Our experience has made the importance of reflection in systems change work abundantly clear. It is a core value and critical practice in our efforts to build systems in which everyone can thrive. By intentionally slowing down to reflect, we can improve the quality of our decision-making, gain a greater understanding of the complexity of the issues we are working on, expand our worldviews, and open up possibilities for healing.
We also recognize that reflection is often undervalued in our dominant culture, causing us to struggle with cultivating, integrating, and/or sustaining reflective practices in our lives, with our teams, and within our systems. Thus, we have created a Reflection Toolkit in an effort to support change-makers in their efforts to create more equitable systems.
