Where is the change? How do we think about it; talk about it; take part in it? Is there such a thing as systems change anymore? Or are we kidding ourselves with abstract formulas that cannot possibly keep up with the changes happening all around us?  \n\n\n\nRight now, everyone is trying to figure out how to live in a worldwide pandemic. We have been in pandemics before, but never in such a  radically interconnected world—with high-speed air travel and even faster electronic communication, rampant environmental pollution, nuclear weapons, and emerging autocracies, among other complicating factors. What have we learned? Do we know how to deal with uncertainty in a productive way? Or are we on a downward spiral due to humankind’s inability to create balance among other humans and the more-than-human world?\n\n\n\nWe all want to rebuild a more coherent and beautiful world. But we cannot move too fast. We must first learn to dance with trickster energies. It may be preemptive to propose replacement forms of order in the midst of such chaos – instead, we might need to learn a new language, a new mode of being in the world that is more creative and flexible. What stance and mindset will help us adapt to the rapid and radical changes of the present?  \n\n\n\nWith our systems unraveling, this is our opportunity to go beyond symptoms to root causes that unite seemingly different events. What are the openings that Trickster is making known to us? What are the resources, stories, lessons, opportunities, and wisdom we can draw from uncertain times?  Join us as we delve into Dancing with Uncertainty. \n\n\n\nGuest Bios\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlfonso Montuori has been a long-time professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies.
