Phenomenal Conversation #20 Integrative Worldviews and Regenerative Culture
(Exploring Worldviews towards a Regenerative Culture)
If you have been engaged in systems change for any length of time, you may often have come across deep seated resistance to meaningful sustainable or generative change. Whether this is in individuals organisations, institutions, government or corporate entities, this is sadly very common across the board. When this immunity to change is analysed, often what is discerned as the root cause of this phenomena, is referred to as culture, or mindset, paradigms or worldviews.
In response to this core discernment, in relation to her work in the fields of climate change/sustainability space. Annick de Witt has spent the larger part of her life researching and excavating the mental models that form and inform worldviews. Worldviews are the ‘big stories’ through which humans make sense of, and give shape to, their experience and world. Through multiple models, innumerable iterations and fearless experimentation she and her co-researchers, have discovered many common themes, patterns, values and structures of thinking, that constitute four contemporary worldviews.
Through Utrecht University she offers students and more recently teachers, learning journeys, to become more conscious of the thinking that informs their view of the world. Her faculty and her organisation, offers transformative learning journeys that examine worldviews, invite mind-shifts, and support people to evolve their ways of thinking, relating, and acting. These journeys are designed to be science-based; fun, deep, and interactive; and usable across contexts, both online and on site.
This evening we will explore some the key concepts ideas and framing Annick's approach to worldviews. Plus how an integrative worldview has the health and wellbeing of nature as it's foundation. Asking what implications this has for seeding or growing regenerative cultures? Plus we will use Annick's innovative stream of consciousness dialogue methodology to explore the multi-layered dimensions of this approach.
So join Annick de Witt and I (Dave Pendle) in a Phenomenal Conversation to connect head, heart and soul in a format that is, part interview, small group dialogue and large group harvest on Tuesday 25 June online from 19.00-21.00 CEST

Approach The concept is to provide a starkly positive contrast, with mainstream conference presentations, panel discussions and general public dialogue. Phenomenal conversations will shift the emphasis away from the expertise, knowledge and personality of the presenter/co-presenters, into a shared exploration of a phenomenal question. Co-presenter interactions will exemplify the nourishing and exciting energy that arises out of living the questions together.
ABOUT PHENOMENAL CONVERSATIONS Purpose of Phenomenal Conversations/Dialogues The purpose of Phenomenal Conversations is to stimulate, activate and inspire non-ordinary public exchanges that free heart, mind and soul from the burdens and concerns of a world in crisis. The dialogues will explore a topical issue, while investigating , core questions that are both critical and timely to the co-presenter's research or prime interests. The dialogues and conversations will exemplify a shared non-ordinary exploration together, that is lively, imminent and transmits energies of possibility. With the aim of nourishing the collective heart, mind and soul through lively engagement and exchange.
Format Each dialogue will begin with the co-presenters engaging in a disciplined sharp accurate and in depth conversation for a concentrated period of 20-30 minutes or so, co-exploring the agreed topic or question. Folowing this they will pose an open question for the gathered group to explore in a structured format. Through a participation, reflection and interaction, the deeper wisdom of the group will be brought to light, to create a shared experience of heightened togetherness and awakened possibility together.
Post Event Events are crafted to refresh uplift inspire participants through a grounded integration of head and heart and enable them to walk and act with the possibility of the more beautiful world in mind.
