We are living in complex and fast changing times. We are faced with massive, institutional system failure and personal disillusionment. We collectively create results that nobody wants: financial and economic collapse, poor healthcare, climate change and increasing poverty, rising numbers of people committing suicide and suffering chronic depression, among others. Many of our current political, economic and educational institutions are broken. We need to learn new ways of bringing about the change we need in our lives and in our communities. In this presentation, I will share with you my experience of applying the tools of presencing to my personal and professional life.
