For July, August, and September 2026, SCEU members get access to the Unstuck Club offerings for FREE. These are opportunities to get "unstuck" to thrive in any and all areas of our lives.

On July 28th, Jess Licata will lead us through a breathwork session. Her is her description of her work:

YOU. are the medicine.

I aim to always work with the human truly ready to embody their own power, healing + movement. I work with high stress, high functioning humans to help guide them to be able to bring themselves back down to a state of peace + safety to keep moving in their highest potential. While working with humans such as this, it enables me, through my not for profit, to be of service on an even deeper level, by working with humans in the prison system + just exiting long term prison sentences, to make reentry into a new world for them that much easier + sustainable.

Via meditation, breath work, sound healing.

BREATH.

MIND.

BODY.

I am here for the human, at whatever stage they are in, in their world, empowering them to believe in the power they hold within themselves.

Double Power Hour [Power Arc - Community Run Sessions]  Change Requires Confronting Power

Facilitated by Janine Rutsch and Rowan Spazzoli

This session explores the idea that meaningful systems change requires confronting power. Participants will examine the tensions, resistance, and possibilities that emerge when individuals and communities challenge existing structures in pursuit of more equitable and responsive systems.

Rowan Spazzoli is a systems change educator, social entrepreneur, and adjunct lecturer at the University of Cape Town (UCT). He first entered the field of systems thinking as a Map the System participant in 2017, before going on to lead the Map the System programme at the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship at UCT for seven years. In that role, he supported and mentored student teams applying systems thinking to complex social and environmental challenges in South Africa, including the first African team to win the global Map the System competition at Oxford in 2022.

Rowan is the co-founder of The Sparks Impact Fellowship, a pan-African social enterprise building pathways for purpose-driven graduates into impact careers through work placements and training in systems thinking, impact measurement, finance, and storytelling. He also co-founded Phaphama SEDI, which has impacted more than 600 students and 150 township based entrepreneurs over the past decade. Alongside this work, Rowan serves as Community Lead at Yunus Social Innovation, where he supports a global network of social entrepreneurs in WASH and health, and has guest lectured across various social impact, entrepreneurship, and systems change programmes.

Janine Rutsch is a chartered accountant and systems thinker focused on advancing inclusive, sustainable development in Africa. She co-founded the Sparks Impact Fellowship, a talent development agency creating pathways to the social impact sector for purpose-driven African graduates. This path has involved navigating power dynamics where marginalised youth voices are invited into decision-making spaces without corresponding shifts in power or accountability. She is proudly part of the SCEU Africa volunteer group, and eager to learn more on questions of power, equity and systems change.

Double Power Hour [Power Arc - Community Run Sessions] What is Power Anyway?

Facilitated by Aiyana Smith and Shiva Roofeh

This opening session establishes a shared foundation for the learning arc by developing common language and understandings around power. Participants will explore what power is, where it shows up in everyday systems and interactions, and begin using tools to recognize and analyze how it operates.

Stay for the second session, [Power Arc - Community Run Sessions] Change Requires Confronting Power, facilitated by Janine Rutsch and Rowan Spazzoli. This session explores the idea that meaningful systems change requires confronting power. Participants will examine the tensions, resistance, and possibilities that emerge when individuals and communities challenge existing structures in pursuit of more equitable and responsive systems.

Aiyana Smith is an instructional coach, educator and novice systems thinker passionate about designing learning environments that center student voice, autonomy, and deep thinking. Her work focuses on personalized learning, equity-centered systems change, and helping educators examine how everyday structures shape human behavior and learning. She enjoys bringing people together around complex questions and creating spaces where reflection, curiosity, and collective meaning-making can thrive. 

Shiva Roofeh is a curious rebel, community builder and perpetual smiler. She is also a secret punk, partner, friend, culture creator and learning design specialist. With 15+ years of experience working with Fortune 500 companies,  she helps leaders connect the dots between systems, power, culture and themselves so that they can make more informed, ethical and emergent decisions that create more positive impact.

