Work overview

I am deeply curious about how ecologicalness arranges matter and life forms. The more I study the stories within metaphysics, chemistry, biology, physics, ecology, social sciences, myth, and philosophy, the more I find that all things seem to exist in, and because of, a state of ecologicalness.

From simply arranged molecular substances to biologically complex life forms, all things seem to be entangled in relationship with something else (often, many other somethings.) That is, everything seems to be ecological. What makes us human creatures so interesting is that we are not only ecological as an innate state of being but we have the capacity to be ecological as a way of being.

My fascination in ecologicalness has birthed two entangled pieces of work. Both are shared freely as creative commons and have extensive online guidebooks for anyone drawn to them.

Ecological Enquiry is one pathway into exploring the relational nature of existence, knowledge, complexity, and reality, as well as the cosmologies and stories that we embody and world through.

Ecological Organisations: A Design Lens is one pathway into exploring organisations as living systems navigating immense relational complexity, as well as the cosmologies and stories that an organisation embodies and worlds through.

I describe myself as a facilitating guide, writer, and activator, since the majority of my work is communicating about this work and guiding others to find a personal and collective relationship with ecological enquiry and/or the design lens.

Past clients and collaborators have described me as an enabler, mentor, facilitator, coordinator, regnerative engine, and guide and navigator.
