To our blessed Mothers for bringing each of us into this life - Happy Mother’s Day My Mom taught me respect, and generosity.Mine is alive and living in Ottawa, Canada. I’m thankful to technology that facilitates our regular chats… even when we don’t see things the same way, that’s ok. Where does your Mother live? What did she teach you?

This message is from Rukmini who attended the Caux Forum Dear all, some of you here joined the conversation on decolonisation yesterday. Thank you! I have attempted to capture our thoughts and also added some more in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13GsSpR3EFRNSvKW42rRtFl0o3v-TfFRww0WGeZcvGTA/edit?usp=sharing At the moment it is a sort of a concept note. If the IDG Foundation is interested, we might be able to continue working on it as a collaborative working paper, perhaps. This group was created because several of you expressed the need to continue this conversation. We could also collectively figure where we want to take this ahead. Cheers, Rukmini

Share in the comments how you're celebrating Earth today! I'll go down to 'my' forest and river again and practice walking bare feet 😍

Hello Community ! 👋🕊 We recorded a quick video to walk you through what's on this week — three events in the first week of May. TOMORROW Tuesday, May 5th at 12:30 CET — Sarah hosts the IDG Skill Builder on Interconnectedness & Creativity. We're doing something a little different this time: drawing an Ubuntu tree together and seeing what conversations that opens up. Wednesday May 6th— Nadene hosts a session with Mike Rowlands (he's Canadian 🍁). Details were shared in the previous video. For this one please register by clicking on the Zoom link. Thursday, May 7th, 1pm CET — Nadene's Sales Incubator session, this time on facilitating inner development session with clients — what an introduction could look like, how to make it interactive. This one is recorded and is part of the Premium plan. If you'd like to join, you can upgrade at [innerdevelopmentatwork.com/plans]. We know May is busy — and full of public holidays here in Europe. But we'll be here, and we'd love to see you in whatever session fits your timezone. If you can't make it live, drop a note in the chat. It's always good to know you're there. 💛 Sarah & Nadene

A freshly published paper by Peter Senge and Vanessa Andreotti, et al. https://zenodo.org/records/19958825 Everything Is Nature: Meta-Relationality, Nervous Systems, Systems Thinking, and AI Vanessa Machado de Oliveira and Peter M. Senge This is the first foundational paper of a five-paper series for the Meta-Rationality and Artificial Intelligence Research Project at the University of Victoria. It establishes the ontological ground the rest of the series builds on: that artificial intelligence systems are part of nature rather than outside it, and that what AI is changing in humans must be asked through the same relational frame as what is changing in the rest of the living world. This essay traces an encounter between systems thinking and meta-relationality, asking what artificial intelligence reveals about nervous systems, modernity, and the ontological habits shaping relation in a time of planetary unraveling. Illuminating!
