Following the scaling deep webinar last year, SASS Collective have collaborated with Systems Sanctuary to bring Tatiana Fraser to Aotearoa, New Zealand, to share her Scaling Deep research through a masterclass and two wānanga in Tamaki Makaurau and Ōtautahi this May.
All three events this month sold out rapidly, which speaks to the desire for change from prevailing models of social innovation which have long been fixated on expansion, competition, and measurable growth.
The masterclass session offers a practical introduction to systems practice, blending theory with hands-on application. Participants will explore key tools and frameworks, engage in peer learning, and connect with fellow changemakers in a thoughtful, interactive space.
The Scaling Deep Wānanga events are gatherings of systems leaders, changemakers, and community practitioners who believe that real transformation is slow, relational, and culturally grounded. Together, participants will explore how deep personal, organisational, and cultural shifts create the foundation for durable, systemic change.
At the heart of both sessions is the art of Scaling Deep—moving beyond the dominant focus on “scaling up” and “scaling out” toward transformation that is rooted in relationships, collaboration, and long-term cultural shifts. Systems change isn’t just about rapid expansion or quick wins; it requires deep personal reflection, collective healing, and contextually grounded action.
We look forward to reporting back on these hui and how these concepts sit within the context of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
