About this title

Synopsis

Scribing--visually representing ideas while people talk--is a distinct social art form that facilitates group learning and cultural memory. Scribes listen and draw simultaneously, creating large pictures that integrate content, prompt insight, and aid with decision-making.

"Generative scribing" extends this art by attending to the field of energy and relation between people, and to the emerging potential of a system.

This book frames the key concepts that inform and cultivate a scribe's inner capacities of being, joining, perceiving, knowing, and drawing. It is for visual practitioners, facilitators, coaches, and organizers, and for anyone who cares about how we exist together as humans. It's for those who want to explore their interior functioning, to approach the world anew.
