Last night we hosted the opening session of the Systems Leadership Intensive, the shorter cousin of our Mastery of Systems Leadership.

Early on we asked the room two questions: what do you think of when you think of systems, and what systems are you most connected to? Above is just the first to be spoken. Systems are everywhere, and once you start seeing them, you can’t stop.

“Any story of transformation, both personal and collective, is born from the crucible of crisis, inviting us to imagine how we might reorient ourselves in an uncharted time.”
– Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee

This September, Emergence founder, filmmaker, author, and Sufi teacher Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee will join Tamsin Jones for a conversation exploring how story can be a vessel for establishing a spiritual ecology grounded in interconnectedness, kinship, reciprocity, compassion, and reverence for the more-than-human world.

This special evening event will draw from Emmanuel’s new book Remembering Earth and Emergence Magazine work to examine storytelling as an integral part of reweaving the connections between ecology, culture, and spirituality.

When: 23 September, 6pm-7:30pm
Where: The White House, 11 Princes Street, St Kilda

It’s a community that holds together when pressure hits. An economy that can flex instead of break. Ecosystems with roots to recover.

Into the Arena is our ten-week climate leadership program, built for leaders working across all of it. Two days together at a retreat in Melbourne, then ten weeks online building the skills to lead through complexity.

Applications open now. Image Mark Beaufoy

Stills of our picks for MIFF - starting strong with Cannes Uncertain Regard Jury Prize winner - Elephants in the Fog - a thriller set among a Nepalese third-gender community sees one matriarch choosing between duty and love.

Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the world - A loving look at her one wild and precious life - I bought mum and I tickets immediately.

Trusted film friend recommended this freewheeling family saga, bouncing between a wedding in France and funeral in Guinea-Bissau.

The History of Concrete - I’ve long loved John Wilson’s filmmaker steez. To see his imagination pour out to a feature length documentary thrills me. Premiered at Sundance and now in our backyard. Big laughs apparently.
