Hi TOKers,
Please find attached the slides of Steve Keffer's talk, where he reviewed the evidence for the relational patterns/needs of hunter-gatherers and found that they can be seen as creating a system that created a dialectical tension between fostering "relational autonomy" and "vibrant community" in a way that helped create a mutually satisfying/enhancing relational field. They achieved this by fostering very close group ties, minimizing direct dominance hierarchies, and allowing for both independence and group/consensus based decision making. I think there is much to learn in this talk about how we might balance "self and other" or "self and society" in a way that allows for the maximization of relational value for all.
Best,
Gregg
