Spaces for Growth : learning our way out of a crisis

We live in powerful times. A rolling crisis that is both real (there are consequences), conceptual (horribly complex to grasp in its multiple dimensions)

and existential (shaking the inner foundations of our worlds).

These emergencies are not distinct: they are all connected and now hunt in packs. But it is the existential emergency, the human consequences of living in powerful times, that now dominates the scene. That is the subject of this booklet. For it is in the boundless potential of the human system, the ways in which we choose to live our lives in patterns of relationship with other lives, that our hopes for recovery and renewal ultimately lie.

'Spaces for Growth' is both a manual and a rallying call. It explores the settings and the environments we need to discover and to create, as hosts and guides, to enable individuals, groups, organisations, communities, institutions, human beings in all formations to expand, to develop and to grow. In this way we will, together, rise to the occasion.
