I shared the link for this with the Kinship Way, an invitation to an Indigenous framework for all peoples to participate in such a mycelial network. It provides a structure based on 12 kinship groups in fractals of community, watersheds, bioregions, continents, earth. The 12 kinship groups, inclusive of all people in all lands, being representatives of the 3 realms of the biosphere: air, water and land and the 4 layers of the medicine wheel: birth, growth, maturity and death (the composting for the new). My exploration of 12 led me to understand 12 as being the minimal viable number of group for distributing and integrating care of earth and each other in both even and odd groups; and to see 12 as the completeness of stacking sphere's all connected equally to each other and to a central 13th sphere (shared principle, values, purpose); and 12 being the minimal 6 pairs of tensions needed for dynamic equilibrium. I found 12 represented in many many ways in culture, digital art, faith and science all over the world. Buckminster fuller represents 12 in his 3 and 4 dimensional 'vector equilibrium', a shape with 12 vertices. While I have been learning about and contemplating 12 for some time, and it's meaning for the evolution of humanity and or urgent need for 'unprecedented collaboration', I have not heard such a beautiful explanation of the purpose of human mycelial itself before this.

As we mirror the patterns of nature we can see that more decentralization, agency, uniqueness and creativity emerge. Thank you for the acknowledgment, we are in the journey of unlearning together… and meanwhile…in flow we trust!
It is that re membering that i am beginning to observe. It is unseen and un reported. As it has to be, in order for it to be fertilised. I wonder, just what languages we bring to bear as catalyst. This is something that we cannot contrive nor manufacture. This is something that only the individual can initiate (each of us ‘humans’ interpreting our world uniquely). What is it to be human.? We exist as a part of, not divided from nature. And what is it that we are yearning for IN OUR NATURE? Problem is, simplicity. And for a species that is habituated to complicating our existence…it is too simple xxx
Hi Benjamin. Fascinated by the topic of how organizations can learn from nature. Read your article with excitement. I am exploring the topic now through the fluidity of water. How do we as orgs and individuals recover the inherent fluidity. Would be curious if you have any thoughts on this. Here are some of mine https://open.substack.com/pub/yuliabogdanova/p/teach-me-about-fluidity-water-part?r=18luu7&utm_medium=ios
Wonderful read and beautifully written.
Thank you 🙏

Thank you, so resonant
