In episode three we talked about seeing the patterns of life as ecosystems. If you haven’t already done so, you might want to go back to the bonus episode 2 on structures and flows - this gives you the underlying view on how ecosystems come into being and will help with this practice.

The patterning of hope is our capacity to bring our unique potential into the renewal of the patterns of life. In this final bonus episode in The Patterning of Hope series, Bill brings all that we’ve covered together in a simple exercise to explore the patterns of hope and renewal in your own life. As Bill says “To hope is to change our experience of the present moment into one of life, to renew the human where we are, and as such is to experience life even in the presence of death of ourselves and others.”
In this final episode in The Patterning of Hope series, Yasu and Bill discuss how the practice of transformation can be likened to that of democracy or language. What Bill is working to ignite around a movement of collective transformation. Plus we hand you an invitation and permission slip to pick up these practices and make them your own!
When we’re trying to bring about change we look for the simplest pattern that we have the power to embody in relationship with others to get change underway - we often call this establishing the Minimum Viable Pattern. In this seventh bonus episode Bill shares a practice for getting this process of change underway.
In this seventh episode in The Patterning of Hope series, Yasu and Bill explore the “hungry caterpillar” of transformation. They discuss how to bring about change, looking at the three stages of change (envision, enrol, mobilise). How to think about minimum viable patterns, and. value constellations. Plus Bill’s (revised and more poetic) definition of transformation. Links Three stages of change video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDNah-GSHss
