Revisiting the “Leap”: what does it require of us? With Jon Freeman

In this SDi Foundation Salon, Jon Freeman revisits the concept of “the Leap” through the lens of the Graves model and Spiral Dynamics, bringing these foundations into dialogue with developments in psychology, systems thinking, complexity, and emerging perspectives on reality. Against the backdrop of increasing global instability and polycrisis, Jon explores what genuine transformation may require of us today—individually and collectively. Topics include the relationship between Tier 1 and Tier 2, the Gamma Trap, reframing, paradox, nonlinearity, whole-system awareness, the shift from control to flow, and the simultaneous need for Yellow and Turquoise capacities. About Jon Freeman Jon Freeman has been engaged with the Graves model since meeting Don Beck in 2006 and has worked as a Spiral Dynamics trainer since 2010. His work spans organizational and individual development and explores the intersection of developmental theory, systems thinking, psychology, spirituality, and human transformation.
