LDP Community Inquiry

Community Inquiries provide a collaborative space for members of the Harthill Community to explore a question, idea, or topic together. Any member can bring something they wish to inquire into with others. Everyone is welcome to participate in a Community Inquiry, whether an authorised LDP Practitioner or someone with an interest in adult development. Some members come to all inquiries regardless of topic, and others drop in when they are drawn to a specific topic.

There is no expertise required to host - just a question or theme that has sparked curiosity and feels worth exploring together. Previous topics have included:

• Exploring our relationship with truth and assumptions
• Insignificance and grandiosity
• Origins: How do we recognise them as part of our development
• Wounding, healing and wholeness
• Harnessing our Power
• Generative AI disruption
• Exploration of the impact of ecological thinking on our development as people and leaders

The sessions are relaxed and informal, blending plenary and breakout conversations. The aim is to cultivate a safe space that promotes curiosity, openness, and support.

Community Inquiries are scheduled three times a year for two hours, alternating between different time zones. There is no cost to attend.

Our next session will be How (not) to speak of love with Ian Mitchell on 4 December, 12-2pm (UK time)

Ian says that an emerging theme for him in his practice seems to be the exploration of personal relationships, and an inquiry he's come to truly value is, can you talk with each other about what it means when you say ‘I love you’?’ And what he's come to discover is that the Action Logic lens that someone is looking through when they say those words may differ greatly from the Action Logic lens that their partner is looking through if they say it back. And when that is the case, an understanding of the various meaning-making apertures onto love can become relationally important. 

So, we’ll be exploring some of these apertures together - Diplomat to Ironist - and seeing what light the inquiry might shed on the wonderfully personal question ‘ How deeply have you loved?’
