Abundant Life Unity Church is a new organization and as such, we have the unique opportunity to organize ourselves in an evolutionary way, as if the organization itself is a new form of life. At the 2009 Unity People’s Convention in Overland Park, Kansas, I witnessed the exciting presentation of HolacracyOne co-founder, Brian Robertson, and participated in a workshop on dynamic steering methods.
I admit, this is all new to me, but given my 20 years in the corporate world, my experience on three church boards, plus my interest in Ken Wilber and transpersonal models, I was intrigued.
I have experienced traditional models of organization as well as those which have appeared to be more cutting edge, but in the end, really weren’t. To begin to get a feel for what this is all about, check out Brian Robertson’s blog on the HolacracyOne website: http://www.holacracy.org/blog/beyond-serving-stakeholders. You can also see a part of his presentation at the Unity People's convention on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/holacracyone.
Abundant Life Unity is dynamic Spiritual Center, poised to support the spiritual path of our members. Organizationally, we intend to be whole, healthy and prosperous. As we begin to take shape, we will adopt the HolacracyTM method of governance. As Brian Robertson states in his blog, we will be “inviting people to serve something larger than themselves, larger even than the collective, for the sake of evolution’s further unfolding. This is the ultimate aim of HolacracyTM – to liberate the organization to become a direct expression of evolution in action, creativity unleashed, free from the shackles of serving human ego.”
An organization free from the shackles of serving human ego? If that sounds interesting to you, join us as we boldly go where no Unity Church has gone before!
