairs and vice-cha…

blog as discussion topic for conversation?
I wonder how a blog based conversation process works relative to topic area based discussion forum. There is something slightly intimidating about calling my little thought a blog entry, but that is me. I am sure I could get used to it. Let's find out if we can comment on comments and how that unfolds.
