Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds
By Adrienne Maree Brown

Our author this week, Adrienne Maree Brown, says that “the world is full of beauty, magic, miracles, and patterns that induce wonder.” Well, so is this book. She writes with the flare of a lightning bug, illuminating one thought before taking an artful swoop to the next idea. The reader is invited to engage nonlinearly--to find their way through these pages however makes most sense to them. I was struck by the amount of pleasure I experienced, reading at my own pace with my own curiosities, and the amount of artistry it takes for an author to facilitate an embodied experience through written words. If you are looking for facilitation tools for workshops about climate. If you are seeking solace before the election. This is a book for you. “This is...a book about the preciousness of time. It’s limited and it’s so sacred, friends. And everything we do, every single thought and action and relationship and institution, everything is practice ground.”

"Emergence is our inheritance as a part of this universe; it is how we change. Emergent strategy is how we intentionally change in ways that grow our capacity to embody the just and liberated worlds we long for.”
