“Dynamic Universal Systems” is rooted in Gregory Bateson’s quest to uncover the “Pattern that Connects”. Students will delve into the dynamic architecture of a whole-system model that reveals a universal Pattern that links the core and context of all living systems. Students will gain insights into how the First Principles of this System of systems govern not only individual lives, natural living systems, but the lifelike systems we co-create — ranging from relationships and families to communities and civilizations. In this program, students will revision their awareness of what defines fundamentals, discovering the true meaning of ‘whole-istic’ health that foster well-being. Opening a new understanding of coherence, students will be inspired and renewed through deep dialogue as remote learning and in-person experiences open wisdom. Through intentionally sequential courses, participants will explore how one’s core values regenerate the context of their personal vision.

About The Mereon Academy
The Mereon Legacy CIC was established in 2013 to disseminate the knowledge and insight gained from a comprehensive 30-year investigation into a dynamic universal framework known as the Mereon Matrix. This system offers a theoretical model and experimental data that reveals how a diversity of forms drives complex interactions in natural systems, including human behavior and societal structures. It reveals the simple Pattern that connects form, function, and interactions and governs the flow. The primary goal of sharing this knowledge is to enable individuals and groups to grow and evolve from inside out, “InPowering”, and “InLightening”. This knowledge reveals a sequential progression of growth that promotes an intrinsic sense of well-being. Courses reveal how harnessing both personal and collective wisdom is essential for sustainable growth.
The programs offered by The Mereon Academy provide experiential learning opportunities, along with practical tools for decision-making. The underlying premise is that self-informed, intentional choices significantly influence and increase the quality of one’s life. By emphasizing authenticity, participants are guided to foster intentional co-operation, thereby leveraging both innate and acquired competencies. This facilitates the creation of healthy, interdependent, and sustainable relationships.

The thesis or dissertation must demonstrate excellence at every level. It must show awareness of the history of the literature in your particular area; demonstrate careful analysis and understanding of the field in question; and, most importantly, show how your insight can be applied to the real world. The dissertation must be scholarly and utilize extensive bibliographical data and footnotes. It should, in other words, be an impeccable work of research.
