We know the differences that determine potential energy in batteries, rolling balls, waterfalls, and bouncing springs. We also know how to transform that energy into work to accomplish the practical work of living in the real world. What if we had the same kind of intelligence about the potential energy in human systems? What if we could harvest the energy in human systems to generate the cultural, physical, and emotional work of individual belonging and collective wellbeing? Three simple practices allow you to see the energy hidden in differences among people, understand the generative potential of that energy, and take intentional action to set conditions for people to become all they can and choose to be. This workshop demonstrates how the theory and the practice of HSD prepare you to transform yourself and the communities you call home.
Simple Rules are agreements that inform behavior, so a diverse group can function as one. They set conditions that shape the emergent patterns as a group self-organizes. The rules may emerge from covert or overt agreements among the players, and they inform decisions and actions to create coherence across the whole.

HSD opens opportunities for culture change. Learn Adaptive Action to shape the cultural patterns you want.