This event is hosted by the Systems Practice Community – not SCEU! We love their sessions, though, and there’s synchronicity to share. Find out more information about the Systems Practice Community, and this session, join their google group: https://groups.google.com/g/systems-practice-community

How do you bring a systems lens into evaluation in less-than-ideal conditions? When someone wants systems thinking included but is still building their understanding? Or when what's already in place leans linear, and there's little room to maneuver? There isn't one clean answer, but there are ways in. In this interactive session, Alexandria Sedar will share her experience using facilitation strategies that bring a systems lens into evaluation while strengthening the capacity of the teams she works with. Participants will experience some of these strategies firsthand, grounded in real scenarios from her practice, and have space to share what has worked in their own contexts, ask questions, and learn from each other.

About Alexandria

Alexandria Sedar is the founder of A. Sedar Consulting, LLC and part of the team at Convive Collective. For over a decade, she has partnered with organizations across sectors, from grassroots coalitions to government agencies to Fortune 100 companies, bringing a systems lens to evaluation, capacity building, and program design. Her work in the US and Latin America, spanning infrastructure projects, MEL systems, and violence prevention, shapes how she thinks about complexity, context, and what rigor looks like in practice. A systems thinker, peacebuilder, and self-described facilitation nerd, she is guided by a belief in the power of story and creativity to build shared understanding and foster collective action. When she's not doing this work, she's growing and cooking food, exploring new places, working on one of her fiction stories, or accumulating random facts.

For July, August, and September 2026 all SCEU members get free access to the Unstuck Club offerings. In addition to a range of other modalities for getting "unstuck to thrive" this offering includes a monthly mastermind with Daniela Papi-Thornton where we explore a systems tool or concept and then apply it to our lives through journaling, small group conversations, and group reflection. 

Daniela has been running two communities: SCEU as an outward "systems" exploration and the Unstuck Club as a personal development group. This merger for July-Sept is a chance to explore how these two processes (inner and outer work) are of course intrinsically linked - so let's link them! 

Join this session to learn about a systems or complexity tool or concept and then apply it to your life! Feel free to pop in for one or join all three of the offerings in this Mastermind series including:

July 7th at 10:30-11:45am Mountain Time
Aug 11th at 12:00-1:15pm Mountain Time
Sept 22nd at 6:00-7:15pm Mountain Time

Join SCEU for an interactive workshop with John Kania who will take us through his learning journey from being a co-founder of the collective impact movement into his current passion: "healing systems" work. This session will explore what it took for John to move beyond a belief that systems change could come from structural re-design into his belief that "healing" is a fundamental component of change which, if overlooked or misunderstood, becomes a blocker to such change.

This presentation will take place in three parts with breakout conversations between them providing a chance to both learn from John while also reflecting on how his learning journey might inform your own.

John Kania is Executive Director of Collective Change Lab, a nonprofit that develops new approaches to collaboration and systems change. He is a leading thinker on collective impact, systems leadership, and the relational work of creating social change.

When it comes to individuals as well as movements and initiatives focused on raising awareness and driving social change, money often emerges as a block. In this workshop, we will explore why it is essential for each of us individually to understand our money stories to drive meaningful change individually and collectively. 

Money, in many ways, is the last frontier. No topic is still as taboo as money and many people feel anxiety or shame when money is discussed. Together with Nadja, we will investigate why speaking about money, what money really is and why it holds such power over our lives, relationships and initiatives. We will also explore some common issues that change makers encounter around money and how these affect the systems in which they operate. Finally, we will consider a new perspective on money that not only has the potential to transform our relationship with money but is a fundamental link in doing inner work that raises consciousness. 

The workshop will combine an introduction to moneywork, small-group interactions as well as demo coaching.

About Nadja

Nadjeschda (Nadja) Taranczewski holds a Master of Psychology and a Master Certified Coach credential by the International Coach Federation. She works as a coach, keynote speaker and is the author of the book Conscious You: Become the Hero of Your Own Story. Through her company ConsciousU, she supports CEOs, founders, coaches, and facilitators worldwide to create Conscious Tribes, aka a thriving collective in which every member does inner work, focuses on the bigger picture, engages in deep relationships and practices conscious rituals.

We’re glad to have Michael Strong joining us for this session!

Michael will discuss how he has focused on creating classroom and school-wide cultures that are supportive of deep intellectual dialogue and how re-shaping or re-conceputualizing the curriculum and assessment, especially in Language Arts and Social Studies, can also support a school-wide culture of intellectual dialogue.  He will provide a brief talk and then open it to Q&A, responding to questions about how best to implement this path in the particular circumstances faced in different institutional situations.

