Joel Glanzberg will be leading us in this participatory workshop.

All living systems follow the same patterns, from ecosystems to economies, and organisms to organizations. learning to read these patterns we can find the small changes that can have systemic effects. This is how nature works and how we need to learn to work in order to shift the personal, professional, and planetary patterns that are driving the degeneration of living communities. In a participatory format we will learn a new perspective and work with systems frameworks in both movement and thought to discover the appropriate disturbances and design systemic change processes.
