Working courageously into an unknowable future

Learn to bring more of your whole self to your systems change work from a more spacious and enlivening perspective.

It's tough right now for changemakers, on the surface of things. Join Joy Green to dive to a more spacious and enlivening perspective that will also help you bring in a more systemic approach to your life and work.

Through three online sessions, deepen and refresh your perspective by learning to work deeply with Intention and Attention, and release from zombie ‘tacit futures’. Learn a simple approach and framework to help you bring more of your whole self to your work and to work from your heart.

What you will learn

Session one

  • Acknowledge nonlinearities and profound shifts 
  • Explore ‘tacit futures’ and ‘zombie tacit futures’ that restrict us and our work
  • Work with Intention and Metaphor for systemic insight

Session two

  • Work with the Iceberg framework to discern and pay attention to different systemic levels
  • Approach challenging system dynamics from a place of deep Intention

Session three

  • Explore basic foresight through deep Intention and Attention, and Metaphor

This short course is offered in collaboration between Joy Green and School of System Change as part of the Seedling Series: short courses supporting changemakers to embrace complexity through discovering the diversity of systemic approaches and practitioners.
