In this workshop, you are invited to step beyond traditional frameworks of thought and explore a holistic approach to understanding the world. Through systems thinking and systems being, we will journey into the art of ‘staying with the trouble,’ learning to remain fully present and engaged in an ever-evolving reality. This is not just about acquiring knowledge—it's about experiencing new dimensions of knowing through your entire being.
This workshop offers more than the exploration of trending and fascinating frameworks in the area of systems thinking; it provides nourishment for your inner being, encouraging you to tap into the profound wisdom that resides within you. Through different practices, you will discover how information can surface from the depths of your own inner stillness.
Discover diverse methods of knowledge and sense-making, whether you bring your own inquiry or find a new focus with our guidance. Learn to integrate thinking, dreaming, movement, dialogue, writing, and creation into a unified practice for transformative systems sensing.
