What we’re about
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.
Together, we’ll dive into the basics 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.
Come ready to sense, reflect, and connect. We are sensing beings—what wisdom is waiting to be felt?
