Ontokinesis Applied Systems
Healing alienation, by many roads.
A family of ventures in art, education, writing, and research, each testing a different path back to contact.
EnterAlienation, from one another, from work, from inherited meaning, lies behind many problems that look separate. Ontokinesis Applied Systems treats it as one question and pursues it through several ventures, each distinct in form and united in aim.
Projects
Four ventures, one mission
Each venture approaches alienation from a different angle, with its own purpose, audience, and agreements.
Address Alienation
Coaching and education
One-on-one sessions for people who think deeply and want help finding meaning in the life and work they already have.
Opening Fields of Contact
Writing, video, and audio
A publishing platform for essays, talks, and conversations that develop the Ontokinesis framework in public.
Research and Curriculum
Philosophy, systems, teaching
The framework behind the enterprise and the teaching material built from it: manuscripts, a planned textbook, and modular courses.
How the work is held
Operating principles
I.
Many ventures, one mission
Each venture has its own purpose and audience, and each answers to the same aim: reducing alienation in a concrete, practical way.
II.
Plain terms
Agreements are written in language that the people who sign them can read and understand. Artists, clients, and partners know what is expected and what is owed.
III.
Honest scope
Each offering says what it is and what it is not. Coaching is not psychotherapy, and research is presented as research.
Take part
Make contact.
Readers, artists, clients, collaborators, and prospective partners are all invited to take part.
