Prof Alexander Laszlo – Syntony Sense: Evolutionary Intuition for World Changers
How can we learn to Human Well? What would that mean, both individually and collectively?
Alexander Laszlo’s work focuses on the praxis of evolutionary systems design (ESD), systemic innovation for thriveability, and syntony as an organising force in societal evolution.
He is fascinated by expressions of Ubuntu and empathy so he studies them at the nexus of holistic being, transcendent sentience, and curated emergence. In short, he is interested in how to human well. He curates systemic nurturance spaces of Intrabeing, empathy and syntony.
Syntony refers to the state of being responsive to, and in harmony with, the environment. In this sense, syntony can be thought of as your personal GPS, a form of informed intuition that can be cultivated and developed, allowing you to align creatively and tune with the powerful resonant flows of nature that offer fertile pathways for ongoing emergence.
In this presentation, he will emphasise agency and speak to self-empowerment through a search for connection and rootedness and belonging. He will explore how we contribute to the emergence of life-affirming, future-creating and opportunity-increasing relationships with our mindful thoughts, actions and inactions. Engaging your syntony sense is conscious, purposeful and intentional, and yet effortless, genuine and natural. Using sense-ability (sensibility) to inform our response-ability (responsibility) grounded in a state of love-ability (loveability) and flowing through states of play-ability (playfulness) are all phases and forms through which syntony is expressed. Truly the simplest and most natural thing in the world, it is making yourself available to the flow of life in a self-evolving universe.
