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.
