Where do you find yourself in this moment of systems transition? Are you pioneering the new? Hospicing the old? Supporting the in-between? Systems change happens in an uneasy space—between what’s fading and what’s yet to fully emerge. While we see glimpses of a regenerative future, extractive systems still dominate. So, how do we navigate this transition? 👉 Enter the Berkana Two Loops Model Developed by The Berkana Institute, Margaret Wheatley and Deborah Frieze, in the '90s this model maps out how systems change. As one system declines, another slowly emerges—not through sudden transformation, but through intentional transition. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: the old system doesn’t go quietly. So, who drives the transition? 🚀 Pioneers emerge first, those brave enough to experiment with new ways of thinking and doing. Without connection and support, those pioneering voices can easily be drowned out by the dominant system. THIS is why community matters. Pioneers need networks—to share, to connect, to recognise they’re not alone. 🤲🏽 Protectors, meanwhile, are those working within the current system—they nurture the new ideas, they carve out space for them to grow. But it's not only about innovation. Some fulfil the role of hospice workers for the old system—gently guiding it to a close while composting what’s worth keeping. 🌱 It’s about holding onto the best of the old, while gracefully letting the rest go. Where do you find yourself in this moment of transition? What would your role be within the Berkhana Two Loops Model? Let us know in the comments! 🌍✨ Thank you commonland for the reminder!

Hi Everyone, Nadene and I have been letting our brains bubble around a big question lately: How are we translating inner development into meaningful organizational impact, and what can we learn from one another’s experiences? To do that, we are wanting to co-design a brand-new offering: Organizational Impact Calls. Twice each month, members will open the doors to their organizational practice, sharing real-world experiments, challenges, and successes in applying inner development. Together, we will explore what works, what doesn't, and how we can create greater impact through collective learning. Join the Co-Design Calls: June 9th & 23rd Because this is a space built by practitioners for practitioners, we want to design the details with you. We are hosting two initial community calls to discuss, see who's interested and what your needs are: - Tuesday, June 9th at 12:30 CET - Tuesday, June 23rd at 12:30 CET Note: Both sessions will be recorded if you can't make it live, but we’d love your presence and insights in the room. Let's see what we can create together. Warmly, Sarah & Nadene