About Michael:

Michael Strong has pioneered school models that accelerate student achievement for 35 years.

He developed a public school program where minority female students acquired four years of critical thinking skills in four months. He then led Montessori-inspired secondary programs in San Antonio and later Palo Alto.  He also created The Winston Academy, where middle school students excelled in AP exams, making it one of the nation’s most advanced schools, and Moreno Valley High School, ranked 36th by Newsweek among over 20,000 U.S. public high schools.

Later, Michael co-founded KoSchool, combining his approach to AP coursework and SAT improvement with entrepreneurial and creative projects. KoSchool became the model for The Academy of Thought and Industry, the high school program for the largest Montessori network in the United States.

Michael wrote his graduate dissertation under the Gary Becker, a Nobel laureate. He authored The Habit of Thought, a comprehensive book on teaching through Socratic dialogue, and co-authored Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World’s Problems with John Mackey, former CEO of Whole Foods.

On June 1st at 9am MT, we’re excited to be joined by Peter Koenig, who will talk about his seminal work and research around the principles of source. The first 60 minutes will be Peter’s talk; the last 30 minutes will be optional opportunity for an integration conversation.

“Source work” explores the role of source, the person through whom an idea emerges. The work also explores the shadow side of source - how the internal shadows of the ideas “source” end up being reflected in the systems of the organization. 

Peter has studied the phenomenology of money since the early 1980s, giving presentations and performing original research with small groups. Following an MBA in Geneva, Peter ran a business providing management training, leadership and strategic development processes for companies. In 1987 he became an independent financial and organizational consultant to companies and non-profit organizations. In 1994 he launched his first public Money Seminar and in 1999 initiated a new international conference series on Money & Business Partnership. In 2009 he started elaborating his ideas on source, with his research involving over 500 entrepreneurs and founders.

You can read more of Peter’s story here, read more about his work in the book Work with Source by his colleague Tom Nixon, and learn more with us on this June 1st call!

As Dana Meadows said, a system is “an interconnected set of elements that is coherently organized in a way that achieves something.” 

So, this naturally prompts a few questions…

• How do these "elements" become an "interconnected set" vs. simply present in the same domain or relative to the same issue?

• Once connected, how do they become "coherently organized" so they can actually address what they most care about?

• And, what is that "something" they're individually and collectively seeking to "achieve" - in actionable terms?

These questions have been explored and answered in dozens of systems change projects over the last 25 years, including aligning the Guerrillas and the Military in Guatemala, restoring the Fisheries in the Great Lakes, and pivoting a $30B legacy tech company confronting Google and Amazon, along with instances of each of the 17 SDGs. 

In this conversation, we'll explore the six emergent levels for creating the Relationship and Clarity needed to awaken six essential systems change agent capabilities on the path to systems change.

More about Scott:

Scott has discovered an emergent systems change methodology that has consistently solved problems his clients call "impossible." He's done so in projects like: aligning the Guerrillas & the Military in Guatemala (along with 30 other key stakeholders); sustainably managing 250MM acres of Southern U.S. Forest; pivoting a $30B legacy tech company confronted by Google & Amazon; along with solving for instances of each of the 17 SDGs - and more. 

You can find Scott on LinkedIn and watch his YouTube video "Strategy is Fundamentally Broken..."

Please join us for this 90-minute session!

The world feels increasingly turbulent - climate disruption, polarization, institutional mistrust, and rapid technological change. Yet many of the systems producing these outcomes persist even though few people actually want them.

Why?
Often, the assumptions we bring into a system quietly shape the behaviors and outcomes it produces.

In this interactive session, Daniel Hires invites participants to explore how perception, expectations, and relational dynamics influence the systems we build. Through experiential exercises and reflection, we will examine how cultivating inner development can help leaders and educators navigate complexity, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and expand what becomes possible in the systems we inhabit.

Daniel is a strategist, speaker, and systems thinker working at the intersection of leadership, innovation, and societal transformation. As Chief Marketing Officer of the Inner Development Goals, he helped scale the initiative into a global movement connecting inner growth with systems change.

This call is open to all!

