This editorial of the Journal of Awareness-based Systems Change delves into the complex entanglements of our inner and outer worlds. We delve into the nuances of feeling overwhelmed, and fatigued due to our deep, visceral connections with global events. Central to our narrative is the recognition of the intricate web of relationships that underpin all systemic change efforts. Through a lens of decolonialization and Awareness-Based Systems Change, we explore the necessity of reevaluating and transforming these connections. The editorial underscores the urgency of mending and honoring these relationships, emphasizing their role in reshaping our systems. We advocate for a holistic approach that includes affective, relational, and intellectual work, aiming to transcend traditional boundaries and foster a more interconnected and empathetic world. This editorial is a call to action for conscious engagement, inviting readers to participate in collective purpose-shaping and world-making, transforming vulnerabilities into a collective strength for systemic renewalReferences
