Reflective Conversation - What have you come to value most during these times of slowing down? What have you realized has become non-essentials, you could let go of, in your life and in your work? by mvk - Kutzschenbach Institute for Sustainability Studies https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2 If we were to reimagine ourselves going forward, and re-evaluate what is truly essential, what would this mean for you? Our weekly reflection series is about taking a journey, together with you, on some of the challenging questions we face in creating a sustainable society. It’s about engaging in conversation, sharing ideas and co-creating new narratives for the future. en-us 2020-04-02 13:28:39 UTC 2024-05-31 06:33:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/492271030 2020-04-04 09:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/492271030 Very difficult question https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/492987065 I like very much to spend more time with my neighbours and at the same time I would also like to go to a cafe and meet other people.
I enjoy the available time and quietness and at the same time I am worried about the uncertainty of what our future will be.

Thank you for your effort to offer a platform to practively engage and reflect about these challenging questions.]]> 2020-04-05 07:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/492987065 https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/493217941 I value more now the things I miss, like freedom to go out anywhere and enjoy in the company with other people. There is also mixed feeling, one to enjoy that everything is calmer, but also anxious about the chaos will come after. How we can in future ensure we have our freedom but are not too busy to appreciate it? How we can organise ourself not to be threatened by such shocks?]]> 2020-04-05 13:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/493217941 https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/493619542 Great question. But I would challenge it too. My life hasn't slowed down. There's just less movement. Less going from point A to point B for no apparent reason. Leaving that out has given me space to create more things of value for me and my organization. If anything, I'm speeding up...]]> 2020-04-05 19:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/493619542 https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/493633214 NONessential: competition, topics that dont bring humanity further, transactional thinking/behaving
Essential: healing the self, finding purpose, service, values, see interconnectivity

Valuable to be more in one place, and have a local rhythm, kind of. So hasting around is a non-essential. Too much virtual time on the computer is non-essential. If there were not essentials which are now restricted - like roaming free in nature, and being with whom we like where ever and whenever we feel like being with such persons. So those are essentials. monvisoinstitute https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/494096293 2020-04-06 06:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/494096293 https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/494298965 Non-essentials: control, hasting around, excess of virtual time. Essential: presence, purpose, cooperation, sports.]]> 2020-04-06 08:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/494298965 https://padlet.com/MvK_Institute/Reflective_Conversation_2/wish/494446636 Non-Essentials in life & work: busy-ness, rush-hours, worry, always being physically at work and always being available, competitiveness, ego-centricism, thinking you need “more”

Truly Essential: Contact & empathy with others, collaboration, gratitude, time in nature, meditation, taking care of your health & others, slow thinking and living (vs fast), respect for all living creatures & the planet
