Open Lens Book Club
The Open Lens Book Club is an opportunity for folks holding space for learning and growth to connect through books relevant to our practice.
The book club will be a co-created space, so we will collectively decide what will best serve us. In that spirit, the space will be co-led by the group and not facilitated by an expert in the book. Therefore, be ready to bring questions and reflections to each meeting to share responsibility for the space.
This is a free offering for our global community.
EMERGENT STRATEGY
Shaping Change, Changing Worlds
For our first book, we picked “Emergent Strategy – Shaping Change, Changing Worlds” by adrienne maree brown. We are curious how the book can contribute to holding spaces for transformational change.
The book explores the concept of emergence and its application to personal, social, and systemic change. It explores various themes, including resilience, fractal patterns, interdependence, and decentralized organizing. “Emergent Strategy” is not only a theoretical exploration but also provides practical tools and exercises for readers to engage with the concepts and apply them to their own lives and work.
