Module 2  

This module takes a practical, "applied" approach to making sense of some of the fundamental patterns that underlie challenges we face in virtually all social change efforts. When we are in challenging situations, trying to introduce change, or trying to address complex issues, we may often hear ourselves or others ask questions like: "Why do they...", "Why don't they understand that...", or "Why don't they just...", "Why don't they ever...", "Why can't I...", "How can I...", and other questions like these.

This module uses participants' own lived experiences as the primary "textbook" for introductory-level practice in how to "see through" elements of common situations, and understand why they play the roles they do. It requires the ability and willingness on the part of participants to examine, reflect on, and articulate personal experience in writing and conversation.

Taking a seminar approach to exploring experience, the suggested pre-reading introduces the core ideas explored experientially over the weeks of this module. That pre-reading is the article in Integral Review 1, 2005, Toward An Integral Process Theory of Human Dynamics: Dancing the Universal Tango. Contact us if you want ARINA to bring this workshop to you in-person!

Learning intentions of Module 2 

1. Broaden attention to include humans' environments so interactive patterns are easier to see

2. Identify basic processes from experience and recognize how their patterns show up at various scales

3. Understand from experience how, when, and why we have "blind spots" at various points in personal and social developmental processes

4. Understand experientially how different domains trigger different patterns of behavior.
