“Looby Macnamara speaks with luminous clarity, lean eloquence and an exquisite knowledge of systems. Her opening chapters on ‘thinking like an ecosystem’ should be required reading in every classroom from third grade to graduate school.”
Joanna Macy, author, originator and teacher of The Work That Reconnects“The gift Looby has brought is her profound ability to pull the threads of design spirit out of everyone and make us realise ‘I can’. She shows all of us, including me, how we can be more effective in redreaming and regenerating our world in a truly beautiful way.”
Jon Young, founder of the 8 Shields Institute
