Introduction to Emergent Learning with Heidi Sparkes Gruber

In this Living Organisations Lab, Heidi Sparkes Guber will be offering a practical and participatory session in Emergent Learning, a collective learning discipline that leads to greater individual and team agency while increasing our capacity for transforming the worlds in which we live. This session will include a brief introduction to Emergent Learning, a practical exercise and group reflection.

Heidi Sparkes Gruber is a perpetual student of the human spirit who has devoted her life to traversing diverse cultures and learning universal languages that move participants to connect generatively, discover deep coherence and move powerfully into transformative action. She has studied and worked with some of the greatest living teachers and practiced some of our most sacred traditions while applying the wisdom gained in organizational and community initiatives.

Heidi has worked extensively in the fields of organizational learning and transformational leadership with global corporations in the US, Europe and Asia, as well as with governmental agencies, foundations and non-profits. Since 2010, she has dedicated her practice to vital mission organizations and cross-sector social change, specializing in Emergent Learning – a collective learning practice that leads to greater impact and wellbeing, as well as to greater individual and collective agency and capacity for transforming the world in which we live.

Her clients have included Living Cities, a social innovation consortium of the top 22 financial institutions and foundations in the US, and The Learning Alliance in a public-private partnership that has been catalyzing the Moonshot Movement, a national award-winning breakthrough in early literacy for the children of Indian River County, Florida.  Heidi is currently serving as designer and facilitator for the Deep and Rapid Transformation initiative of the SDG Thought Leaders Circle..

Heidi is co-author of Emergent Learning: A Framework for Whole-System Strategy, Learning, and Adaptation, with over 19,000 downloads worldwide since first published in the Foundation Review in 2016.  She is also co-author of A Whole Greater than Its Parts, a muti-year research project on the role of emergence in complex social change
