Co-Intelligent Activism
From the co-intelligence perspective, activism is viewed as intentional, active citizenship. Activism does not have to be adversarial. Co-intelligent activism normally focuses on increasing the capacity of human communities and societies to co-create themselves in ways that serve and enhance life. It tends to focus more on process, dialogue and system dynamics than on specific social or environmental problems. At a deeper level, any activism that arises out of or feeds wholeness is co-intelligent activism.

Conscious evolutionary agents seek to use the life energy and situational dynamics they find in and around them -- including problems, possibilities, and crises -- to align the interests of the parts with the well-being of the whole.
