Transformation
“Our future, ourselves, our planet and our stories, it’s all entangled” ― Festina LentÍvaldi*
On this page you’ll find stories about transformation. Enabling it. Helping to catalyse future potentials, alleviating much suffering for all.
Climate consciousness
70 students, a UN, MIT & Vienna simulation meet Integral. With inner and outer development can we transform humanity’s, and our planet’s temperature, trajectory? Try it!
Coming home
We belong to and are of the Earth but we bypass our sense of belonging. I missed this leaving home and my story mirrors our larger, human-wide journey. What do I need to come home?
Love Life Aliveness
We know transformation emerges from new ways of thinking and being. However, the how is less clear. Three calls for this: to love, to aliveness, to life. Two practices. One love!
About transformations
Transformations is about emerging change—our world’s destabilising as some things get exponentially worse, some exponentially better. It can’t last and futures that encompass interlinked pieces—e.g. climate emergency solutions such as women’s access to education for fairness, equity and beneficial carbon drawdown—are what we can create.
If this sounds like a new level of thinking, it is! A paradigm shift, triple-loop change and new business models.
This page started with the Transformations 2019 conference in Chile. On the last day, Friday, 18 October, Santiago exploded. What’s happening in Chile mirrors pain and trauma around the world.
You’ll see Chile posts cover the events as well as interconnections and what we can do to help catalyse new futures, large system changes, justice and to address emergencies (including climate).

Unfolding realities
One in fifty billion: At these odds I’m looking for what else is real and, while it does not serve me to hold onto conventional worldviews, unfolding into bigger realities is challenging.
Un-socialised
We all have developmental tethers. They are echos of our old selves. They are usually in various states of integration. Try exploring them while being gentle with yourself.
2.0 Conceptual to perceptual
A shift from conceptual to perceptual and how do I feel now?
I’m massively buoyed by all of the extraordinary collaborative components that are allowing and validating the positive changes within us all. You’ll see how alive this set of connections is in me in the cover picture too.
Easter unfolding
I am absorbed as I step into the galleries exploring a timeling of growth—our society changing for collecitve care.
It has been done in art. Done in enduring collective structures. And I feel deeply connected to the inner shifts that are developed and illustrated in these Florence galleries.
Integral: Emergence
This experiential dive into individual and collective emergence, explores generative listening, embracing polarities, and embodying presence. We will learn about and practice with awakened wholeness.
How to: Nurture the fields of change
ow? can we nurture holistic system change in the world? can we open to nature and collective wisdom? are mind, heart, body and spirit engaged in our work? do we inspire coherent action for transformational outcomes? do we experience and approach...

Make haste – slowly, powerfully, minimally
“Hasten slowly” said Augustus. Oh, this is hard. To imagine what can be created, to hold back, to act; to engage means delving into both despair and hope. That’s where we’re challenged to see the powerful in what we do which is always minimal and micro. Feeling adequate in the face of manifest inadequacy. Weaving together the pieces that hasten, slowly and steadily, benevolution.
