These more recent examples might also be considered as examples of reflexive links between different contextual stories (episodes of breakfast - and all the positions and complexity here - in a mutually influencing (but not necessarily of course equally) relationship with other contexts such as the broader ecological systems and so on. Some become tricky 'loops' (strange and charmed etc) that can leave us feeling stuck in patterns of meaning and action we do not prefer. The coordinated management of meaning (CMM) has some really elegant/sophisticated ways of making sense of these and exploring in detail how we might go on.
Hi Andrew, Many thanks for your lovely piece on double binds and "Combining". As I wrote in sharing your piece:
Double binds within Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) frameworks, and in orthodox community building and social service activities generally, are creative opportunities. For example, attending to Warm Data and approaching things in a different way can empower people. Befriend’s Possibility Fellowship, a unique three-month course, does just that.
Hi Andrew,
Nora and Triarchy have made it to the Dutch newspaper NRC:

How nice. Maybe some extra Dutch orders.
Best, Hester
Enjoyed this thanks Andrew.

If you haven't seen it, you might find my contribution of interest: https://medium.com/@prlebreton/the-double-bind-as-creative-imperative-a5825016aee1
We expect to be placing a bulk order with you for Combining within the next few days.
