We were thrilled the other morning, when we realized that our DDI Facebook community has now over 4000 members. Is it a sign that the time for Deep Democracy has come? Deep Democracy, Arnold Mindell's concept that psychology, spirituality and politics are inseparable, expressing themselves with different voices, and all have to be part of an inclusive leadership approach, which starts by making room for one's own inner diversity.

Conflict and Creativity in Amsterdam - Beginning of a yearlong Conflict Management Training
We look forward to our year of training in Deep Democracy Leadership and Conflict Management in Amsterdam. On April 9th we have the first of 4 workshops on Worldwork Conflict Management and Mediation for European leaders. Inner conflicts keep us paralyzed at times, team conflicts block productivity, turf wars in organizations reduce efficiency - and create terrible moods! Deep Democracy is a superpostional model, which shows how opposing forces are also creative tensions, and the expression of an emerging, more creative and more differentiated identity. Deep Democracy application not only resolves conflicts, it uses them for new directions, rejuvenation and rediscovery of your deeper vision and motivation for who you are in life - as a person, team, or organization.
