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?

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.

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.

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 […]
