April 9 — Systemic Investing: A Deeper Inquiry
Join us in an intimate setting at Waves Coffee House in Vancouver. This next gathering calls those who want to explore what becomes possible when we look beyond funding isolated interventions and resource the conditions that allow whole systems to thrive.
This next conversation invites deeper inquiry into systemic investing as an evolving practice, one rooted in relationship, place, patience, and shared learning.
Through thoughtful dialogue, small-group exchange, and curated resources, we will continue asking the questions that matter most, not to resolve them all at once, but to deepen our understanding together.
April 2 — Conversation Café (Impact for Breakfast)
An initial gathering to explore systemic investing through dialogue, reflection, and shared experience.
Spring 2026 — Fraser Lowland System Exploration
We are initiating a participatory process to explore the Fraser Lowland as a living system.
This includes:
Metachrysalis System Transformation Games
Participatory sessions that help make system dynamics visible, surfacing pressures, relationships, and leverage points for change. Separate urban and rural sessions allow us to explore how different parts of the bioregion experience and shape the system.
These sessions are being conducted within a small, localized subsection of the Fraser Lowland as an initial experiment. The goal is to test how this approach can surface meaningful insights and relationships, and to learn what it would take to apply and scale this work more broadly across the bioregion.
Participatory Bioregional Mapping Workshops
Mapping people, projects, ecosystems, and relationships in the same urban and rural parts of the region we will play the Metachrysalis game.
Together, these sessions aim to:
- build a shared understanding of the system
- surface key opportunities and constraints
- connect practitioners, communities, and funders
- begin identifying pathways for coordinated action
This is an early-stage exploration, not a fixed program.
