Now What?!
System Shifting Networks
October 14 - November 22, 2019
The concept of "system shifting" networks has been articulated by network weaving maven June Holley in a series of posts at www.networkweaver.com. Many of the Now What?! Partners are engaged in this approach to change.
What patterns, processes, and tools can we identify to support the growth and effectiveness of these networks?
MENDING THE HOOP OF LIFE:
A DEEP DIVE INTO DIVERSITY AND THE CLIMATE CRISIS MOVEMENT
What can we as people committed to global unity and correcting the errors of ignorance and denial that got us to this place of potential climate disaster, do to create inclusivity and why are we not doing those things?
Because I am committed to Unprecedented Leadership I cannot imagine leaders who do not address this issue. As someone who aspires to be an Unprecedented Leader, I would like to launch a Deep Dive with others to authentically, intelligently, lovingly and wholeheartedly excavate this multi-layered fragmentation that has shredded the hoop of life.
Beyond this investigation I would like to consider actions that make a difference and meet with people willing to implement such actions.
