Stories and Examples of Co-Intelligence

The more we notice and use co-intelligence, the more attuned we become to the wholeness, interconnectedness, and co-creativity of life in and around us. It is not too much to say that the whole world is alive with potential co-intelligence. We can join, evoke and work with it, but first we have to notice it and recognize the situations that cry out for it to be used. Sharing stories about our experiences with co-intelligence can help sensitize us to its presence and possibilities.

The following stories offer some examples of co-intelligence in action. Some have commentaries exploring some of the lessons we might draw from them. At the bottom of the page are some "imagineering" stories, visions of what it could be like to apply co-intelligence more broadly.

These are stories of things that really happened (or are happening)
