and the

Wise Democracy Project



Together we can be wiser than any of us can be alone.
We need to know how to tap that wisdom.


Healthy communities, institutions and societies -- perhaps even our collective
survival -- depend on our ability to organize our collective affairs more
wisely, in tune with each other and nature.

This ability to wisely organize our lives together -- all of us being wiser
together than any of us could be alone -- we call co-intelligence.
Co-intelligence is diverse people working really well together in ways that make
things better from a bigger picture perspective - especially in the face of
challenge and change.

In its broadest sense, co-intelligence involves accessing the wisdom of the
whole on behalf of the whole.

Co-intelligence is emerging through new developments in democracy,
organizational development, collaborative processes, the Internet and systems
sciences like ecology and complexity. Today millions of people are involved in
co-creating co-intelligence. Our diverse efforts grow more effective as we
discover we are part of a larger evolutionary enterprise, and as we learn
together and from each other.

The Co-Intelligence Institute works to further the understanding and development
of co-intelligence. It focuses on catalyzing co-intelligence in the realms of
politics, governance, economics and conscious evolution of ourselves and our
social systems. We research, network, advocate, and help organize leading-edge
experiments and conversations in order to weave what is possible into new, wiser
forms of civilization.

This site includes hundreds of articles and references describing proven
methods, innovative models, practical visions and the theoretical frameworks
that weave them all together. It has rightly been called a treasure-trove.
Welcome to its resources. You can get a good overview on our FAQ and Topics
pages.

Participatory Sustainability

Notes for an Emerging Field of Civilizational Engagement

by Tom Atlee

> Participatory Sustainability introduces the idea that sustainability cannot be
> achieved merely through top-down government policy or economic activity.
> Sustainability requires the participation of all people and all parts of
> society, working with each other and with nature. The book provides dozens of
> approaches for doing this, including guidance for generating collective
> wisdom, participatory leadership, inclusive participatory forms of power, and
> six expanded dimensions of intelligence we can use together to address the
> depth and complexity of the challenges we face. Recognition of the intrinsic
> participatory nature of both sustainability (co-creating a good life for our
> grandchildren) and non-sustainability (co-creating disaster) provides both
> motivation and direction for making a better world, starting immediately.

Essays, Poems and Prayers from an Emerging Field of Sacred Social Change

Evolution, the most ancient, complex and self-organized of all change processes,
has been going on for 13.7 billion years. We are now part of that process
becoming conscious. Inspired by the Great Story of evolution and our role in it,
and guided by our increasing understanding of evolutionary dynamics, we can
co-create wiser social systems, cultures, consciousness, and technologies. Much
of the material on this site is part of this co-creative adventure.
