How can we transcend polarization? - Otto Scharmer

How do we transcend the escalating tides of polarization in our society? How do we contribute to momentums of curiosity, compassion, courage and innovation vs the falling into the patterns of disconnection, fear, hate, and destruction?

In moments of disruption, we have two choices: to turn away from current reality or turn toward and lean into the emerging future that stands in need of us. Otto Scharmer explains how the Presencing-Absencing cycle helps us to understand the key choice points that lead us toward, or away from, this future.
