Emérgéntly Seed Spirals
Try sowing these 4 seeds to emerge gently into a regenerative future and give Nature a seat at the table.
Seeds, when nourished, emerge into a new order, a new system. The Emérgéntly Spiral is a nature-based, metaphorical framework that guides us toward emergent solutions and actions. These 4 Emérgéntly Seed Spirals will help re-mind your understandings of how we can better receive and apply Mother Nature's principles to our own challenges.
The seeds to sow for transformational change are:
Four Principles to solidify systems-thinking;
Four Eco Ego imperatives to unify us to collaborate interdependently;
Four Functions to energise us to be more eco-logical.
Four Practices to transform how we adapt to uncertainty.
Principles Spiral |
Eco Ego Spiral  |
|
When EGOs understand that it's no longer about what I need...but rather, what the system needs... then Nature's principles of diversity and interdependence allow the emergence of synergy! More on the Principles Spiral |
Values to explore when you, your team, your community need integrity reminders, holistic solutions and peaceful outcomes. |
Functions Spiral |
Practices Spiral |
|
The metaphors: Fire, Earth, Water, Air, reflect the nature of action—the four interdependent functions of a whole system. More on the Functions Spiral |
Emérgéntly works best with Next Practice in the FIRE realm of high complexity and uncertainty. More on the Practices Spiral |
