We offer systems sensing (Ritter & Zamierowski, 2021) as a practice to foster transformative leadership culture and partnership across sectors and places. Systems sensing can be understood as including a visceral aptitude involving the felt senses, intuition, and emotions that draw on innate human capacities for being in relation with, listening deeply to, and momentarily embodying systems elements. The participatory inquiry-based practice widens ways we know and enhances and builds individual and collective capacities to become sensitive to underlying patterns, acknowledge and be with what is, and better relate to ourselves, each other, and the wider context we share.
