What makes you want to join LCE?

I’m excited for the synergies and potentials in LCE and the people I see are founding this andinvolved.

How you might contribute to our mission (making 8 billion people, 10.000 cities and our one blue planet fully alive)?

My core competencies are around action research and quantum social change. I mean this broadly recognising that weco-create, scaffold each other to hold opening spaces and places in which we are more likely to find emergent action. Emergent in that we generate outcomes for beauty/flourishing, insight and connection beyond the sum of our individualparts.

In practical terms this is usually done by participating in spaces such as (be) Benevolution, Pacific Integral, the ActionResearch Journal, UN IPBES Transformative change assessment, writing, Emergent commons and a range of otherinitiatives revolving around connecting inner development (e.g. Inner Development Goals) with our outer experiences tomeet meta-crises.
