IONS President James O’Dea had the idea for the Shift in Action Modes (Discover, Declare, Share, Commune, Meet) on a plane ride to Brazil. That set in motion a flurry of ideation in developing the Shift in Action web community site - and in particular, the Commune function.
James envisioned a space where wisdom suggestions would cascade into view, inviting onlookers to relax, center, and explore personal and social transformation in the comfort of their homes or offices. The Shakuhachi Room is the first example of this idea -- a flute accompanies wisdom suggestions penned by James himself: Commune, Open your heart, Sense the presence of the other, Seek resonance, Be spacious...
We invite you to settle in with James’ suggestions as you would a meditation guide. When you’re finished, please tell us about your experience by commenting, or sharing, or declaring.
And remember, Commune is an evolving environment; suggestions are welcome, and in the future you will be able to pick from several kinds of rooms and even make your own with your music and pictures and words.
