Our Shared Challenge
We have a handful of years to align our economic, governance and value systems with Earth’s life support systems. It is clear that business as usual is part of the problem. Delay is more dangerous than denial. We need leaders with the courage to make change, and do it now.
Who We Are
A world with a future calls for systemic change beyond greenwashing and typical sustainability efforts. Syntropic Advisory unites an international team of thought leaders and practitioners dedicated to empowering organisations and people to navigate and thrive amidst the mounting challenges of our times. We work with leaders who are unafraid of deep transformation and are excited to build prosperity on the enduring foundations that safeguard life on Earth.
How We Work
We work in ways that respect life, build trust, and create lasting value.
What We Do
This work cannot be done using the same thinking and values that have created a world on fire. As a starting point, we invite participants on the Awakenings Journey to explore a wider story of the human family, our relationship with Earth, and the roads that have led us to such a deep crisis, a story that many of us do not encounter even within, or sometimes because of, the most prestigious traditional education. We then explore the Syntropic Principles, essentially how to think systemically across the Earth’s entire ecosystem, and design our human systems in a way that is compatible with the Earth’s planetary boundaries.
How We Do It
Our programmes can stand alone and be offered in different durations and formats, in person or online. They generate an understanding of the interconnectedness of our world, the systemic nature of the metacrisis and equip participants with applied tools to build regenerative Syntropic organisations/systems as well as to nurture self-development as a changemaker and a practice of self-care. When taken as a whole, the effect is exponential.
