Resumo

Este artigo descreve uma autoexploração do principal autor através de artefactos da sua própria infância, na tentativa de "dar voz" a características estruturantes na criança que foi, e se mantiveram no adulto que hoje é. Este relato pessoal e íntimo surge da colaboração dos autores no desenvolvimento da “Arqueologia Pessoal”, um exercício para pais e profissionais da infância baseado no trabalho da Fundação Learning for Well-being, que vê os indivíduos como sistemas inteiros. No centro desta abordagem, destacam-se os princípios dos sistemas vivos e o reconhecimento da “diversidade interior” — formas fundamentais de capturar e integrar experiências que organizamos individualmente para criar uma representação do mundo externo que nos é idiossincrática. O artigo inclui diretrizes para que o leitor possa explorar sua própria Arqueologia Pessoal—procurando artefactos (e.g. fotografias, objetos, desenhos, textos) e histórias que indiquem narrativas pessoais, atitudes e padrões de funcionamento que perduram ao longo do tempo.  Concluímos com uma reflexão sobre o valor de exercícios de autoexploração biográfica e a importância da questão da diversidade interior no bem-estar e participação de crianças e adultos.

Linda O'Toole, Learning for Well-being Foundation

At an early age I recognized, and was fascinated by, individual differences in people: specifically, their pacing, how they pay attention, the relative importance of story-telling, the amount of background information needed, and so forth. This fascination has been reflected in my life-long interest in noticing and describing the patterns through which people engage and process their inner and outer experiences, including how they select and express information. I refer to these patterns as “inner diversity” and I have come to believe that an understanding and capacity to work with our individual patterns of processing is foundational for a sense of wholeness and well-being, as well as our interactions with others. My professional work for more than thirty years has involved writing, training, and personal coaching in education, health care, and global corporations, with a focus on helping people integrate the cognitive, relational and sensory functions within a living system perspective. For the last eight years, I have helped develop the Learning for Well-being framework, finding a home within UEF for my approach to inner diversity, while I actively continue to explore new ideas and practices that can shift the awareness of those who implement them.
