Welcome!
I’m glad you’re here.
We have
important
work to do.
What if we actually aimed for thriving?
Too often, we accept busyness and productivity as their own reward. Or we’re afraid to be bold, so we aim for something less than thriving.
As a result, we’re falling dangerously short of thriving in our communities, in our organizations and in our own lives.
So, what if we recognized the characteristics of thriving living systems in our organizations and communities?
And what if that were somehow simple and useful, opening up new insights and suggesting new ways forward?
What if our most powerful role is to act as stewards of life’s processes, actively cultivating the fertile conditions for life to thrive?
And what if this helped us achieve all of our other objectives more effectively?
This is the most important work of our times.
This is the practice of thrivability.
Here’s how I can help.
Whether you’re an organizational leader, a community planner or just someone looking for answers, here are some ways I can help.

"In every realm of our lives, we're faced with a choice: continue down the conventional path of alienation from life, despite that pathway’s inevitable devastation; or forge a new path of greater alignment with life, with all its promise and potential."

This is the voice of the mechanistic worldview. It sees no alternative to its destructive ways. “Despite what a lot of activists say, it is entirely legitimate to invest in oil & gas because the world demands it... We have no choice” but to continue to invest.

I wrote this 2 years ago - and looked back at it now to remind myself that there may, indeed, be a silver lining to these dark days. I confess the silver seems more dull and tarnished as I look at it today... but it's still there.
