Register Now For Dancing in the Field of Collective Wisdom with Alan Briskin, July 7th
On July 7, 2026, Beehive Productions will welcome Alan Briskin as a guest in its acclaimed Origin & Evolution Stories series.
The series highlights pioneers whose ideas and practices have helped shape the fields of facilitation, organizational learning, leadership, and systems change. Previous guests have included Peter Senge, Otto Scharmer, Meg Wheatley, and Juanita Brown.
In "Alan Briskin: Dancing in the Field of Collective Wisdom," Alan will reflect on a lifetime of inquiry into the hidden dimensions of human connection, collective intelligence, and the conditions that allow wisdom to emerge in groups. Drawing on research and practices that foreshadowed today's growing interest in the spiritual dimensions of group intelligence, the conversation will explore the experiences, questions, and discoveries that led to The Power of Collective Wisdom and, more recently, Space Is Not Empty: How Hidden Fields Are Shaping Your Life and Our World, co-authored with Mary V. Gelinas.
The program will offer a retrospective look at the evolution of ideas and practices that have helped expand our understanding of collaboration, shared meaning, and the deeper forces that shape collective life.

Consciousness wants to know itself.
Only ask Richard Feynman a “why” question if you’re ready to be baffled, amused, and unexpectedly enlightened. His explanation of magnets is part Socrates, part comic Professor Irwin Corey — and entirely a lesson in how invisible forces shape everything.
