practice

moving from the abstract to application is where systems thinking comes alive, and generates the meaningful insights we need to create change.


here we share our community of practice, method guides and resources we’ve created to support your practice.

collective optimism book(ish) club

there is something really special about folks in the systems school.  when we come together things feel a little bit warmer, a little bit brighter and maybe even more hopeful. 

and sometimes we could use a little bit more of that in life.  

join us for a wee experiment to gather in community, share some goodness and maybe, in a small way help carry each other through. 

steps towards collective optimism...

you: pick any book, blog post, poem, song you like that, at large, has a connection to hope, healing, and optimism in the big and small systems we live in. then, pick 1 sentence or phrase, or passage to bring to the club. that's it.

we: gather online, say hello and move into small groups of 4-5 people to share our offering allow for space to hear about it's resonance. before we leave we allow the goodness to seep into our bones, our hearts and minds :)

how: we each take responsibility for the health of the whole, and contribute to collective facilitation, deep listening and offering of insights.  

me (seanna @ the systems school): lightly hold this gathering by offering the invitation to join, opening the virtual space, and creating a gentle framing for magic to unfold.
