welcome to the studio of the extraordinary

under construction!


I believe in collective alchemy ~ the process of transforming lead into gold. What seems ordinary is the extraordinary. We don’t need to go far. We have the capacity to access - or remember this - in our inner lives, our work, cities, and the issues about which we care deeply. The studio of the extraordinary works with the generative cycles of life-death-rebirth in any system to deepen or shift its culture into new alignment with life. Together, we pay attention to these cycles as the transformative fuel of individual and collective evolution.

Living Systems

living wholeness Practice

 

The Living Wholeness practice or pattern helps us access a larger and deeper field of intelligence and new capacities within and around us. We believe the long-term purpose of systemic transformation is to evolve a new culture, or new cultures, whose values, beliefs, behaviors, assumptions and meaning-making are aligned with Life. By working with the individual and collective, the visible and invisible, and the known and unknown, the Living Wholeness pattern has the capability to accelerate our intentional evolution.

Living Wholeness offers a framework in integrating ‘living systems’ beyond theory and concept and into living practice. It is a framework for being systemic at every level, with ourselves, in our work and communities, and especially in relationship to all of life. It offers us a means to experience 'being systemic' by widening the scope of what we mean by “systems” and framing our work not as "fixing" systems external to us, but finding new alignment with our inner and outer worlds. We can then translate what we become to our work, communities, families, homes, government, social innovations, businesses and new initiatives that can shift systems.
