Upcoming INFO EVENT in Bern - January 21, 2026
When the present feels overwhelmingly complex, unstable, and uncertain, we start searching.
We search for new paths into a better future, dreaming of beautiful worlds where our current, deep and systemic problems are eliminated.
Are you already searching?
The Catalyst Lab invites you on a journey that consists of three elements of this quest:
an introduction to systems thinking tools and methodologies to learn to look deeply and fearlessly at what is present
a personal awareness training, to acquire the strength and resilience to feel and to accept the complexities and contradictions, the paradoxes and double binds, present in our current reality
an exploration of different paths to step into the work of co-creating the future
TRANSITIONS - CATALYST LAB 2026
Our signature 7-months-long learning journey, including an extended exploration of personal development, and the support to craft your own path into the future.
About the Catalyst Lab:
The Catalyst Lab is a 7-month-long learning journey for individuals and teams seeking to learn about systems thinking, systems change, awareness-based systems change methodologies and participatory processes.
We explore different aspects of the question: How do living systems change? The concept of living systems includes the complex social and cultural systems that hold our way of life and work in place. What makes it so difficult to catalyse societal-level change even in the face of the enfolding ecological crisis? How do organisations, institutions, and societies change?
The Catalyst Lab supports the participants (Catalysts) in gaining a deeper understanding of the system and topic they are working on. During the process, participants acquire methodological competencies to drive awareness-based systems change, and up-to-date knowledge about the requirements for transformation.
The Catalyst Lab offers an in-depth and multifaceted support to find individual paths into the work of co-creating the future. Throughout the entire 7 months, you will be personally accompanied and receive coaching, support, and guidance for your individual learning journey — in the form that best suits your needs.
The Catalyst Lab is a collaboration between step into action (a do-tank for future skills) and collaboratio helvetica.
