description
Mindful Systems Inquiry is a process designed to help a group gain clarity, explore a complex system, and inquire into what’s going on and what may emerge. Mindfulness clears the mind, deepens concentration, and evokes presence. Presence brings bodies, minds, and hearts into the moment with wisdom. Systems simulation gives a direct experience of the whole system. System interrelationships become clear. Different actions and voices ripple and resonate through the system. Inquiry involves how we talk and learn together. We develop relationships and create our world through conversation. New insights and understandings about the system and its interrelationships arise.
