What is a social tipping point?

Just as climate scientists discuss tipping points in biophysical systems, social scientists describe tipping points in social systems. Pressure can build up beneath the surface, and over time, create cracks and fissures that trigger cascading changes that lead, often irreversibly, to a new steady state.

Social tipping points are these movements and moments in dynamic systems where large-volume, small changes trigger an abrupt, irreversible change in a social system.

We are creating tipping points that transcend business-as-usual thinking within its infinite growth paradigm, mechanistic and reductionistic methods, techno-solutionist approaches riddled with hubris and greenwashing & myopic, disconnected narratives that are lacking contextual and collective relevance.

Tipping points are social processes that involve drastic changes in both individual and collective behaviors, as well as in institutional settings.

The latter can include changes in governance, legal and economic arrangements, as well as long-term effects on social norms and values.

PROJECT TIPPING POINT is a pioneering self-paced journey, community and movement that is bringing into the world:

  1. Raw and truthful conversations with a global community to about how we feel about the state of the world, our current system and its symptomatic expressions of dominant thought patterns and action and the steps to shift;

  2. Brave spaces where it is okay to not to know the answers and to swim in the liminal leadership questions of our transitionary times;

  3. Courage, support AND accountability structures to actually transform our worldviews, lives and organizations alongside the safety of large numbers of others doing so and to explore our ideas and initiatives with brilliant people;

  4. Pragmatic step-by-step action, strategies and accountability for us to begin a redistribution of our efforts and skillsets into a more beautiful world rooted in authentic regenerative, beautiful, post-growth futures as we decompose the existing system.

2024 in 2024

Our aim in the year 2024 is to gather 2024 people from around the world to equip them with the supportive and intimate community, worldview, skills and steps to seed societal tipping points while taking on-the-ground actions that create regenerative, beautiful, post-growth futures.

How does it work?

There will be assigned cohorts of community members, split into focal groups with accountability structures that seed this powerful movement into actionable waves that ramp us collectively closer to global societal tipping points.

Key parts of this initiative are:

  • A message from the Kogi Mamos of Colombia;

  • Self-paced course with exclusive content;

  • Office hours led by our guides and wisdom keepers;

  • Assigned, subject-based group-breakout calls;

  • Diversified research and intersectional resources with case studies and examples of how to enact tipping points on multiple levels;

  • Media library of infographics and images to use on LinkedIn and other social networks with a united thread and narrative;

  • Post-growth business frameworks and alternative KPIs;

  • Step-by-step individual and collective action-plans;

  • Global bioregional community hubs formation for localized action with global contextual relevance;

  • Accountability structures in place to ensure that these movements are truly taking root, not in concept alone but in action!
