Systems Thinking

Systems Thinking

Definition

noun

An approach to understanding complex phenomena by focusing on the relationships and patterns between parts rather than isolated components.

Interpretation

Seeing in webs. Systems thinking teaches us that nothing exists in isolation β€” every cause has a ripple, every action a context. In permaculture, it’s how we design with the whole in mind.

Living Invitation

Pick one "problem" in your life. Map out all the people, patterns, and feedback loops involved β€” not just the obvious part.
