[Ailist] Helping Each Other Thrive - Appreciatively

[Mike Sands]

Does anyone know of any groups of people who meet and to use appreciative process to solve problems, create opportunities and to generally "help each other thrive."

When I say meet it includes face to face, by telephone or other means and can include "one with one" or larger numbers.  I suppose such meetings could be called self-mentoring, or reflective practise or other.

I am starting some groups in the Vancouver BC area for this purpose and would be very interested to hear about other such groups. 

In my experience simply the exchange of D1 - Discovery  - being able to extend "appreciative attention" and to receive it  - provides an enormous boost to life quality. In informal group circustances the other 3 D's don't necessarily get formal attention - but are evidenced throughout the conversations.
