Enlivening Value Flows

We are oscillating between despair and joyous inspiration when we think about the state of the world, on one hand, and anticipate what it can become when the multitudes of regenerative initiatives and movements connect and start learning from each other, the other hand. 

We all know the problems: we’re drowning in bad news, from the climate crisis, viruses, galloping inequalities, and humankind’s intertwining crises heaping on top of each other. We also know that we get more enlivened when we turn towards each other.  
 

"The larger social structures are proving to be inadequate to solve the problems they're creating. New social innovations are emerging everywhere, but they are not sufficiently connected or empowered. So right now, any effort that we can make to connect and create greater synergy and participation in this awakening process is probably the most important thing we can do." – Barbara Marx Hubbard

How can we do that at scale? We don't know. That's why we want to Enliven Large-Scale Emergence using the methodology of Generative Action Research (GAR).

If you want to find out about the conceptual underpinnings of this form of collaborative, participatory action research, read the Towards an Enlivenment Theory of Change essay.
