Are we asking the right question?
What would Planetary Awakening 2.0 look like? Could it be that we are asking the wrong question? Could it be that the planet is already awake? All paths to awakening, inevitably reach a point where there is nothing to be “done”. And the realization that there was no “path” per se; that everything was and […]
Exploring True Prosperity
The dominant concept of prosperity is based on the illusion of separation, causing us to strive for our personal wellbeing through the accumulation of material wealth, usually to the detriment of our fellow humans and non-humans. Vivian has developed an alternative model of prosperity, which focuses on our true needs and is based on connection […]
The topography of Work: an integral experiment
The meta-crisis we are going through casts an enormous shadow and uncertainty over the meaning and configuration of Work. And this theme is fundamental since it is one of the main elements connecting the micro-world of individuals with the macro-world of organizations and politics.

Social Permaculture: Integral Tools for Awakening
Permaculture is commonly known as integrated gardening/farming, as it has traditionally focused on “Earth Care.” Despite that focus on the “exterior,” permaculture was always meant to be a whole systems approach to sustainable living. In recent years “Social Permaculture” has been emerging, building on the social changes initiated in the 60s, and going beyond the […]
Breakthroughs and Blindspots of Big Tech in Teal
Many “Big Tech” corporations attract engineers by prioritizing their employees’ well-being as well as productivity. Some have even adopted Teal cultures (LL) and practices (LR) for human-centered collaboration at scale. For example, groups that value psychological safety uncover more – and more diverse – perspectives when brainstorming and problem-solving. Google’s engineering organization is arguably the […]
4 Quadrants of Dragon Dreaming and Medicine Wheel
The Dragon Dreaming mandala holds enduring wisdom from the Purple era of the Australian Aborigines. Walking the mandala’s four quadrants can help us to see and meet ourselves and each other.
