+- on [[2022-05-22]]
+	- for [[capra course]]
+	- about [[32]] people attending
+	- begins with a [[moment of grounding]], 2x [[bell]] (nice) by [[della duncan]]
+	- [[fritjof capra]] says:
+		- glad to see people face to face, usually enjoy the closing circles tremendously, looking forward to hearing from you
+		- taking an opportunity to reflect on the difficult times we're living in, and the transition we're living through.
+		- in the last 40 years I have seen technological revolution, backlash -- the turn of the chaotic pendulum
+		- [[war in ukraine]] seems to be a regression to the status quo around the 50s-60s
+			- grew up tens of miles away from the [[iron curtain]] in [[austria]]
+				- the two blocs were in [[competition]]
+			- [[bloc thinking]] is making a comeback:
+				- [[putin]], who seemingly wants to rebuild the russian empire as it was pre 1989
+				- [[nato]], an alliance from [[cold war]] times
+				- both blocs are incompatible with the massively interconnected world we live in today
+				- our major problems are [[global]] and [[systemic]]
+				- we need [[cooperation]], [[negotiation]] and [[compromise]] to solve them, not [[competition]] or [[war]]
+				- the outlines of the necessary [[compromise]] in this conflict seem clear:
+					- [[putin]] will not get to rebuild imperial russia
+					- [[ukraine]] will not get to join [[nato]], but rather remain neutral
+			- when dealing with a bully, increasing military tension does not seem a wise path to follow
+			- [[cuban missile crisis]] [[1962]] was resolved by [[diplomacy]] and with a compromise
+				- [[usa]] withdrew missiles from [[turkey]]
+				- [[russia]] withdrew missiles from [[cuba]]
+			- hopefully [[diplomacy]] and [[compromise]] will outweigh the [[mechanistic]] bloc thinking from the past
+	- [[silvia]] says:
+		- I will be the [[alumni network]] coordinator
+		- you don't have to do anything on your side, same login will work for this network
+		- [[alumni gatherings]] 4x a year
+			- on equinoxes and solstices :)
+			- Tues June 21st, 9am - 10:15am PDT, June Solstice Gathering
+		- [[1k members]] organized in currently [[55 groups]]
+		- reach out if you want a [[certificate]]
+	- [[della duncan]] on to [[breakout rooms]]
+		- "how are you integrating the knowledge from the course"?
+		- with [[paul higgings]] and [[dario pulcini]]
+			- [[communities of practice]]
+			- [[feedback loop]]
+				- terminology that is trans-disciplinary has wide appeal
+			- let's send links to each other?
+				- [[paul]] https://ltcwrk.com/introduction/
+		- [[della]]: another alum doing great work with visualizing systems thinking - https://www.lindaboothsweeney.net
+	- [[sharing]]
+		- [[mandy van goeije]]
+			- [[illustrator]]
+		- [[arnd wächter]]
+			- very similar themes in the breakout room
+			- how do we engage with each other in a nurturing way? how do we change mindsets?
+			- [[feminist morality]]
+			- Q: how do we change culture?
+				- from the systems point of view, culture is an emergent phenomenon in a network of communications. as communication continues, there are feedback loops, and a system of values and behaviour emerges
+				- there is a difference between a [[social system]] and a [[community]]: when the earlier develops a culture, it becomes the latter.
+		- [[paul higgins]]
+			- how to distill systems thinking for educators?
+				- [[fritjof]]: strategy has been to promote the [[capra course]] among educators
+				- [[gaia education]] [[work that reconnects]] (sp?) are associated communities
+				- [[della duncan]]: [[The Systems Thinking Playbook]]: Exercises to Stretch and Build Learning and Systems Thinking Capabilities"
+				- [[silvia]]
+			- the impact of network composition: how to combine communities, intensify connections between communities?
+		- [[lisa satteil]] how would you describe our community?
+			- [[fritjof]] I'd describe it as a [[learning community]]. It seems like the simplest and most powerful way to enact [[transformative learning]], learning which changes our worldview.
+				- When we learn in a [[community]], you discuss concept relationships while you experience human relationships; this has a powerful emotional component.
+		- [[rito]] the issue of perception and the [[mechanistic mindset]]
+			- work/life balance and interconnection
+			- [[be like water]]
+		- [[thomas pennington]]
+			- "think globally, act locally" makes sense -- but now we can "act globally" and that is a beautiful thing
+		- [[pankaj]]
+			- had a great experience applying systems level thinking
+		- [[meriel]]
+			- on how to deal with the institutions we interact with (e.g. work with) as we grapple with value alignment
+			- “Think globally, act accordingly" - [[Terry Tempest Williams]]
+		- [[jeanette]]
+			- reach out if you're interested in discussing
+		- [[ani ahavah]]
+			- reads out a nice poem, [[a systems point of view]]
+	- [[silvia]]
