The experiences reflected in this book show that you can undertake
embodied, creative, heart-present processes; listen with all your
senses; and create community engagement activities that are fun.
And that doesn’t mean that you won’t have findings. It doesn’t
mean that the outcomes can’t be categorized, analysed, interpreted
and ultimately applied. There is no evidence that deep, passionate,
heart-centered, powerful, emotionally relevant processes do not
yield actionable outcomes. We simply need to progress from the
‘dreaming’ stage to the coming to public judgement and ‘giving
advice’ stages in ways that are not too abrupt for the people involved.
And then people will give advice freely.
