Welcome to 33days
33days of systemic reflections is an invitation to reflect on your systemic practice and explore practical ideas for how you want to develop. Over 33 days you’ll receive daily writing prompts, resources to explore, and invitations to experiment - helping you translate your big intentions into everyday practices you can tend to. For example:
- Tell a story of something meaningful or an impactful shift that has happened in your life.
- What is the bigger whole or purpose you are or want to be contributing to? What ways of working do you have or want to cultivate to help you work towards this purpose?
If you are looking for more support to learn to navigate systems change, check out our other learning materials and courses.
"This 33 day of systemic reflections journey was more than reflection, it was a wake-up call. Huge thanks to the School of System Change for curating a process that demanded truth."

Who is 33days for?
You might be new to systems change looking for an opportunity to energise your practice, or perhaps you’re a well seasoned practitioner looking for space to reflect and recalibrate. Or maybe you’re looking to try out a different approach to annual intention setting and reflection, one that is grounded in paying attention to what is happening within and around you for 33 days.
.
You may be an individual looking for structured reflection or a team wanting to connect together as well as to others at the optional reflection call at the end of the 33 days.
.
Whatever your experience with systems change, we warmly welcome you to participate.
I have taken part in 33days before, can I sign up again?
Yes, we recommend taking part in 33days every few months or once each year so you can reflect on your journey as a systems-minded changemaker.
.
If you have taken part in 33days before, please note that the daily prompts will be the same. Similar to how you might practise the same yoga flow each week, we invite you to use 33days as a way to reflect on your progress and the similarities and differences between your answers then and now.
I’d like to share my reflections. How can I do this?
We would love to read your reflections on social media; you can tag the School on LinkedIn or Bluesky. If you would like to share feedback or comments privately, please email the School team at [email protected].
Who created this?
The questions and development of this process have been designed and developed by Anna Birney, Louise Armstrong and Sean Andrew as part of their ongoing inquiry into how we constellate and organise for change.
.
Clara Hesseler, Mairi Lowe and Sarena Chan co-lead the production of 33days. Learn more about the School enabling team.
Why 33?
The reflection takes place over 33 days as 33 is said to be the magic teacher number, revealing to us that 'all things are possible' and symbolising 'guidance'.
