IKS Lab setting circle for Wanjau (collective sense-making yarn) around the possibility for global serpent Lores from every continent to inform common agreements on reaity and embassy protocols in the post-truth world, sidelining bad faith discourse and holding creation, together. Hat man snake painted by JMB.

Paul Kearney (Kearney Group) and Jack Manning Bancroft (AIME and IKS Labs), who for three years have funded and worked on research for a mega project to resolve multiple catastrophic risks, yarn here to unveil an ambitious plan.

A peek into our wanjau process of collective sense making, applying the Ko-design methodology we’ve been working on for a couple of years to a textual analysis of medical disinformation.

Yau! JD, Chels, JMB, Josh and Tyson from the Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab, live yarn at the Human Kind Festival in Sydney as we work through and develop Ko-design methodology in which Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people can work better in complexity through nature-informed processes.

Second public sharing of an Indigenous Knowledge Systems Lab think-tank session, in which we grapple with our ongoing thought experiment about Extinction Offsets.

Fritjof Capra in dialogue with fellows from the IK Systems Lab, Jack Manning Bancroft and Tyson Yunkaporta. Fritjof shares his accessible translation of a systems view of life – a four-part logic sequence that sits well in dynamic relation with Indigenous Knowledge. Creation is not just about patterns and replication, but the inevitable pattern-breakers that[...]
