NEXT STAGE WORLD 2017:
A Global Gathering of Organisational ReInventors
Rhodes, 24-28 April 2017
Pre & Post- Workshops: 22-23.4.17 & 28-29.4.17
THE GLOBAL GATHERING FOR NEXT-STAGE LEADERSHIP AND PRACTICE
Frederic Laloux’s Reinventing Organizations has inspired thousands of organizations around the world to reinvent themselves. Even before the book was published, many have been on the journey of reinvention to align themselves with a deeply held sense of purpose and values.
Among those for whom the Teal spirit has guided work and practice, there is a sense that merely describing Teal organizing as a destination is not enough. We see the need to come together in a practical way, to source wisdom from deep within ourselves, and our pioneering community.
Together with other next-stage practitioners and innovators, you will bend the beam of your observation into the practical dimensions of your personal leadership: from the interior work of embodying Self and self-lead culture, to the exterior work of structure and process within the three Teal breakthroughs.
PROGRAM
YOUR BURNING QUESTIONS + COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE = EVOLUTIONARY “AH HA!”The essence of the Next Stage World retreat is the combination of each practitioner team/individual’s burning questions with the creativity, wisdom, and intelligence of the whole. Rather than a conference of presentations, we bring our real, live, “up-to-the-minute” questions into the fore, then work them with the processes of deep inquiry and sense-making.
It amazes us how far these explorations can take us. What is it that makes this gathering unique and powerful? We think it has something to do with the concentration of real-world practice, next-stage embodiment, and focused time together.
We also think it has something to do with the retreat nature of the gathering, supported by the unique spirit of the Greek island of Rhodes. It’s so important, when learning a new way of being in the world, cultivating new practices, different ways of seeing and operating, to do so in a container that provides separation from our old habits and patterns. The island offers this, in a way that allows our essential humanness to emerge in surprising and colorful ways.
Here are some of the areas of inquiry and practice we’ve explored together:
DAY THREE: RETREATA step back. Letting go. Retreat to another place, like Lindos or the Old Town, or a natural garden work; this time is meant to relax and let our questions work inside of us in a deliberately different way, as we deepen in relationship and experience life and culture of the island. Letting come new insights.
DAYS FOUR & FIVE: “AH HA” and HARVESTNow we work again with our questions using various modalities and practices. What new questions have emerged? What insights and patterns are we discovering? How has what our colleagues brought to the group changed how we view our own work and service? We culminate with harvest and commitment to action.
PRE- and POST-GATHERING WORKSHOPSBefore and after the Gathering, you can dive deep into specific next-stage practices:

Here are some of the areas of inquiry and practice we’ve explored together:
- Talent building and the development of a self-management culture
- Constructing next-stage tools and solutions
- Engaging the whole system engagement using self-managing meeting designs: Open Space, WorldCafé, Circle
- Upgrading the advice process with Action Learning
- Exploring natural farming principles as a metaphor for Teal leadership
- Using mind and body sensations to test and explore open, complex issues (see pre-workshop with systemic representations)
- Mentoring meeting practices using the Art of Hosting
- Develop and build your TEAL mentoring practices (see especially the post-gathering workshop on this)
- Working with different levels of consciousness in the same organisation or team.
- Developing a next-stage working structure
- Experiencing first hand what it means to become more whole in practicing embodied attention.

PRE- and POST-GATHERING WORKSHOPSBefore and after the Gathering, you can dive deep into specific next-stage practices:
- On Saturday 22 April and Sunday 23 April, you can practice Systemic representations with organizations. Sense the power and connections of organizational settings directly in the field of your body.
- Beginning with a brief session in the evening of the Gathering’s closure and continuing over Saturday 29 April, unfold your TEAL mentorship qualities. What unique skills and capacities are needed to serve systems in their Teal transition?
