Drawing from ancient wisdom - a new reflective guide
I like what EMCC (European Mentoring & Coaching Council) shares in their new guide to support members in reflecting more deeply on how they might want to engage in systemic work with clients focused on sustainable models of living and being.
Key Wisdom Concepts
- Observe and Interact: Derived from permaculture, this principle emphasizes deep listening and embodied observation to support clients in making positive incremental changes.
- The More-Than-Human World: Challenges the idea of human superiority by viewing humanity as part of a vast ecological community. This includes the "wisdom of trees" (interconnected support networks) and "deep time" (viewing life through Earth's 4.6-billion-year history).
- Ancient Human Wisdom: Incorporates teachings such as Ubuntu (interdependence), Komorebi (noticing subtle beauty), and the "Four Sacred Gifts" (forgiveness, unity, healing, and hope).
- Reciprocity and Abundance: Inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer's work on the serviceberry, this concept shifts from a scarcity mindset to one of gratitude and giving back to the ecosystem.
