What can complexity science and contemplative practice offer change makers?
When you're working for systems change in messy, people-filled environments, three things matter: understanding how complex systems actually behave, developing the inner capacity to sense and participate in what is emerging - and having sound methods and theory.
Join Alexandra Robinson and Ivo Mensch for a two-hour workshop bringing together anthro-complexity science and contemplative practice. We'll work with how these disciplines complement each other – and what that means practically for your work.
What we'll explore:
Starting from sensing the present rather than planning distant futures. How contemplative practice and complexity science both point beyond the individual as the primary sense-maker. Why coherence sometimes requires disassembling existing patterns rather than fixing them. The difference between trying to predict outcomes versus participating in emergence.
Topics we'll cover:
Examining assumptions in our theories of change
Choosing an action-logic suited to different contexts
Difference and plurality as creative potential for coherence
Opening possibility spaces through how you perceive and participate
Practices and methods for sensing what's actually present
This isn't about five-year strategies. It's about reflexivity, inquiry, and noticing how perception itself shapes what becomes possible. When systems no longer serve, the issue often lies in outdated ways of perceiving them – that is where we begin.
