Featuring: Hemera Margrieta In this audio piece, I present my case in the u.lab 1.0 coaching group and my experiences in doing this. I joined u.lab 1.0 from September to December 2021, my first experience with it. Coaching groups are part of the course structure, and for the duration of the training our coaching group met weekly. Each week, someone new would present his or her case to the group, moving through the structure of the U. I recorded myself while I was doing this. I really took my time to prepare my case and the more time I spent on it, the more I got stuck. Halfway through the session, while sitting at the bottom of the U, I sensed the energy shift. This piece is about that shift, and the deeper insights that came with it.

We, the Climate Pact Ambassadors’ Societal Transformation Hub, are a community of concerned European citizens, who come together, not as experts in the field of climate, and not driven by any political agenda, but as volunteers, committed to supporting and advancing a pan-European climate movement and action. Emerging out of Covid, with a war raging in Europe, with misinformation impacting opinions, we are constantly faced with the challenges of climate emergency. And so, more than ever, our time to act and to use our voice is now. We want to help make visible and felt what is truly happening in Europe beyond the terrifying scenarios around us. As we come together, we want to inquire together into:
What are the positive actions happening in Europe now? How can our involvement have a transformative and sustainable impact? Where are we ready to become quicker and more courageous? How can we help each other?
The Climate Pact Ambassadors’ Societal Transformation Hub invited EU-based climate action projects to join an hour-long Sensing Conversation, aiming to make visible what is currently happening in the region. We hoped to sense into the current reality and emerging seeds of change. Sharing this will support our meaning-making in our common global moment and emerging future.
Part 1: Interview about the process of Andean contemplation for inner development and the story of curandero Ruben Orellana. Featuring: Vivianna Rodriguez Carreon & Ruben Orellana Neira.

Ukraine is called the fulcrum of the democratic world. But putting politics aside, how has the situation in Ukraine affected Europe and the whole world? And what can each of us learn from the Ukrainian crisis? We will look at Russia’s attempt to invade Ukraine through the integral lens, playing with a metaphor for a new way of being that Ukrainians are role-modeling for the world. We will use Otto Scharmer’s, Robert Kegan’s, Claire Grave's and Don Beck’s models to illustrate how the Ukrainian crisis is affecting the collective consciousness of Western countries. We will also discuss how trauma can turn into growth and bring hope for the whole world.

Team GAIA GAYA Voices from the Philippines: Dreams, Fears and Hopes for the Philippines' Sociopolitical
SystemFeaturing: Eric Cruz, Dada Salud, Martin Semilla, Ruel Abion, Abbie Abion, Yuki Abion, Gi Semilla, Mildred Manuel, Gayle Robidiso, Eiamin del Corro, Marc Spencer Kho, Clary Sevilla, Tina Bagawan
The Philippines experienced the heartbreaking collapse of our sociopolitical system when the son of a former corrupt dictator was elected as the new president, in recent elections in May 2022.
The election deepened divisions among the Filipino people who supported different candidates, and it highlighted the cracks and weaknesses of the sociopolitical system in the country.
The GAIA GAYA team decided to hold space to start reparation, reconciliation, and reckoning by listening to each other.
We invited people who supported different candidates during the election. Without disclosing who supported whom, we asked everyone what their dreams, fears and hopes are for the Philippines’ sociopolitical system.

"The strength of civil society shows up in the courage and resolve of the Ukrainian people — not just the military personnel, but everyone" says Otto Scharmer in his article 'Putin and the Power of Collective Action from Shared Awareness.' It looks like real magic: theory that has found practical embodiment.
Спів is the Ukrainian word for ‘singing,’ and we regularly sensed this word's meaning before and after meetings. In his article, Otto discusses multiple perspectives on the war, and highlights collective action from shared awareness in the Ukrainian people's reaction to war. The social transformation that began in 2014 in Ukraine draws on the power of our ancestry hidden in the meaning of words - a shared story with which to reach common goals.
In the past, Ukrainians sang to find resonance in common work: harvesting, and fighting our enemies. Recovering our songs during this war is about getting to the roots of the wisdom we have been separated from over centuries. Today, volunteers cooking, waving camouflage nets or organizing logistics are also singing. Ukrainians sing during demonstrations and on the battlefield. Those who never knew the words of traditional songs learn them. They become part of a network of people, elevated by their personalities, a network of leaders. By changing ourselves, we have changed our society, our country, and our leadership, shaping Zelensky into a phenomenon and brave leader. We are shaping fractals of change, helping the country resist, survive and move forward with care and love, spreading and multiplying.
Singing today is believing on a personal level, connecting on a group level, and in this belief giving dynamics to small actions in life when we have had our ability to dream the future stolen from us. Through shared awareness, we transform personally and then transform the whole country.

How the President of Ukraine is challenging the world leaders to show up with more courage and authenticity. Undoubtedly, this war has shaken our world to the degree that it has got the tectonic plates moving in almost all areas of life. What new qualities of leadership have we seen embodied by the people of Ukraine and its president Volodymyr Zelenskyy during their life-or-death fight for freedom? And how do these qualities differ from what we are used to in the European political domain during the last 20+ years? Will we be able to pick up this energy and build on it to form a sustainable demand for the 2nd-Tier political Leadership, which is Courageous, Decisive, Authentic, Selfless, and Visionary? Or will the more vibrant, charismatic, and strong-willed leadership remain under the dominion of authoritarian dictators? There’s much to rethink and re-examine in today’s political and societal leadership.
