H3Uni, an educational charity, offers purposeful people and groups powerful methods to access, activate and enliven their innate collaborative wisdom, that will help us to navigate the deepening uncertainties of the 21st century.
We live in a new era of physical, biological, chemical and climatic change known as the Anthropocene. Changes are happening now faster than in any previous era known to science, with ecological, societal, political and economic effects that challenge the viability of our current ways of life.
Human cleverness, though apparently beneficial, has led to the Anthropocene, and cannot contain its momentum, let alone reverse it. We believe it is urgent to be both clever and wise so we can collectively create a sustainable way forward, repatterning living activities in collaboration (not contest) with nature.
How to cultivate wisdom?
A quest for wisdom draws upon three vital sources of learning-in-action:
- personal authenticity and engagement
- common purpose, encompassing complexity and context
- the collective integrity of combined collaborative skills.
To help and sustain people like yourself in meeting and fulfilling these difficult demands, H3Uni offers a suite of systemic methods for transformative repatterning towards a worthwhile future.
A Concert of Methods
H3Uni’s five core methods provide a basis for revealing systemic connections and possible holistic ways forward from a deeper appreciation of the whole that integrates apparent contradictions such as the following:
- The nature of things independent of us, that which is impersonal, is true
- The meaning we bestow on the nature of things, that which is most personal, is true.
Three Horizons – engage others in reconceiving your future and discovering enrichment of purpose

Four dimensions for a Field of Growth
H3Uni is growing in four complementary dimensions:
A Research Colloquium that encourages you to cultivate wonder, thought, intelligence and understanding
A Resource Library you can access and add to, with accumulating methods for collaborative insights and systemic change
A Virtual Campus of creative conversations in generative human dialogue that you can attend
A Faculty of Learning which teaches methods and explores and develops practice. Participants develop their personal and collaborative agency
