Chapter 3 Unlocking collective potential: The IDG experience through bread baking– manifesting narrative playfulness, wonder, and imagination
-
Christophe Albert Julienne Kempkes
Abstract
Awakening the Collective Soul: This chapter dares you to bring more soulfulness into a mechanically driven world. It pushes the boundaries of imagination and wonder, urging you to radically rethink our constructed reality—because reality is our invention. Every one of us holds the autonomy and power to create it a new. Collectively, we are a transformative force. It all begins with becoming aware of your own transformative presence. But where do you start? By looking within, at yourself? Or by turning outward to others? Or is it the fusion of both that sparks true growth? This tale explores a deeply personal transformation through the simple act of baking bread. In the boring simplicity of daily breadmaking, unexpected values and deeper meanings rise to the surface—showing us that even the smallest, humblest actions can change the world. If you wish to transform (y)our world, you must first change the reality that underpins it.
Step into this soulful exploration, where every act of creation holds the potential to reshape everything.
