An Economy of Right Relationship: Robin Wall Kimmerer in Conversation with Kate Raworth

Robin Wall Kimmerer, Potawatomi botanist, author of Braiding Sweetgrass and The Serviceberry, and Kate Raworth, economist and author of Doughnut Economics, share a deep conviction: that our current economic system is out of alignment with the living world, and that reimagining it is both urgent and possible.

Power, Polarization and Agency: Finding Our Way to Healthy Authority

In these times of political polarization and rising authoritarianism, it can be challenging to act with courage and skill. By exploring our own inner dynamics of power and polarization, we can find our way to healthy authority through Self-Leadership.

Each workshop will have a specific theme in which you’ll have a chance to “workshop” a particular personal or professional issue related to power and polarization through the practices of parts work.

Narrative, Hope, and Agency in Complexity: Acting in the World - Training

to Feb 26

Narrative, Hope, and Agency in Complexity: Acting in the World - Training

This light-weight training hosted by the Cynefin team draws from complexity science and human knowledge to explore the theory and practice of working actively, on the ground, in the moment, with intractable problems.

We look at how we make sense of the world in order to act in it. Story and narrative will be core, both as a way of understanding and sense-making and as an activator of creative imaginations that take us beyond what we see around us, and into the “more-than-human” realms.

Complexity, Story, and Sense-Making in Uncertain Times

Together with our panel, we’ll explore how story and narrative shape our sense-making, not just as tools for understanding but as catalysts for imagination, extending our vision into possibilities that lie beyond the immediate and into the “more-than-human” world. This discussion will set the stage for the training, offering a taste of how complexity thinking can guide practical action and deepen our appreciation that, in a complex system, no agent is without importance.

A two-part dialogue exploring how climate change features in the imagination and how we might imagine ways to address contemporary ecological and social challenges.

An Apprenticeship with Sorrow: Tending the Losses of Everyday Life w/ Francis Weller

This seminar will explore the elements of an Apprenticeship with Sorrow. Through the rites of grief, we are ripened as human beings.

This apprenticeship is, at its heart, about crafting elders capable of meeting the pain and suffering of the world with a dignified and robust bearing. This is soul activism—intended to foster deep cultural change.
