Visual Scribing: A Social Art of Deep Presence & Listening. I feel it is a regenerative, collective therapeutic for relational learning & attunement.

As a scribe, I deeply listen to the content presented in the social field, and hone the skill of drawing what is sensed there in real time. I feel into the vibrational energy of what is being said, re-interpreting and offering it for the purpose of evoking a new view and insight of the content. I use watercolors, markers, gel pens, and sometimes a digital IPAD. Sometimes I scribe for independent consultants but mostly I practice with our online U Love Visual Scribing Group. Unlike Generative Scribing, which originated as a single-scribe social art with Kelvy Bird within the Framework of Otto Scharmer’s Theory U work, I scribe to a video or dialogue for 10-20 minutes, followed by a collective mirroring session wherein each scribe senses others images through statements such as “I see. I sense. I feel.” We suspend judgment and remain open to what new insights want to be born during the session. In 2023, we began a 4-month Ulab 2x Inquiry to better grasp the nature of our online work together. Presented here are Visual Scribings since 2020.
