Working with complexity to contribute to a more just and sustainable world
We are living in a time of multi-level and interconnected crises. We are experiencing these both at local and global levels. Each of us is impacted, whether we face:
-
changes in our organisations due to impending global recession or other external factors,
-
safety in our homes and community because of extreme climate conditions, wars or pandemics,
-
loss of biodiversity and ecological degradation due to unsustainable practices.
The status quo is no longer an option as this leads to climate denial, continuation of extraction and colonial practices, and ‘hero’ style leadership. This level of complexity is inviting each of us to cultivate new:
-
ways of perceiving that enables us to operate from a new worldview
-
skills that allows us to grow into relating and connecting differently,
-
collaborative approaches where solutions are discovered through transdisciplinary and collective means.
Many of us are already involved in the search of discovering regenerative futures. Whether you are a social innovator, organisational leader, school teacher, family member, we know radical change is needed. We know that the urgency and imperative we are experiencing in our different contexts, is inviting us to embrace the complexity in these challenges, learn and move to new levels of living and working.
-
How do we do this?
-
How do we become aware that our current worldview might be what is blocking us and how do we learn a new one?
-
How do we move beyond the ‘hero’ image of a leader and the individualism that many of us live in?
-
How do we learn collaborative skills such as listening, sensing, discerning?
-
How do we create the conditions for more participative societies to arise?
The Art of Hosting offers the awareness and practices necessary to face complexity as we transition between paradigms and collaboratively create new ways of organising towards new regenerative futures. It is a practice that prioritises diversity and collaboration where we discover and cultivate new collective intelligence together.
It is experiential and hands-on. We exchange knowledge, experience participatory methods, explore mental models and theories of complexity and systems thinking. We dive into new forms of leadership, based on Living Systems, where interconnection, collaboration and self-organising around purpose lead to results for collective wellbeing.
In our experiential trainings, you’ll be guided by an international team of Art of Hosting practitioners with combined experience in diverse sectors, from government to business to non-profit.
