ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines an exercise to deepen awareness in a way which embraces complexity in sustainability and systems thinking. Through a guided reflective journey and an improvisation with real and fictional trees, it considers shifts in time, space, and context, to grasp how elements interact within and between systems. It invites consideration of how our own nature as human beings is embedded in the world around us. By doing so, the invitation is to grow respect for the kinship of other species and of nature itself in a way that embodies sustainability values.
