I like the way Reina Neufeldt, John Paul Lederach, and Hal Culbertson talk about demystifying theory and remystifying practice in their manual. Becoming culturally "self-aware" by asking: "Why do we do what we do the way we do it?" ... I mean REALLY asking it carefully is a step toward double loop learning and triple loop learning as a way to question culture-in-practice. I like this video (not the music, but the ideas) and I think triple-loop learning as they describe it is about cultural self-awareness and cultural change. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn3NqvStekY Jayne Hi Dave:
