Networks are the only form of organization used by living systems on this planet. These networks result from self-organization, where individuals or species recognize their interdependence and organize in ways that support the diversity and viability of all. Networks create the conditions for emergence, which is how Life changes.
~Margaret Wheatley and Deborah Frieze, “Lifecycle of Emergence: Using Emergence to Take Social Innovation to Scale,” Berkana Institute.org.

Network Leadership
Although networks arise from the self-organization of all members, a few people have stepped up to get things going, calling ourselves the Network Weavers: Aravinda Ananda, Werner Brandt, Molly Brown, Paula Hendrick, Emily Ryan, and Constance Washburn.
The Core Team of Weavers hold bi-weekly online meetings to make decisions by consensus. Other Weavers attend meetings of the Core Team when they are able, or when they want to bring up a proposal or concern. If you want to be involved in the Weavers group or the Core Team, please let us know via our Contact Form.

Hello dear ones,
I am living in Bali and actively seeking training in the WTR. I found an upcoming event in Tataka, NZ at a Yoga retreat called Anahata and facilitated by a woman named Inna Alex. Do you know anything about this organization and trainer? http://www.anahata-retreat.org.nz/wiki/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=885
I would love it if you had any information about them so I can decide wether or not this would be a good investment to make. Thank you so much!
