Dear Subscriber First Name,

We’re thrilled to announce the release of Foundations of Systems Sensing: An Exploratory Guide to the Sensing Journey Method. This book emerges from years of work in systems change, deep listening, and embodied inquiry—and we’re excited to share it with you.

Why this book?

Navigating complexity—whether it’s investment uncertainty, a cancer diagnosis, or rethinking an organization’s direction—requires more than just technical and rational solutions. Systems sensing is about engaging with the deeper dynamics at play—relational, intuitive, and emergent. This guide provides practical tools and reflective insights to help practitioners sense and respond to the systems we’re engaged in with greater awareness and alignment.

Inside the book

• 20 case stories showcasing how people have used Sensing Journeys in various contexts and situations to navigate uncertainty and create meaningful change.

• Background, essentials, and key aspects of this emerging practice and useful tips on how to work with the Sensing Journey method yourself—whether as an individual, team, or organization.

• Wisdom from a global community of practitioners working with complexity in fields ranging from social impact to organizational change to everyday soul searching.
