| Are you the cause or affect of your current reality? |

Organizational theorist Karl Weick coined the term "enactment". In a world where many individuals feel impoverished and organizations are threaten by lucrative markets drying up, what does that mean exactly? "The environment that the organization worries about is put there by the organization", Weick claims. This is consistent with what social scientists and quantum physicists know to be true. "There is no objective reality; the environment we experience does not exist "out there". It is co-created through our acts of observation, what we chose to notice and worry about" (Margaret Wheatley, 2006, p. 37). Weick encourages us to move away from arguing about who's right and who's wrong, and instead to focus our concerns on issues of effectiveness, on reflective questions of what happened, and what actions might have served us better. We could stop arguing about truth and get on with figuring what works best (1979, 152, 168-69, as cited in Wheatley, 2006, p. 37). In the Dreaming Room you will CREATE a new reality for yourself and your life. That is our promise. Come dream with me. Tana
