Welcome to the PatternDynamics™ community!
We are currently in the early stages of our development, but don't let that stop you from getting involved!
First and foremost PatternDynamics™ is about our community of practice. A community of practice is a group of people who have often widely different backgrounds, careers and roles in life, but who all participate in a shared interest. Our shared interest is in creating cultures of sustainability through learning and spreading nature's design principles.
Our community of practice is open to everyone and your participation can extend from using PatternDynamics™ in your own life, to sharing it with your friends, attending or organizing a not-for-profit workshop, undertaking training programs, introducing it to your organization, or becoming accredited to license PatternDyanamics™ in your own sustainability work.
Current ways to participate:
- follow the blog posts on this page.
- contact us about PatternDynamics™ training programs for your organization.
- join our email update list for resource notifications and developments.
- check the web site home page for latest news.
- attend a PatternDynamics™ workshop.
- download the PatternDyanmics™ chart.
- learn to observe and work with the patterns in your life and work.

Getting Started with PatternDynamics™ |
|
PatternDynamics™ is based on a few simple premises:
- Natural systems demonstrate the principles of sustainability.
- Most people can learn these principles easily.
- Cultures of sustainability may be created by helping people learn nature's design principles.
Natural Principles
Natural systems have endured on planet earth for hundreds of millions of years—this is a very good track record in sustainability. Nature accomplishes this feat by following some basic patterns of organization or what we can think of as general design patterns. These design patterns are the principles of sustainability. That is, if we learn these design patterns and how to apply them as principles, we may make human systems as sustainable as natural systems.
