Systems scribing is a visual practice that combines scribing\u2014visually representing ideas while people talk\u2014with systems thinking. This is a new, tangible approach to representing dynamics, occurring in the moment and over time, between a scribe and a social body. This discipline develops a critical skill to facilitate a system\u2019s ability to see and sense itself, as well as crystalize ideas into action. <\/span><\/p>\n

This online lab<\/strong> will create a space to learn and practice systems scribing by exploring multiple directions of coming to understand systems: outside in\u2014where cognition determines understanding, and inside out\u2014where we function from a place of inherent interconnectedness.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Program Overview<\/h2>\n

Week 1: Containers
<\/strong>Containers are energetic holding spaces that foster trust, risk, and truth. In this session we will set the foundation for the lab by: getting to know one another, mapping the terrain of the 5 week learning arc, and establishing some key parameters for our time together.
<\/em><\/p>\n

Session 2: Systems Thinking
<\/strong>Here we dive into the basics of systems scribing and present models, methods, and\u00a0 techniques for practicing this new methodology, including 2D modeling and visual vocabulary.<\/p>\n

Session 3: Systems Being<\/strong>
We continue to explore systems scribing by introducing the mindset of systems being\u2014a deeper knowing of interconnection that guides our responsibility to living species, restores dignity to the land, it\u2019s peoples and cultures, and informs preservation of the planet.<\/p>\n

Week 4: Systems Living
<\/strong>We will review drawing from within a place of systems being, adding elements of time, presencing, and generative scribing.<\/p>\n

Week 5: Practice Case
<\/strong>This session will provide an opportunity for a longer conversation\u2014and scribing session\u2014on one topic (to be determined) that addresses a systemic issue we face in the world today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Process<\/h3>\n

Online<\/strong>: Each 75-minute Zoom session will include: framing and content that we encourage participants to scribe; break out groups for sharing; full group reflection; questions and answers.<\/p>\n

Offline<\/strong>: Community space in Mighty Networks where participants can further share their insights from the live sessions, application in practice, images, questions, insights, and additional resources.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dates and Times<\/h3>\n

The live sessions will take place every Wednesday in October at 8:00pm EDT, GMT-4, ie New York (Thursdays at 8:00am GMT+8, ie Beijing).<\/strong> We realize this makes it difficult for those in Africa and Europe to join, but hope this is a first prototype that will repeat in the future, adjusting for various time zones.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Week 1:<\/strong>\u00a0Wed 2 and Thurs 3
Week 2:<\/strong>\u00a0Wed 9\u00a0and Thurs 10
Week 3:<\/strong>\u00a0Wed 16\u00a0and Thurs 17
Week 4:<\/strong>\u00a0Wed 23\u00a0and Thurs 24
Week 5:<\/strong>\u00a0Wed 30 and Thurs 31<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who should participate?<\/h3>\n

This lab is open to all who are interested, with no previous experience in scribing or systems thinking required. Drawing will be our primary form of expression, and conversation the primary form of shared reflection. You do not have to be a skilled scribe or artist \u2013 but be prepared to use visual language as the main method of practice during the lab.<\/p>\n
