At the core of collective wisdom practices are positive emotions such as appreciation, care, love, and non judgment. These positive emotions have the effect of creating synchronized responses of heart, mind, body, and spirit in groups.

Sometimes participating in or even listening to or watching a musical performance, dance troupe, or athletic event can be a profound experience. We experience directly the power of synchronized responses - feeling our boundaries expand with joy, delight, even transcendence.

As one such example of collective wisdom in action, we think you will enjoy the following videos for their combination of choreography, spontaneity, seriousness of purpose and just plain fun.
