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!

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.
Cultivating emergence: introduction
Generating Transformative Change is coming to Europe! I’m stoked!!
And we have an introductory online experience too, Cultivating Emergence. It is stand-alone. Come along in late Feb and March 2023.
Upshift: recalibrating,(re)connecting, transitioning
Connect more

Insight: for change
Single, double and triple-loop learning to go deeper. This helps us to reframe and reconceptualise, to go deeper and be more effective, around the things we are working on and care about.
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).

Shifting: our focus
By shifting our focus from the ‘level of emissions’ to the ‘rate of warming’ we can have an immeasurably better path than our current climate-crisis trajectory.

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.
