WHAT IS IT ?
We are a community of practice for designers, changemakers, conveners, and leaders in a world that's unraveling.
This summer we gather in a four series online PODS where we are going to practice some skills that are essential for our regenerative futures.
It is an invitation to return: to our Selves and to our interdependent systems - as living, co-arising reflections.
THE PAIN POINTS
Systems thinkers feel overwhelmed, frozen in despair.
Designers forget how to truly listen, stuck in methodologies.
Leaders get caught in structure, missing what wants to emerge.
Activists burn out in anger and frustrations, disconnected from deeper ground.
Resonate? We meet in these edges, and we gather to transform them.
This is a space to step beyond just tools and talk. Together, we practice human technologies, irreplaceable by AI:
Sensing. Presence. Coherence. Listening. Imagination.
Have we been using our full capacity as human beings, as leaders, as designers?

Working at the level of collective systems demands more than tools — it requires an inner filter. A capacity to sense and discern what is yours and what is not. But what does it really mean to find your center? Can we act, learn, and relate to complex systems while staying rooted in what is truly ours to carry? And what somatic stances allow us to inquire and act with clarity?
In this pod, we explore self-inquiry as the first layer of systems practice — especially in this era of rupture and reconfiguration. We’ll work with somatic stances and embodied awareness as tools of self-authorship and anchoring.
We’ve all been taught how to speak. But few of us have ever been taught how to truly listen. Often, our version of “listening” is tuned only to data: what’s useful, what’s next, what’s wrong. We miss the texture underneath; the emotion, the body cues, the pauses, the unsaid.
In this pod, we’ll slow down to explore listening as an embodied, intentional act. We’ll notice what gets in the way; our thoughts, our moods, our need to fix or respond. We’ll explore the many layers of listening through practice and reflection. Together, we’ll tune into the subtle, and ask: what becomes possible when we listen beyond data?
From deep listening, powerful questions arise. Not the ones we plan in advance or pull from a script; but the ones that emerge from presence. In research, work, or even daily conversations, we often bring questions shaped by what we think we need to know. But what about the questions we can’t yet see?
In this pod, you’ll experience what it means to ask questions that matter; ones that open, not close; ones that cut deeper into the heart of the matter. We’ll reflect on what this means for your life and work, and how your questions help other see more clearly. Together, we’ll rediscover how powerful a single, well-rooted question can be.
Why do stories feel so powerful—yet the moment we try to write one, we freeze? Why does something so human suddenly feel so hard? What should we say? How do we stay fair, honest, and meaningful? And will it truly matter to others?
This course is about making storytelling simple again—not through technique, but through truth. It’s not about writing perfectly. It’s about stepping through the threshold and letting others walk with you.
