We live in uncertain and complex times. I am committed to a decolonising journey with awareness-based practices to co-create and meet the current challenges of life in Families, Schools, Communities, and all systems we have created.I want to contribute to creating, socially and environmentally just and equitable communities and Social and Economic Eco-systems where children, youth and young people are held at the core of why we do what we do.I collaborate with groups and individuals who wish to gain insight and find ways to communicate that gets to the heart of matters with a healing intention that brings joy through taking steps toward shared, desired futures. More people notice that disconnections from our planet, one another & within our Selves, act as blind spots to our current reality. The results of these disconnects & blind-spots create results that almost nobody wants, every day, in the systems we continue to create.eg: Government, Education, Health, Technology, Economy, Environment, Business and Communities.Every day I choose to do my best to stay conscious my actions are aligned with my intentions. this sounds simple but it is not at all easy. Everyday I must pay attention to where I put my attention.The material world is seductive & I, like most of us, can be "lulled to sleep" by distractions. My intention is to strengthen my relationships where all people, animals, birds fish & plants flourish.If I'm asked what do you do?.. I attempt with: I try to build relationships & work together to create a 'social ecology' where everyone can have a flourishing future. for me this is the way forward for my children, my children's children and for 7 generations coming. We must collaborate to work together on difficult problems that we wish to transform.“The crisis of our time isn’t just a crisis of a single leader, organisation, country, or conflict. The crisis of our time reveals the dying of an old social structure and way of thinking, an old way of institutionalising and enacting collective social forms.Most cross-institutional change processes fail because they miss the starting point: co-sensing across boundaries. We need infrastructures to facilitate this process on a sustained level across systems. Because this understanding doesn't yet exist we create results that nobody wants. Interest groups go participate to maximise their special interests against the whole, instead of engaging practitioners in the larger system in a process of sensing and innovating together." C.
