ABSTRACT

In a world where so many doubt the future of the planet, we sense grounds for hope and even excitement. We suggest how generative mindfulness can transform organizational culture, awareness-based action research can fuel community engagement, and inclusion can enable the creation of an anti-racist agenda to create a culture where people are respected and have voice. The chapter presents our experiences integrating awareness practices and social change, showing the importance of combining systems thinking with appreciation for what human beings can offer one another and the earth.
