HAPPEN - A true story by Cocoon Pro
Happen is the true story of a journey lived and felt by Cocoon Pro. Marking the shift of decade, and the deep turmoil that has come with it for all of us, Happen is the journey of transformation of the very concept of work, with its practices, structures, culture. It is a journey from a mechanistic understanding of the world to an organic one, and it is a journey from a focus on tools and structures to people’s worldviews, beliefs and growth.
It is a journey of courage and creativity, in which people learn how to free themselves from the old thinking constraints and fully live work as a key part of life, with happiness as their vital guidance. In fact, the full potential of any organization “happens” together with that of people, allowing performance itself to trascend its previous limits. And yet, the mechanistic and ego-driven worldview strongly defends itself and the systems it has generated. And it originates foundational challenges.
After a decade of preparation, the moment to overcome this conflict has arrived. Times are ripe. We might well be the people we have been waiting for, and we might well have been preparing for this work for the previous 10 years.
Impact Networks: Creating Change in a Complex World
Impact Networks: Creating Change in a Complex World illuminates how purpose-driven networks create lasting change by embracing interdependence and generating impact through collaboration.
This film explores the patterns impact networks follow to accelerate learning and collaboration leading to social and environmental change. We hear the voices of six accomplished network leaders behind some of the most successful large-scale collaborative efforts around the globe—from land stewardship to migrant rights. Their stories reveal that although every impact network is unique in its focus and composition, all are remarkably similar in their approach.
Drawing on the wisdom of nature and embracing a living-systems approach to organizing, impact networks span regions, organizations, and silos of all kinds. They bring people together to build relationships across boundaries, leverage the work, skills, and motivations of the group, and make progress amid unpredictable and ever-changing conditions. Given the increasing complexity of the issues we face as a society, our ability to form, grow, and work through networks has never been more essential.

Pathway for the Evolution of Work | Stelio Verzera on Skills for Mars
What has work been? What is work now? What could work look like? Control to Integration, Telling to Learning, Competing to Cooperating, Silos to Coalescence.

This conversation takes us to many places – from anti-fragility to surfing emergence and rediscovering ourselves. We look at technology, polycentricity and sense-making. We talk about the future, how the world of work will move from control to integration, from telling to learning, from competing to cooperating, from silos to coalescence across boundaries. images and interviews.
The Art of Life
As a rising star in the field of abstract mathematics, Michael discovered that he could see beauty and pattern where others could not. But his path was not to be inside academia, or even inside society. He went on a grand adventure to unify his Buddhism with his ability to see an expanded view of reality.
He created beauty in a place where nobody else would, and made his friends amongst dolphins. Michael lives in the middle of a thick jungle, 20 minutes walking from the road in a plot of land he cleared himself. …by hand!!!
The house has no inside running water, only a shower outside and no electricity. He recently bought a small solar panel so he can continue his research and communicate via his computer with other mathematicians and the world. In that jungle mosquitos are so ferocious (ALL day and night) that the only temporary relief is to take a shower outside and run around to get dry…
