“Effective change makers on this path take the role of weavers between disciplines, sectors, worldviews, value systems, and stakeholders.
As Donella Meadows so insightfully observed ‘the most effective leverage point for systemic change is to move beyond paradigms.’
A truly holistic and integral perspective transcends and includes reductionism and analytical reasoning and values them for their contribution to a more multi-facetted mode of participating in complexity and facing uncertainty.
The role of the weaver is to help facilitate a process by which disparate fields of knowledge, disparate sectors of society, disparate strands of the human endeavour can come together in the co-creation of a higher-level synthesis.
Such a synthesis would overcome the story of separation and adequately value all our diversity within the underlying context of a new story: our fundamental interbeing with all life and interdependence with healthy ecosystems and a healthy biosphere.”
