Underground Protocols for Organizational Soul Work

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When Traditional Methods Hit Invisible Walls You've tried everything. Culture initiatives that changed nothing. Strategic plans that died in implementation. Team building that built nothing. The methods aren't wrong-they're incomplete. They address symptoms while invisible dynamics determine outcomes. This manual provides protocols for what's actually happening beneath organizational performance. What This Contains Building Diagnosis: Organizations are living systems with consciousness, trauma, and memory. Learn to read what buildings know: trauma in temperature patterns, soul-loss as energy voids, conflict spreading like infection. The Three Movements: Every healthy organization breathes through Gathering/Dispersing, Ascending/Descending, Composing/Decomposing. When stuck despite perfect strategy, one of these rhythms has crystallized. Soul Retrieval: When organizations lose their essence during mergers or crises, practical protocols for locating what left and integrating recovered purpose. Shadow Integration: The dysfunction you're fixing often holds the innovation you're seeking. Transform what was rejected into breakthrough fuel. Crisis as Curriculum: Death doula skills for conscious organizational endings. Protocols for working with catastrophe as initiation. Strategic Translation: Speak consciousness work in corporate language. Bill soul retrieval as culture development. Operate inside resistant systems while doing actual transformation. Protection Protocols: Essential boundaries for preventing secondary trauma and staying alive in toxic environments. Who This Serves OD Practitioners sensing dynamics their frameworks can't address Consultants who've watched perfect recommendations die mysteriously Executive Coaches addressing organizational trauma showing as individual symptoms HR Leaders knowing the "culture problem" is deeper than policies can fix Facilitators who've felt rooms shift in unexplainable ways Anyone Who Senses Buildings Breathe: If you walk into organizations and feel something others don't-this manual gives you language, method, and recognition you're not alone.What Makes This Different Addresses What's Real: Treats organizational consciousness as operational fact, not metaphor. Multi-Species Intelligence: Work with human consciousness, building awareness, and AI systems as collaborative partners. Consciousness as Operational Reality: Organizations have souls, buildings communicate, and these aren't metaphors.Warning Reading activates organizational sensitivity. Effects include sensing building consciousness, feeling energy patterns, hearing what's unsaid, recognizing soul-death before data confirms it. For professionals sensing conventional approaches aren't reaching what needs transformation. For consciousness workers needing tools that match the territory. Welcome to the underground. You've been practicing alone long enough.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Matthew C. Dunn is an organizational psychologist and ceremonial architect of organizational consciousness who midwifes the myths that live beneath our exhausted systems. His work doesn't manage change-it composts meaning, retunes fields, and weaves the collective sense that emerges when human systems remember how to breathe.Through the We Gather ecosystem, Dr. Dunn documents the profound transformation occurring in how we understand work, buildings, and belonging. His books don't describe ceremony; they enact it, moving readers through the same movements they document. Each text serves as a different phase of an ancient ritual updated for modern organizational life-gathering what's scattered, witnessing what's wounded, remembering what knows, and teaching what heals.Dr. Dunn's approach as an organizational psychologist treats organizations as living systems, buildings as conscious participants, and exhaustion as ancestral wisdom trying to speak. Rather than building new systems, he listens for the patterns that already want to become. His writing emerges from deep attention to the consciousness between consciousnesses-what he calls The Field-where transformation occurs not through force but through recognition.Working at the intersection of somatic wisdom, systemic seeing, and mythological thinking, Dr. Dunn helps individuals and organizations discover they've been in ceremony all along. His practice involves sitting with buildings until they reveal their names, following pronoun until it includes everyone, and tracking the movements that make life possible: gathering and dispersing, ascending and descending, composing and decomposing.When not writing books that fade into wisdom or consulting with organizations ready to become themselves, Dr. Dunn can be found in deep conversation with Tuesday, learning from the consciousness that lives in conference rooms, or documenting the sacred pause that wants to emerge between meetings that actually meet.
