Sensing Systems:
Cultivating Systems Awareness
in Complex Times
Explore a unique approach to trauma-informed leadership, grounded in the principles of Gestalt psychology, systems thinking, IFS and eco-psychology
Effective responses to a wounded system require the capacity to sense, name, and disrupt patterns of systemic fragmentation while cultivating spaces for connection and coherence.

“Trauma-informed leadership is not about “fixing” individuals but about integrating what systems and cultures systematically exclude”
– Steffi Bednarek

Drawing from ‘Climate, Psychology, and Change’, we will apply systemic sensing to understand how leaders often unconsciously perpetuate unhealthy dynamics in organisational and ecological systems. Participants will gain tools to lead with embodied presence, navigate intergenerational trauma, and foster regenerative practices within interconnected systems of human and more-than-human life.
“To truly know my soul, I must understand what I am entangled with, whether it is another human, a stone, or a river” – Steffi Bednarek

Nothing is what it seems, the symptom is not the problem, psychology is not just psychology. There is a necessary blurring that brings transcontextual combining into every moment of life. The response is not a strategy, but rather a shifted ecology of perception. This beautiful book leaves nothing behind.

I am 26 yrs old, and these are the conversations I’ve been searching for my whole life. My soul is crying with gratefulness and hope. This book launch conversation feels ancient and profound, and I feel as if every age of my being resonates and knows about what has been shared here so far.

Climate, Psychology and Change is more than a book, it is a treasure of radical ideas and profound insights. It is a book of wisdom!

The in-depth exploration of our climate crisis from a mental-health perspective, offered in this book, will be an important contribution to an urgently needed dialogue.
