Perspectiva
Jan 4th, 2021
A wide ranging conversation loosely based on Bonnitta Roy’s article ‘Corona: A tale of two systems’ on the Emerge website, which she calls a ‘holifesto’ or a holistic manifesto.
Jonathan Rowson queried the article, offered some possible criticism, and Bonnitta responded brilliantly. It was a wonderful conversation and a great pleasure to be in the presence of these great soulful intellects and systems thinkers’.
