For Organizations
We offer training programs and accompany organizational transformation with the Words of Suiten cards, for companies and other organizations. Please get in touch for details.
01 — SCENE
Where the Cards Work Best
The Words of Suiten cards carry practical wisdom for living rooted in nature and ecosystems, drawn from Ecological Memes’ process of exploration, for individuals and organizations to put to use. We especially recommend our workshops and training for the purposes and situations below. Offsite programs that combine the cards with experiences in nature, as well as sessions for universities and educators, are also possible. Please feel free to ask.
02 — WHY
Why The Words of Suiten?
REASON 01
Drawing out each person’s values and inviting them to think for themselves
The Words of Suiten are not answers. The wisdom explored and practised at Ecological Memes is drawn out as in-between words — neither too abstract nor too concrete — and how they take shape as action is up to each person who receives them.
Precisely because of that, they impose no particular view or answer. They draw out the values, feelings, discomforts and ways of being that each person wishes to hold — inviting deep dialogue even in a short session.
REASON 02
Inspiration that widens perspectives and ideas
“Talking about values and personal views might be difficult for our people…”
There is no need to worry. With the cards as inspiration, perspectives widen naturally and anyone can enjoy the dialogue. The cards draw on fields ranging from ecology to Eastern philosophy and organizational psychology — yet no specialist knowledge is required.
REASON 03
Bringing the structures behind culture and relationships into the foreground
The Words of Suiten brings the structures beneath modern society and organizations into the foreground, focusing on the challenges that may arise and the forces that generate them. Each seed then offers a tip for facing or moving through that situation, with examples that let you imagine what may emerge.
With the cards as a clue, teams can put into words the structures, factors and forces at work in their own organization, and search for the structural acupuncture points for meeting them.
