Social Presencing Theater: The Art of Making a True Move

Social Presencing Theater invites us to contact the unconditional wholesomeness that lives in us all.

in a very short period of time, it shifts the conversation from debate to dialogue, it shifts the level of listening from shallow to deep, and it creates a new language that allows stakeholders to shift their quality of interaction from a silo to a systems view.

Awareness is the leverage point for change.

The practices invite a connection or integration of the three bodies—the individual body, the Earth body, and the social body.

When thoughts about what we want or don’t want occupy all of our mind space, we lose touch both with our sensing body and with the felt awareness.

In Social Presencing Theater we begin by acknowledging that wisdom lives in all systems, individual and collective, and that change is a naturally unfolding process.

Otto follows up on that idea with two of his own reflections: “You cannot change a system unless you change consciousness,” and “You cannot change consciousness unless the system can see and sense itself.”

There is no right or wrong experience—only learning.

As we move about with others, we create visible patterns and structures.
