Enosis

The word ENOSIS is Greek for unity/bringing together

The use of the word and its meaning is central to the philosophy of dialogue between parties to arrive at the shared resolution of problems, be they at an individual or organisational level.

Too often we see things from a personal perspective or the prevailing view of the majority and do not explore the many dimensions of a problem or situation.

There are many ways to see our world and situation

For example, suppose four people are in a field, they are placed at each point on the compass and spread apart. In the middle of the four is a hot air balloon. This balloon is coloured half blue and half white.

Each can swear they are correct, until… we nudge them to take a different view. We see things differently because of our past experiences, biases, background, beliefs or how we feel in the moment. To achieve a shift, we must engage in open dialogue to seek to understand first before seeking to be understood.

In I’m Right and You’re an Idiot, Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson write:

The brain is designed with blind spots, optical and psychological, and one of the cleverest tricks is to confer on us the comforting delusion that we, personally, do not have any. In a sense, dissonance theory is a theory of blind spots-of how and why people unintentionally blind themselves so that they fail to notice vital events and information that might make them question their behaviour or their convictions.

At ENOSIS we will work with you to develop an inquiring mindset, to suspend judgement and to work on collaborative approaches to problems and situations encountered.
