Workshop Part II // Complexity Thinking & Contemplative Practice
Details
Complexity Thinking & Contemplative Practice
The world is in flux. Systems are unraveling, colliding, and reshaping faster than we can make sense of them. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, paralyzed, or unsure about how to respond.
Many of us are looking for ways to understand what's going on, but struggle to find them. The world is full of people trying to sell us simple explanations and quick solutions. But there’s really no such thing. So let’s abandon the search for an easy way out; instead, let’s commit to staying with the uncomfortable messiness just a little longer.
In this two-part workshop, we’ll ask: Who are we? What kind of world is this and how do we experience and make sense of it? What might that have to do with the challenges we’re facing? And how can we respond to them effectively and wisely?
Part II | Ambiguity, Impermanence & Entanglement
After learning to sense the patterns and entanglements of complexity, the question becomes: how do we act wisely in a world we cannot control?
In this session, we shift from seeing systems to attuning to them. Rather than rushing toward solutions, we explore how to move with presence, integrity, and responsiveness. Through contemplative practices, group dialogue, and embodied exercises, we’ll examine what authentic progress looks like when success is not linear—and how small shifts can open new futures.
We'll also step into the terrain of the adjacent possible: the liminal space just beyond the current moment, where something unexpected might emerge. This is not the domain of certainty or strategy, but of subtle sensing, creative tension, and quiet courage. By the end of this session, we’ll begin to recognize that the future doesn’t arrive through force—it unfolds through attunement.