For our May SCEU book club meeting (90 minutes), we’ll be joined by Marta Ceroni for a discussion around Donella Meadows’ primer Thinking in Systems. Marta is co-director of the Academy for Systems Change and the Donella Meadows Project, and brings her own deep scholarship to this text.

Please come ready for a co-creative discussion on the material covered in Thinking in Systems. We’ll spend the first 60 minutes in active discussion together and the last 30-minutes as an opportunity for an integration conversation. 

Thinking in Systems is widely available (we recommend searching online to find the version of the book that you’d like to access!). If you decide to purchase a copy and use this link at bookshop.org, your purchase will support SCEU and independent bookstores.

About Marta Ceroni

Marta Ceroni is the Co-director at the Academy for Systems Change where she leads the Donella Meadows Project, dedicated to maintaining an online archive of Donella (Dana) Meadows’ work and to developing resources and programs for students, educators, practitioners, and leaders in social change. In 2025 together with Carrie Norton of Upstream Studio, Marta hosted Dancing with Systems, a 6 months online learning journey centering the learnings of practitioners who have been inspired by Dana Meadows in their work. 

Before this position, Marta worked as a Research Professor for 10 years at the University of Vermont as part of the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics (now Institute of Environment). Marta holds a doctorate in forest ecology and is passionate about revealing the profound connections between human well-being and Earth's living systems, bringing a systemic understanding of complex social and environmental issues and experience as an educator, group facilitator, researcher, author, and dancer. 

Rob Ricigliano, of the Omidyar Group, will share his work on Pando Funding (read more!), the Governance Futures Network (GFN), and systems change networks more broadly. We’re looking forward to a dynamic conversation that leverages Rob’s deep expertise and experience in this space. 

This session will be up to 90 minutes – join within the first hour for more of a content-oriented discussion and conversation and the last thirty minutes for more of an opportunity to think and integrate together on what Rob shares.

Have you heard about Neil Theise, the pathologist who recently found a new organ system? Well, it's not "new" of course, as it has always been there, but Western Medicine had overlooked it, day after day, until Neil Theise overroad his own confirmation bias and "found" it. Learn the story of the interstitium, why Neil's meditation practice might have contributed to his being able to see what others had missed, and how this relates to complexity and our own ability to see interconnections and patterns in the systems we care about. Neil will speak to his interstitium discovery experience, his book, "Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being" and we'll see what else! Whatever it is, we can't wait!

(Fan girl moment: Over here at SCEU, we (Carolyn & Daniela) did a little dance of joy when Neil said yes to doing this session. We think the interstitium story is an incredible one to help illustrate why systems and complexity skills are essential, and what happens when we overlook them and we both have been following Neil and his work and can't wait to learn from him live! Daniela even wrote a piece about Neil and the interstitium if you want to check it out!) 

More about Neil: Neil Theise is a professor of pathology at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Through his scientific research, he has been a pioneer of adult stem cell plasticity and the anatomy of the human interstitium. Dr. Theise’s studies in complexity theory have led to interdisciplinary collaborations in fields such as integrative medicine, consciousness studies, and science-religion dialogue.  He is a long time student of Zen Buddhism with the Village Zendo in NYC.

Co-hosted by Unity Effect and SCEU

How do we move beyond the "Heropreneur" model – the model of the lone change-maker with linear, attributable, and clean impact — toward a living Theory of Systems Change?

In this session of the Regenerative Evaluation Dialogue Series, Jannik Kaiser from Unity Effect joins Daniela Papi-Thornton from Systems. Change. Educators. Unite. to unpack the limits of traditional Theories of Change and introduce how the Impact Garden operationalizes a Theory of Contribution. This conversation will invite a shift from claiming credit towards mapping the ecosystem of change you're a part of.

With Elinor Bray-Collins, Isabel Sousa, and Stephen Stockton — more information to come!

Join this practical 90-minute online session with Beth Smith and Anna Panagiotou of The Cynefin Company designed for education leaders and innovators who want to understand and navigate systems change. Before the workshop please take part in a short SenseMaker engagement (link) that gathers experiences and observations from across the network. These contributions will harvest the current challenges, opportunities and dilemmas facing practitioners across the world.

In the workshop we will explore the collected data together. You will have a hands-on introduction to SenseMaker as an approach for collective horizon scanning and enquiry. We will look at emerging patterns, discuss what they might mean for practice and dig deeper into shifts in the wider environment. The session will help you see your context with fresh eyes and consider next steps for your own work and for the wider system.

