Unique Learning Event at Murdoch University in February 2019

 We are hosting a conference around Gregory Bateson’s thinking with his daughter Nora Bateson as a key note speaker. Here are the first two paragraphs . . . 

Taking a systems approach to mutual learning in everyday life

My teaching—and my challenge—is to develop capacity for a systemic approach to mutual learning in everyday life—from family, to groups, to organisations and society. Combining theory, art, storytelling, poetry and emerging practice, I will guide us to approach differently the seemingly intractable problems we face personally and as a society. Our journey will explore the art and science of complexity and ambiguity, expanding our capacity to work with and be within these states. By exploring symmathesy, we discover how a shift in perception can alter and ease our relationship with life’s complexity.

"‘Symmathesy’ is a term I created to express the mutual learning that occurs within and between living systems. This word derives from the Greek prefix sym (together) and mathesi (to learn). Symmathesy is not about finding 5-step solutions: it is about deepening, expanding and exploring the sensitivity with which we interpret and interact with our complex world. Be sure, this is not a tweaking of thinking and approach, but a profound shift—away from destruction and despair and towards creativity and possibility. . .
