  • Episode 04: The future is Syntropic – Success is a thriving planet

    In the fourth episode of this podcast mini-series comes a fascinating and action-packed exchange between Christine and DJ Carey – a call to action, with the rich rewards available when we take the Syntropic path. This episode invites you to move from the impossible to the possible. To overcome the too big, too hard, too uncertain cannot be obstacles – and to join in syntropy as allies.  Be challenged to turn to the horizon - to advance on Gandhi’s quote, Be the Change. To live the change you intend to create, now, in all ways, all the time.

    DJ and Christine will call you to action to free the sustainable, regenerative, syntropic world from the cages of entropic systems. One trim tab change at the individual level. One trim tab change at the enterprise level.

    This podcast talks to creating a scaffolding for a Syntropic Life, including the use of technology, and a Syntropic Enterprise and examines why this is this important.   Hear about how to get involved and why. For more information: https://syntropic.world/

  • Episode 03: Systems in Syntropy – A global ecology of integrity and trust

    In this powerful, confronting and passionate conversation Christine and Cindy discuss the practice of Syntropy.

    What happens when we animate the critical elements of a Syntropic Enterprise?
    How does it affect people, not just those actively participating but also those affected by the enterprise in the near and very far term?
    We hold this in tension with our current Molochian world, where the system is designed for win-lose: accumulation to the few at the cost of the many, extraction to extinction, colonisation and exploitation of people and life.
    Human history is bloody, cruel and violent.
    Yet so is our present.
    Don’t miss the insights from these two thought-leaders as they uncover the possibilities in a Syntropic future.

  • Episode 02: Human Symphonies – Partnerships for a Syntropic planet

    Join Christine and Sarah in their moving, enlightening and far-reaching conversation exploring how we have these truths:

    • Each life has value, and each life is unique.
    • Humans want to make a valuable contribution, to belong, to be a part of something that asks them to be better than their small selves.
    • We do not want to feel exploited, to be extracted to extinction, to colonise or be colonised.
    • We long for beauty, creativity, and connection - to touch, daily, the sacred and awe.

      • This podcast examines - then what do we do? We redesign everything in partnership with life.

      We learn from Sarah’s work about how a Syntropic Enterprise is a living system. It is biological. It has cells, membranes, and organs. No one part can thrive without the other. Communication flows are exquisite and extraordinary. It has a nervous system. It also has consciousness connected to the greater consciousness of the field.

      In this episode, Christine and Sarah speak of the critical anatomical parts of a Syntropic Enterprise. Whether your enterprise is a family, a partnership, a team, a community, an NGO, or a company. Remember that each part, like your liver, cannot exist without the healthy functioning of all other parts. All parts work together synergistically, where the collective is greater than any part. This conversation speaks the parts that make the whole, and shares stories of application in real time. Practical. Real. Alive. Human. Hopeful. Profitable. How this effects people, teams, families, communities, enterprises, earth and the future when we apply these principles.

      • Episode 01: Syntropic Voyage – Charting course towards life and hope

        In this episode, Christine shares the origin story of Syntropic World – with it’s substrate at the intersection of:

        1.       Working with the powerful white male. For Christine, working as an executive coach with senior executive men over the years, reaching the place where they would share their fears and concerns with her more than with anyone, had her realise their yearning was for the same things as most people, and that they knew they were trapped in a system that is killing us.
        2.       As a dedicated applied student of Buckminster Fuller’s work, Christine is applying what he called the Nature's Coordinate system - laws and lore - to human relational design. Teams, partnerships, enterprises. Eventually, to her own enterprise, Big Blue Sky and then Syntropic World.
        3.       Christine’s natural tendency to be a visionary pioneer, edge dweller, truth seeker, systems thinker.
        4.       Christine’s love of business and enterprise. People doing things together.
        Christine spent her earlier years trying to re-arrange deck chairs on the Titanic. Eventually, she realised that we needed to build new boats. Our existing human-constructed systems are antagonistic to life. (Legal codes, capitalism, how we measure, what we measure, our work, how we work, the technology we use.)
        Through her own very dark night, she chose to bring Syntropic World to life, inspired by the questions…
        Do we care enough? About the sacredness of all life? Our precious Earth and her creatures? Our future? About justice for all?
        And if the answer is yes, what can we do?
        In this podcast Christine and Jan discuss how humanity’s present and future might be if we held life as sacred in all of our work, play and enterprise. We explore life and work as devotion. A vow and commitment to the things that matter most. We contemplate reverence as a business practice - a deep and abiding respect for our staff, customers, the future, and all stakeholders, including ourselves. We paint the picture of possibility forged from a new beginning as the world that is tearing itself apart slips further into the shadows.
        They share a hopeful story, asking us to reach inside and connect with our Soulful longing for the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.
        Nature’s Coordinate system, tested over billions of years, is still to be unrivalled by any technology created by humans. How might we partner with the laws of Nature in all we do, and when we do that, what is the effect and possibility? This is what indigenous peoples did for thousands of years.
        How might we establish enterprises, any human endeavour, where life is held as sacred in all domains? Where humans come together and create together in ways that evoke awe and delight. Where we grow up together as we create and design the project, service or technology that we care deeply about that supports an increase in well-being for a hundred percent of life.
        When we do this, what happens? What happens to our team, to us, to the community? Our future? To our profitability?
        A fascinating, and not to be missed podcast!