All are welcome to join these monthly "working" conversations about how together we can contribute to SCEU!

For our first SCEU “Unboxing the Curriculum” event, we’re pleased to have Brian Trelstad from Harvard University and Cheryl Gladu from Thompson Rivers University joining us!

Brian and Cheryl will each present a bit about their curriculum and then have an opportunity to answer questions, workshop, solicit feedback, and/or facilitate a conversation about the information they shared. The last 30 minutes of this 90-minute session will be either a bigger group discussion or breakout rooms for topic-specific conversations… we’ll workshop this format and set-up together!

Here is a bit about the course and/or projects that Brian and Cheryl will bring to the session:

Brian shared that he'll bring the following course to talk about: Social Entrepreneurship & Systems Change (SESC): Social entrepreneurs don’t just build organizations, they change systems. This course will explore the frameworks, tools, mindsets, and best practices that successful social entrepreneurs use to maximize their impact not just through the direct delivery of the products or services of an organization, but through the systems level work that collaborate to achieve. The course looks at social entrepreneurship through the lens of traditional social entrepreneurship and asks how people motivated by disrupting entrenched and often inequitable systems need different skills and mindsets to be effective. SESC takes a deep dive into how social entrepreneurs can become systems entrepreneurs by developing a coherent systems strategy, collaborating with others, building power, and mobilizing change. // We [Brian] have put the course on Harvard X: Social Entrepreneurship & Systems Change, and a link to that can be found here. It is a compressed version of the MBA course using a subset of the same cases offered free and also at a cost for a Harvard X certificate of completion.

Cheryl shared that she’ll bring the following courses to talk about: Course projects that I’ve incorporated into my Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Grad) and Creativity and Innovation (Undergrad) courses. I also have two courses in development that I would like to workshop, if possible. I’d love to learn from others and incorporate that in my current thinking on those classes – one is “Systems Thinking in Wildfire Management,” which is part of a specialized certificate we are offering starting Fall 2026, to support training and leadership in wildfire management (a hot topic in these parts, unfortunately) and the second comes out of my experience with the Creativity class mentioned above… I worked with my colleagues to restructure our Entr program and build a course called “Navigating complexity: Systems thinking as entrepreneurial practice,” which will be vertically integrated into the Creativity course above, providing students with a path to continue their work on thinking and acting on more complex problems.

SCEU member Akash Bhalerao will facilitate this interactive 60-minute session:

Now that we are all gathered, and the engagement momentum picks up, I (Akash) would love to use this session to kick off an appreciative inquiry. An inquiry rooted in the quest for peer learning and in codifying insights and best practices for the larger ecosystem on how systems change educators in this network have been using in their practice/teaching.

We can spend time sharing curiosities, as well as resources/practices we are already using. These insights will support us in creating the research design we can use to learn from the larger community in the SCEU network.

We're so excited about this talk with Mentor Dida! Here is his description of the 60-minute session:

We spend so much time talking about how to change systems. But we rarely stop to ask: Who is the one trying to change it?

I grew up during the war in Kosovo. I’ve seen what broken systems do to people. And I’ve also seen what courageous humans can rebuild. Over the years - working with changemakers, social entrepreneurs, and leaders - I’ve noticed something simple but often ignored: The quality of the change we create is directly connected to the identity we carry.

In this 60-minute session, I’ll invite us into a deeper question: Who are we being while we are trying to fix what’s broken?

Through story, reflection, and practical tools, we’ll explore how the way we see ourselves quietly shapes the systems we design, the power we hold, and the change we attempt to create. We’ll look at what it means to expand identity - beyond Me, beyond role, beyond “expert” - so that the change we create comes from wholeness rather than reactivity.

This isn’t a tactical workshop. It’s a grounding one. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of who does our future needs us to be today.

We're excited to have Jannik Kaiser & Erinda Panen Godesberg join us to work together through their Impact Garden tool, as it relates to SCEU!

Please join us for this 90-minute session -- the first 60 minutes will be a presentation and the last 30 minutes will be time for the SCEU community to integrate what we've been talking about and working with. We totally understand that you may just be able to join for part of this!
