From my site, in development, and open to constructive input.
Brandon WilliamsCraig asserts the copy right to be involved in decision making regarding use of all original articulations on this site, it's HTML content and files, and on the following original ideas and terms articulated here, as well as at abcglobal.net, beamish.org, guardiansofpeace.org, and processarts.org. Though by contemporary law I "own" these framing ideas, this approach seems profoundly restrictive and contrary to their development. They do represent my considerable creative effort as well as that of the persons who have had influential collaborative input. I/we use this cultural fantasy of Ownership to request the building of relationship around creative collaboration. Put more simply, if you want to use these terms and ideas contact me and include me in the process by name and by making collaborative choices.

For instance, the original idea "Process Arts" suggests the following interrelated ideas:
1) Human cultures are shifting toward tending the way of interaction at least as attentively as the products that result. How is becoming consciously as important as What we make. Examples of this trend, the language for which originated in the new "Psychology" of the 20th Century, include coaching, the wide use of outside-system consultants and facilitators, mediation, therapy, etc.
2) Conscious and unarticulated methods are becoming more and more prevalent which assist in this shift and contribute to building Communities Of Understanding which are capable of dealing with the complexity of contemporary abstract systems only because many people are working together on how they work together. Examples include Processwork (Mindell), Quaker Meeting, Focusing (Gendlin), Organizational Development, Council Circles (indigenous), Non-violent Communication (Rosenberg), mythography (Doty), Group Therapy, Community Building (Peck), many forms of martial and performing arts, etc. A fine place to begin expanding this list for yourself might be here.
3) Naming and thereby qualifying these "Process Arts" by how they are practiced, rather than who founded/owns them or what they tangibly produce, is a participation in an educational intervention in culture that values this shift at least as deeply as the training in the Liberal Arts modern nations almost universally speak of promoting. Thus process-level education is expected as widely as reading, writing, arithmetic, and their various scientific products, and leaders may be expected to have at least a working familiarity with process-level skills.
When you refer to some method, approach, or application as a "Process Art," please credit me (Brandon Williamscraig) with origination of the term and provide your own clarifications as necessary. Here is one example where this has been done well.
