🌌 Enthinkment Circle: A THINK TANK with Heart

“Where Being meets Becoming, and the Heart-Story expands beyond time itself.”

🧠 What Is Enthinkment?

In 1978, Professor Louis R. Pondy whispered a revolutionary word—Enthinkment—in conversation with Karl Weick while walking through the cornfields of Illinois. Though initially spoken in jest, this moment planted a seed that would take root decades later.

Where Weick’s “Enactment” focuses on how we shape reality through sensory action, Enthinkment invites us to explore the invisible terrain—the mental, quantum, and poetic dimensions of meaning-making.

It is a path of reflective questioning, not just of ideas, but of the very pathways by which organizations and individuals come to know and act.
