About Anna-Marie Swan

Living in Exeter, Devon (UK), on the cusp of Dartmoor and the Jurassic Coast, my ongoing discovery of myself as an ecological creature saturates my work, interests, and perspectives. After authoring the story of ecological organisations and the accompanying Ecological Organisations: A Design Lens in 2023, released under Creative Commons, a whole new world has opened up that I'm loving exploring: humans and organisations as ecological. As edged and edge-less, of relationship and of interbeing, and wonderfully and irreparably entangled within social systems, ecosystems, the more-than-human, and this planet.I also host time-bound, small group facilitated explorations utilising a form of enquiry I'm developing called ecological enquiry. This includes exploring facilitation through ecological enquiry within the Facilitation Pods Commons. I write about my work and other things in the substack Cellular Rearranging, and host and produce the podcast Generative Worlding. For all things ecological organisations, including downloading the design lens, please head to ecologicalorganisations.org. For everything else, please head to annamarieswan.com.

  • Ecological Organisations Constellation
    Founding Steward
    Ecological Organisations Constellation Jan 2024 - Aug 2024
    The members of this constellation have gathered around a shared care and commitment: to better know ourselves as ecological, to better know organisations as ecological, to better care for the role of stewardship within and without organisations. To practically apply the framework to real-work organisational design and implementation and share our learnings with each other and as creative commons. To evolve our understanding of what it means to become a more ecological organisation, how we can guide others into this way of relating with an organisation, and to evolve the framework itself. To practice attentive listening, attuning to the social field, being in circle together, shared sense-making, and how we can better hold individual and shared wisdom and curiosities.

    In early 2022, a small group of organisational, community, and group facilitators gathered around a shared sense that we are entering the era of facilitation.We support each other to learn more about ourselves as facilitators, expand our reach, and experiment with creating an organisational mutual aid. We also design and host OF-led offerings and work with clients as facilitators, coaches, and consultants.We believe that groups, communities, and organisations needs every member to bring their full knowledge, intelligences, experience, and insights into the conversation and actively engage in co-creating a healthy, creative, and participatory environment. We call this 'Artful Participation'. Facilitation can help us create the conditions that support it.

    I got to spend some time with this London-based not-for-profit at a time when they were expanding offices overseas and discovering that times like that aren't easy for anyone to go through. Again, though, blown away by the level of care and dedication that people that work for organisations like this put into making the world a better place.

Joining in the midst of a painful organisation-wide redesign, with massive redundancies, I got to experience first hand how our traditional organisational structures don't work very well anymore. I also got to meet some extremely talented and committed human beings that worked (and still work) their arses off to be doing good in the world.
