Making real connection by using specific words

[Marianne Inghels]

I am very interested in the language and combination of words that create connection instead of separation. Insights from non-violent communication (Rosenberg), sociocracy and decision building based on consent (see attached mindmaps) etcetera are usefull. I attached two mindmaps I shared with the participants in my workshop on SOL2009. I will also attach a nice overview (on words creating war or peace) made by Marco Ronzani and his group during 'the open-space' at SOL2009.

What else could make a difference? What do we think?

these are the missing ones as addition to Marianne's word-file
opponent=>participant
party=> partner
I-firm/company/I-brand=> I am because we are
Be successful =>be with yourself

I made a foto of the words, 'cos I wanted to think further of them and taste them on my tongue.
and I know, I want to keep "will", I like the forward moving energy in this word. :)
and I'm happy about this movement in the community, about this caring how we create our world by using language. Thank you all.

Hi Marianne
How would it be for you, to create in http://solworld.ning.com/group/texelworkshop2009/forum a new discussion with the title "Making real connection by using specific words" containing a linking to your forum: http://solworld.ning.com/forum/topics/making-real-connection-by

The benefit will be, that this very useful discussion also is documented within the Texel-Workshop-2009 Forum

Thank you!
Hans-Peter
