Abstract: Abstract In this article you will be invited into the transformational nature of the re-authoring lens and practices for organisational work. Re-authoring work facilitates ways of seeing and doing that invites individuals, communities and organisations to take back the pen in the authoring of their lives and their worlds. It builds on the human capacity to weave meaning into narratives in our given world. As we do this work, the beauty, dignity and knowledges of individuals and communities are deeply honoured. You will be taken on a journey through the theory and practices in three examples that show how collective meaning-making, deconstruction of societal discourses, and the imagining of futures and human dignity open magical doors into unknown worlds. Re-authoring work opens up new possibilities and imagined futures wherein human beings co-author their relationships with all things of the world.
