Weaving is the practice of interconnecting people, projects and places in synergistic and purposeful ways.
As weavers, we focus on co-creating thriving networks and communities that enhance the wellbeing of self, society and nature. We cultivate spaces and projects for learning, connection and innovation that develop meaningful relationships between people, ideas, teams, projects, organizations, networks, places and nature.

Weaving Capacities
Through our practice and research, we have identified four key dimensions of weaving. Each weaving dimension integrates knowledge, skills and ways of being.
Connecting community
Collaborating for systemic change
Learning together
Embodying universal wellbeing

Because the challenges we work on are so complex, we embrace the power of collective action and emergence. We create conditions for diverse and inclusive learning ecosystems in which people feel belonging and meaning.
This is why connecting people, ideas, projects and nature in interdependent communities is important to us. We foster trustful relationships and aim to align communities to a shared set of values and purposes. As our communities evolve we grow with them to see how we can we can nourish and support the whole ecosystem.

Many of the big challenges of today are systemic and require us to tackle their root causes instead of symptoms. As weavers, it is therefore important to adopt a systemic mindset by sensing our role and embracing uncertainty.
Based on such an understanding we then co-create life-affirming narratives and implement fine-grained strategies. To do so we attract funding, align our teams and spread innovations that work. But doing is not all there is to it as we need to periodically step back to evaluate to adapt our approach.
We continuously improve our practice by working together, sharing stories, generating evidence and supporting each weaver’s journeys. We center learning in all of what we do to thrive together. We do this in many ways: We gather in interactive sessions, we reflect by ourselves and together and we learn from the patterns and wisdom of the natural world.

As weavers, we have a willingness to sit with the problems and potentials in our interconnected world. Based on this we develop practices that nurture our well-being. This includes our personal well-being in terms of emotional, mental, physical and relational aspects, and also societal and ecological well-being.
The embodiment of qualities and virtues is crucial for systemic change. Inner and outer change are truly interdependent. This is why we practice being aware, empathic, present, adaptable playful and more.

We catalyze our community for greater impact
We come together on a global level to support individuals and their local, national and regional projects. Over the years our members have run many campaigns, convened diverse stakeholders and created systemic impact in different fields. You find us re-imagining education, sustainability, community engagement and so much more.
Some of our approaches, processes and methodologies
Each member of our community has their palette of approaches and methodologies, which we mix and match to meet specific challenges. Below you can find a shortlist:
Many of us offer curated training and learning experiences on different topics regarding weaving. We tend to use highly interactive formats that engage individual learners and the wisdom of the collective. At The Weaving Lab, we hosted journeys for 500 weavers.
We often facilitate interactive events ranging from big conferences to small group explorations.Many of us are experienced in many different facilitation techniques that foster psychological safety and the engagement of any group we work with. Through our facilitation skills, we create impactful events that foster connectivity, learning and alignment.
We sense into a system, where to intervene and how to engage the right stakeholders by creating systems maps. These interactive maps show how different organizations are connected and what dynamics are impeding or facilitating change. Maps often inform our strategy, enhance our interventions and help us to make sense of relationships and how to further weave them.
Systemic Impact is a big word and more people are talking about it today. But, when do we know that we achieved it? Some of our weavers have specialized in approaches to measure the impact of social ecosystems. We evaluate our work in a way that informs our strategy and fosters learning throughout the ecosystem.
Real change and learning happen when we can hear and understand as many perspectives as possible. In a world where many views have been marginalized, fostering diversity, equity and inclusion are critical for weaving with all voices and understanding through multiple perspectives. We are experimenting and researching different processes and mindsets to integrate greater diversity in our worldviews, narratives, practices and communities.
Fostering effective organization in complex collaborative settings is challenging. Over the years we have experimented with many approaches on how to make decisions, foster accountability and drive engagement. While each learning ecosystem is unique there are very similar aspects to consciously design for instance principles, strategy and governance processes.
Many of us are active in researching and writing about weaving. We balance our practice with providing theoretical underpinnings and evidence of why weaving is critical in an interconnected world and what approaches work. Some of us design university programmes and courses and take this research into the classroom.
Trust-based relationships are key in any systemic change effort. Bridging across differences and finding common ground is therefore very important for us as weavers. We do not rush into action plans, but tend to our relations, nourish each other and create a solid foundation of trust. Then, projects and impacts emerge naturally.
As our vision is a world in which individuals, societies and the natural world are well and thriving we actively learn about self-care, mindfulness and whole systems health. Being in the natural world has taught many of us to balance being and doing and to allow growth to emerge in natural, cyclical ways.
