LivingWeb Consulting

Welcome to the online site for ideas about living systems and environmental sustainability from an ecological anthropology perspective centered on the work of Gregory Bateson, emphasizing self-organization  or (emergence), and biomimicry.

It took four billion years for life to evolve into the delicate but resilient web of living systems that cling to the rim our planet. This living matter is distinguished from non-living matter by its inherent tendency to self-organize, or to dynamically and innovatively make complex order out of disorder.

LivingWeb Consulting is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the ecosemiotic diversity of life on earth and resolving pressing environmental dilemmas such as global climate change by enhancing this self-organizational tendency in the living system that is modern Western culture. We focus on propagating an ecological epistemology in modern society and fostering a biomimicry model for organizations, which emphasizes diverse stakeholder feedback and collaborative learning to enhance collective intelligence.
