In 2012, after retiring from my professional career, I was eager to participate in some of the practices I had read about that facilitated group practices aimed at realizing emergent capacities. My working hypothesis was that it could be possible for people to participate in ways that would catalyze new cognitive and conative capacities such as multi-perspectival awareness, sensory clarity, enhanced perception, collective in­sight, and cognitive flow. I believe these capacities are necessary to successfully address 21st century challenges.

I was surprised to find the existing practices significantly flawed.
