Description:
From the About page on the Emerge website:
Emerge is an independent, non-profit media platform highlighting the initiatives, individuals and ways of thinking that are sowing the seeds of a new civilisation.
We are exploring how to act wisely in a world that seems out of control. We aim to explore the emerging cultural narratives of our time by collecting useful content from across the web, profiling change-makers and thinkers, publishing thought-provoking commentary and producing original videos and podcasts.
Emerge is a hub for people and initiatives searching for solutions to pressing global challenges, asking the question: What new patterns of living, working and existing together are currently emerging?
We are a network and a movement that celebrates people and projects. Our purpose is constantly emerging and taking shape. We offer an invitation to each of us to discover our role in this new story.
Emerge began as a three-day Gathering in Berlin in November 2018 initiated by three non-profit organisations: Perspectiva, London; co-creation.loft, Berlin and Ekskäret Foundation, Stockholm. The gathering brought together pioneers in complexity science, philosophy, spirituality, psychology, sustainability, creativity, and wisdom to explore dynamic solutions to our planet’s greatest challenges and discover new pathways of working, living and creating together.
In 2019, we held the second Emerge Gathering in Kyiv, Ukraine.

One of my favorite @MonasticAcademy offerings is the Anti-Fragile Heart retreat. It’s a week long transformational buffet featuring trainings in things like IFS, Core Transformation, values work, clowning, contact improv, circling, and much more.

I love how we oscillate between learning skills and being thrown into the relational practice of circling. Get triggered in circling -> Work through it in a workshop -> Return to circling from a new perspective -> Repeat. Participants usually experience huge shifts from this.

@TranscendCEO @jonnym1ller IMO that’s one of the few hills worth dying on. Also the whole of his career is a testament to that statement. I don’t read it as grumpy, I read it as impassioned.

@TranscendCEO @jonnym1ller You might disagree with his argument but claiming he fails to engage it in earnestness seems foolish. For instance amazon.com/Hundred-Years-… Often when I hear this it means ‘engage it thru the lens of the system being critiqued ’. Which is a different (and important) project.
