The Embodied Inter-be(com)ing of Spirituality: The In-Between as Spiritual Sphere in Practically Wise Organizations

Abstract

Based on phenomenology, this chapter shows the significance of the body and an embodied spirituality for organizations situated in in a ‘World of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity’ (VUCA). Following an integrative re-membering in relation to the nexus of ‘self-other-things’ and an enfleshed integral being in organization Merleau-Ponty ’s concept of Flesh is presented as elemental carnality and formative medium. Furthermore, this contribution discusses implications of an enfleshed spirituality in relation to an inter-practice and inter-be(com)ing in ‘organic-izations ’.
