From intention to impactful, sustainable action there are many steps to be taken and many aspects to be considered:How can we engage our creativity and the depth of our thoughts in the solutions we create? How can we be present and aware in the context of this world, to be able to sense the needed change and act upon it?

Arawana Hayashi invites us to explore our natural creativity as she will guide us through a gentle, non-judgmental process of awareness of own physicality and environment. In the context of personal and collective capacity building, she will lead us to explore the kind of attention needed for affecting change.

Building on Otto Scharmer’s Theory U, she will guide us through phases of sensing, presencing and realizing. Enabling us to embody a sense of authentic presence and confidence, and engage our creativity into the process of working with the challenges and opportunities around us.

emerging sense is a community of people connected in a continuous chain of value creators, based upon shared values and nurtured by regular interaction. It is for these individuals with sincere intention and genuine ambition, that we will host monthly gatherings, create a common virtual space and enable the open exchange of ideas, perspectives and reflections.

emerging sense is private, yet it’s public. It will start as invitation-only, but in case of interest in joining still offers the chance to participate as guest and eventually member of the community upon contact with emersense (email to info@emersense.org).
