Bringing together the creator of art-based perceptual ecology (ABPE) and a practitioner of Appreciative Inquiry, this paper explores art-making as a mode of inquiry – a path to a multispecies and relational dialogue. Through reflections on embodied knowing and sensory experience with the land, we share how ABPE methodology might offer a richer understanding of whole systems and transformative change.

This is the story of OD for Life, an emerging movement within the field of Organisational Development. It is a story of appreciation, inquiry and stewardship; of being guided by life’s principles; and of imagining a future where the explicit purpose of OD is to cultivate a more thrivable world.
这是一个关于OD for Life的故事,这是组织发展领域内的一个新兴运动。这是一个关于欣赏、探究和管理的故事;被生活的原则所指引;想象一个未来,OD的明确目的是培养一个更繁荣的世界。

After fifty years of top-down international negotiations, our climate and biodiversity crisis is worse than when these talks began. This story argues for a bottom-up movement that connects our professional skills to the challenge of deep change and tells how The Climate Action Sprint helps people get unstuck and take action, using a combination of Appreciative Inquiry, action research and prototyping to test out new professional behaviours.

How might we make space for the natural world to accompany us in our working lives when so much takes place at a distance from nature? This glimpse takes place within a day-to-day learning setting. The practice described is about cultivating a sense of our own wildness via ‘wilding moments’ – invited in through improvised moments of poetry, presence and pause.

The challenges we see in the world today are bound to a dominant narrative of growth, extraction, consumption and disconnection. An alternative narrative of nature-led progress is emerging around the world, but the work to grow it can be difficult and exhausting. This piece describes three areas of work where Appreciative Inquiry can help us grow this necessary movement: 1) creating goals and frames that inspire us to work as whole systems; 2) facilitating processes that connect, support, and inspire new stories; and 3) crafting a culture of care in the work of transformation.

This article considers my attempts to build capacity for holding together the bleak facts of our emerging climate crisis with hopeful-anyway responses linked to the following four personal practices: i) expanding what it means to ‘know with others’; ii) accepting the need to mourn; iii) respecting the power of artful expression; and iv) recalibrating our practices of hope.

What if we choose, even more radically, to place all of life – including the more-than-human world – at the centre of everything we do? What might it look like if we made more space for non-human voices? How can work more explicitly with and in nature? In the introduction to this issue, Joeri Kabalt draws inspiration from Rachel Carson as both an environmental activist and advocate for wonder, beauty and mystery, and introduces the main themes and questions of this special issue.
