evolution
Time- in
• My little son Senna told me we need to let go the concept of time out and use time in = time to give a big hugg and smile and feeling comfortable and safe
Human biospheric sphere
• New identity• Wij leren van onze
kinderen, learn for our children
• Deze generatie begrijpt beter wat sociaal zijn betekent dan wij
• Kinderen troosten en warmte geven is basisbehoefte altijd
Expressing authentic self
• Listening beyond words• Sensing with the whole
being• Expression of human
being• An envolving humanity• An integration of full
human capacities
• Systems being = systems livings
• The journey = the transformative learning process of expansion of consciousness
• From awareness to embodiment
Systems being
• Living a new consciousness
• Meta-reflections• Instant communications
• To live lightly, joyfully, peacefully and meaningfull
• This is an inside job• Systainability is a
learning journey• Empathy and love• Human family• relationships
Systems being
• Syntony quest• www.syntonyquest.org• Humanity = one• Nourished• Sustained• Before we can change
the way we live• We need to change
ourselves
• Process of recovering• By living a new
consciousness• Meta reflections• Instant communications• Organisational
transformation and social change
Connection from head,heart, hands?
• Move from teaching systems to creating the conditions for experiencing and living systems
• Creating a mood • Generative• Strategic• The connections through
life are the experiences and reflections, this involves a life long learning
• Commitment to integrate cognition and emotion
Systems feeling
• Connecting to our emotions and will
• Being able to make the emotional connection
• Seeing has an emotional connection
• Translating ideas into action
• 2 types of systems thinkers
• 1. those who cognitivly understand and talk the systems talk
• 2. those who appreciate and can feel what it means to embrace a systems view
System feeling
• Face the challenge to bridge the gap between our technological intelligence , social cultural and ethical intelligence to use technologies for the greates good
• A call for participation innovating a future of peace
• Abundance partnership
• Translating ideas into action
How to practice conversation?
• Move• To a living and
experiencing system
• Feel our physical space• Our tone of voice• Facial and body
expression
• Be fully present in a conversation
• Be fully present in a conversation
• Be fully present in a conversation
• Be fully present in a conversation
Systems thinking into systems feeling
• A big moving picture• Ethical perspective• To create knowledge• Understandig • integrating
• Bridges to approaches by using both analysis & synthesis
• Combining synthesis & analysis
• From cognitive perspective
• Patterns of change• Why, what question?
Systems thinking a new way of seeing
• A cell• An organism• A society or a galaxy• A gate opening up• A system = a set of
interconnected elements that form a whole, show properties
• From the Greek:” synhistanai”
• = to place together• Opportunities for
exploring• Thinking in terms rather
than structures of processes of relationships of interconnections
Reflecting on my journey of learning
• How to become fully me
• A dynamic flow• Interactions• Archetypes• Theories• Not enough to sufficient• Critical rational path
methods and useful tools
• Systems thinking into systems feeling:
• The beginning – transformative process
• Leading to: expansion of consciousness
• New ways of learning & the emergence
Systems thinking into systems feeling
• All our relations• Playfully engaged in a
life long creativity• Remembering how to
be curious enquire reconnection

Embodyment of evolutionary leadership
• Heraclitus• “everything flows”• Proces orientation
embraced by system thinking
• Abundance mental model
• Higer purpose• Ecologiess of innovation
• Systems feelings• Evolutionary leadership• Systems being• Systems thinking• A systems paradigm as
coherent framework of thought
• 1975 Laszlo came to existence
Keywords evolutionary leadership
• Aware of potential to develop a general theory or organized complexity
• Pioneered by organismic biologist
• Enriched by gestalt psychologist
• Ecologist• Capra, 1996 one hand
• The other hand: Scientists 1920” developments in other: engineering< information< theory< management< cybernetics
• Recognition as a relevant useful way of understanding and acting in the world
• Biological technical origins
From systems thinking into systems being:
• The evolution of our way to seeing and living in the world
International Society of Systems Science ( ISSS)
• EVOLUTION OF OUR WAY TO SEEING AND LIVING IN THE WORLD
• 1920, SCIENTISTS• 1975 ( LASZLO)• GENERAL THEORY OF
ORGANIZED COMPLEXITY
• 1937: Introduction • Ludwig von Bertalanffy,
emerging systems idea • ( GTS)• GENERAL SYSTEMS THEORY:
HAMMOND 1997:2• 1954: together with Ralph
Gerard and Anatol Rapoport, James Miller, Kenneth Boulding established the Society for the Advancement of general system theory.
How can we connect?
• Everything is possible• How can we connect?• We are to fragmented
so we need to enter it through music, dance to a spirit~
• We get signals and perceptions and we are having a evolution
• We can change the direction
• It is about the deeper brothers we are oneness
• Connections are real• Through music, writing,
dancing, meditating we reach the field
The idea
• Everyone follows• Everyone leads is
powerful• Reflections of the
nature• For the good of the
whole
• Evolutionary leadership is an ever changing flux of interconnections that seek to intentionally create the conditions for the emergence of a better future~ quote of Peter Merry of the Wisdom University
Evolutionary leadership
• The embodiment of systems being
• Creating new realities• Learning how to shape
the future• Creating a domain to
deepen understanding of reality and participating
• No longer victims of circumstances but: participating in creating new circumstances
multilevelness
• Dabrowski • Systems theory• Ontwikkelingsnivo,s• Emotionele
ontwikkeling• Ego centrisme naar
altruisme naar proces van uiteenvallen
• Gaat samen met een innerlijk conflict, dat is normaal = gezond proces
• Positive desintegration
Syntony conversation• Coming together~ turning
together~suspension~ internal listening accepting difference mutual trust building~ dialogue~building common grond~confronting each others assumptions, reveal feeling~
• Metalogue~thinking and feeling as a group~ building shared assumptions culture~
• 4 practices of syntony• No discussions or
advocacy = competitions & conviction- no dialetic = examing opposites~no debate = resolving by logic= beating down
Concept of Syntony:
• Listening to the rhythm of change learning how to play our own melody in ways that harmonize with the larger piece = zingeving wie/wat is er nog meer?
• It is possible to elicit harmoneous patterns of change in ourselves, in others, in our broader environment
• Purposefully and consciously & intentionally
Tune into useful frequencies• We can learn to find and
create resonant processes with the dynamics of those things we interact.
• In its highest form, syntony becomes a natural way of being and becoming with the world and is effortless, spontaneous, as breathing
• We can re-learn of them how to live as a system of syntony. Our mission, our identity and who I am?
• It is the ability to read the environment, to listen to messages, to pay attention with hightened sensitivity, this confered evolutionary advantage on creatures whose survival needs were based on inter connection and inter dependence
Action:• Changing course• Orientating yourself• Navigating through chaos• Re orienting to
sustainability patterns of change
• Re-aligning with sustainable processes of transformation are challenges!
• Strong sense of syntony• Ability to engage in
complex learning• Through effort and
practice we can learn to navigate in any of 3 ways :
• 1.computer, navigational technologies
• A you are here technology, simple and easy to use
