Monthly Meetups (online)
At 7:00 – 8:15 pm AEDT on May 27 : The Intelligence in Our Bodies: Tuning into Deeper Guidance
We’re delighted to introduce Being Well, a new monthly online series designed to nurture wellbeing within ourselves, our relationships, and the living world around us.
In today’s fast-paced culture, we often witness signs of distraction, disconnection, and distress. Lets together explore how our personal wellbeing is deeply intertwined with the wellbeing of our environment and each other.
Join us online as we build a supportive community focused on deepening our connection to inner well-being, reciprocity, and the natural rhythms of the Earth.
Nervous System Workshop
(online)
Our nervous systems shape how we experience the world — affecting our ability to connect, collaborate, and create. Yet, most of us move through life without a deep understanding of how our nervous system works or how we can support it. This online workshop introduces Polyvagal Theory as a powerful tool for understanding and regulating your nervous system. Whether you’re navigating high-pressure work environments, engaging in deep creative work, leading teams, or simply seeking more balance in your daily life, this session offers practical insights and strategies to help you build resilience, strengthen relationships, and cultivate a greater sense of ease.
System Sensing for Changemakers
(online)
Tue, 29 Apr, 12pm – 1:15pm AEST
Join us for an immersive exploration of Systems Sensing, a practice that taps into the innate wisdom of our senses to support change makers working on societal, environmental, and social challenges. This special event celebrates the launch of Foundations of Systems Sensing: An Exploratory Guide to the Sensing Journey Method with Nancy Zamierowski, a co-author and contributors Jax Wechsler and Viv Sung.
Together, we’ll dive into the roots of the practice and its value in navigating complexity, moving beyond the intellect to engage our whole being in sensing and responding to change. Through an experiential activity, we’ll explore how deepening our sensory awareness can unlock new insights, strengthen our capacity for transformation, and help us work more intuitively with living systems.

Climate Action through Systems Thinking
13 Mar, 5:30-7:30pm AEST
To tackle climate change effectively, we need to think big and embrace a systems thinking approach to reveal how the climate crisis is deeply interconnected with other global challenges across ecological, social, cultural, and economic factors.
Join us for a dynamic, hands-on workshop featuring three inspiring changemakers pioneering alternative economic models for climate action, alongside three systems thinking experts, including a talented visual storyteller who will bring our conversation to life in real time on the big screen.
Together, we’ll engage in thought-provoking discussions and collaborative activities to sketch a live visual systems map of the climate crisis. This exercise will uncover the root causes, ripple effects, and complexities of the issue, highlighting where meaningful actions can drive real impact – both in Sydney and on a global level.

Listening, perspective-taking and reflective practice support wise decision-making. Embodied reflective practices can help us see situations from new perspectives.

Navigating our Practice from Personal to Collective
Changemakers are navigating complex contexts. We want to contribute to positive change in our worlds – including environmental, political, cultural, societal, economic, and technological. We want to contribute to a future of flourishing, for our children and future generations. But what do we need to flourish? And how might we become more resilient so that we can meet systemic challenges? Join Alissa Fleet, Viv Sung, Jax Wechsler and your design peers in a listening circle to reflect and explore together.
