Theory of Change
The root cause of unhealthy cultural patterns is separation from self, others, and nature. Therefore, we need to cultivate healthier relationships (to self, others, and nature).
Systems transformation is about addressing the root causes of separation (from self, others, and nature), which keep us locked into re-enacting unhealthy patterns. We cultivate regenerative, holistic and equitable ways of relating in order to create systemic transformation. ‘Approach’, https://www.indigenousandmodern.com/approach/
- “We develop disruptive projects to shift extractive paradigms towards regenerative systems”
- “Our trans-disciplinary methodology combines [[indigenous]] knowledge, [[presencing]] practices, and [[nature]]-inspired innovation with modern [[systems thinking]], network leadership, [[neuroscience]] and [[eco-psychology]].”
