ABSTRACT
The chapter positions a belief that we can and must have overview before we act as a barrier to real change, a belief intertwined with the economic growth logic, sexism, racism and human exceptionalism that co-creates unsustainability. Instead, it proposes metadesign as an uncompromisingly systemic and holistic craft of making change from within a ball of yarn. It takes the reader on a journey and meditation from Me to We to World and Back Again, exploring how a system of approaches—languaging, learning and governance—can support change agency from within each position. The chapter foregrounds care as a relational, intimate practice of healing available to anyone, anywhere; thereby decentralising response ability (Haraway, 2008) in the face of urgent convergent social and ecological crises.
