Seeding potential at the intersection of inner and outer change

“The greatest revolution of our times is the way we see the world … that we belong to a living, self-organising cosmos.“
~ Joanna Macy 

 

The School of Being

What we do

We are living in complex, changing and uncertain times that require creativity, resilience, vision, collaboration, and well-being to meet the future more effectively and regeneratively.


The School of Being grows inner, relational and systemic capacity toward the transition to flourishing futures. We are cultivating a learning community to unlearn, learn, and restore well-being and reciprocity within ourselves, our relationships, and our natural world. We support the movement towards planetary flourishing by empowering people to see, sense, and think differently, enabling us to act differently, individually and collectively. Our focal areas are located at the intersection of inner and outer change : (1) BEING – Inner Development, (2) SENSING – Systemic Sensemaking and (3) ACTING – Manifesting Potential. We believe that developing resilience, agility, and creativity are essential for generating life-sustaining patterns that support this vital transition.

BEING
Inner Development

Our inner awareness informs how we see, sense and relate to others in our work, our communities, and the world. We help people to make the inner changes required for greater resilience, creativity, and ability to respond to work and life with greater presence, self-awareness, connection and wisdom.

 

SENSING
Systemic Sensemaking

Creating change requires systemic awareness and sense-making capability. Drawing upon diverse modalities, we help grow this capacity within individuals, teams and groups to better understand and make sense of complexity, navigate uncertainty, see new potential, and collaborate to mobilise change for better futures.

 

ACTING
Catalysing Potential

How we see, feel, perceive and sense informs how we think, act and create in the world. We work with teams and organisations to catalyse creativity, and collaboration, develop capacity for diverse forms of knowing, and activate individual and collective will, empowering people to co-create more flourishing futures.
