Abstract

Drawing on ancient wisdom and multiple forms of knowing, the U-Process is a theory, a dialogic process, a practice and a language. Tis article discusses the background of the process and the author's personal experiences with it.

Taken together these form wha tcan be thought of as a practice of regeneration and innovation. These capacities and conditions are not new or unique in any way but in a very real way have been marginalised in the hyper-rational public spaces of the West. The U-Process is an attempt to re-legitimise these capacities, to complement our rationality with non-rational ways of knowing. In accessing these spaces and capacities, we shift the place from which we act.
