'The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between

how nature works and the way people think.'

Gregory Bateson

At Studio Imaginal, we embrace ‘living the questions together’ (Wahl, 2020) as our guiding approach to co-create regenerative cultures. In times of profound ecological and social change, we are dedicated to fostering human and planetary well-being. We believe thriving futures are built through deep connections, resilience, and a commitment to learning and unlearning.

We invite collaborators, visionaries, and allies to join us in this journey of exploration, dialogue, and co-creation. Together, we are shaping a world that values humanity and the planet’s health, rooted in empathy, resilience, and continuous learning. By nurturing relationships and weaving networks of care, we’re co-designing a world that flourishes in diversity, adaptability, and the vitality of the ecosystems we call home.

In constant evolution, we exist to cultivate the conditions for flourishing.

Guiding Principles

Through a grounding in action research and systemic approaches, we bring:

A relational, trans-contextual, trans-national and intercultural perspective to enable us to ask better questions, see the connections and expand the spectrum of possibilities.
A focus on the larger patterns, looking at things from different angles and a broad multi-disciplinary perspective.
A capacity to understand and respond to interdependency.
An understanding of and attention to the relationship/spaces between individuals and organisations in an ecosystem – where they touch, reciprocal/intercultural exchange and co-created learning – the alive in-betweenness.
A recognition of the contextual/trans-contextual and relational processes that the future depends upon.
An embracing of paradox, diversity, uncertainty, and ambiguity.
An embracing of different ways of knowing; valuing insights from indigenous wisdom to scientific inquiry, fostering holistic understanding in a complex world.
A humility that we are working in complex, dynamic and adaptive systems that are fundamentally unpredictable and uncontrollable.
A recognition that regeneration is a core impulse of life itself.
A readiness to show up and do what needs to be done.

'Maybe it's not really possible to 'make' change in living systems,

maybe the change makes itself. Maybe it's better to think about making

a space for systemic combining to re-combine.'
