Conscious Collaboration
What does conscious collaboration mean? In this episode of the Reclamation, The Reclas: Justin, Tonya, and Neva gather together to talk about the true meaning of collaboration. Collaboration lessens the friction going on every day. It serves as a bridge for everybody to connect in love and grace. Through collaboration, people start to grow the willingness to enjoy and have fun creating things with other people. Tune in to know how conscious collaboration is far distinct from cooperation.
Tonya Dawn Recla:
Hello everyone, and welcome back with us here on Reclamation. We’re very excited that you’re here with us today. I am joined by my lovely family, Miss Neva Lee Recla.
Neva Lee Recla:
Hello.
Tonya Dawn Recla:
And Mr. Justin Recla.
Justin Recla:
I’m here.
Tonya Dawn Recla:
And here we are. Now we actually throw around a lot of pronouns in our house, so maybe I shouldn’t say, Miss Neva Lee Recla. I could say, what’s the?
Neva Lee Recla:
Mx.
Tonya Dawn Recla:
Mx. Neva Lee Recla and mx. Justin Recla, I don’t know. Anyway, we like to play with fluidity. So moving on because today’s topic is all around conscious collaboration, and actually that’s very much related to fluidity. This is the March theme in our community. So excited about that. And also the IM series on teams that work. And it walks through cooperation, collaboration, and co-creation because these are dynamics that we work within our home. We work within our, Justin and I work within our marriage.
We work within our family dynamics and we work with and build and cultivate in our organizations. Super exciting stuff when you start to harness it. But what do we mean by conscious collaboration, right? This is way beyond cooperation, right? Cooperating makes any kindergarten cooperate, right? Just making them follow the rules. But collaboration means both a willingness to collaborate, a willingness to work with others, and also an ability to, right? And those are two dynamics that we work with a lot in our house. So Neva from that angle, what to you is one of the biggest benefits of playing in these collaborative spaces? Why do you enjoy doing it?
Neva Lee Recla:
I think one of the best parts of collaboration is one, it reduces the friction that you experience today, and it gets you to a point where you’re able to meet everybody in love and grace if that makes sense. So like, when you’re, even if it’s just one person in that space of collaboration, it makes it easier for everybody to connect.
Tonya Dawn Recla:
Okay. I like that. I like that. Just, how about you?
Justin Recla:
I don’t have to do it all.
Tonya Dawn Recla:
Mm. I like that.
Justin Recla:
I don’t have to carry things that aren’t mine and I can allow people to carry the things that they’re meant to carry and bring into the middle. And so for me, it’s a while I might be able to, it doesn’t necessarily mean I should, and it’s a lot more fun to create with other people.
Tonya Dawn Recla:
Well, mine’s kind of a culmination of those in this sense of we get to go further. Like truly my experience was I hit the point where I can’t go any further unless I go with others like that was the very clear guidance as I culminated my personal journey. And it was like, but wait, there’s more. And it’s like, whoa, hold on, who signed on for this? Right. So this is what we’re going to dive into today when we come back from the break.
