About this content
Our world is changing. Our thinking patterns are shifting. To answer our pressing emergencies and, fortuitously, engaging in this brings an aliveness like nothing else.
We’re a worldwide civilisation now and can consciously engage in creating thriving, just, sustainable futures for everyone. Yet, sometimes, this seems like a very lonely path…
We hope this site helps us all accelerate positive shifts. Amplification, re-storying and sharing awe…

Re-creating relatedness: a meta shift
In the crises around us we are the problems and also the solutions. That’s a thinking pattern shift. From individual to collective.
How can we assist this for thriving in the hear and now as well as the future?
An initiation: and a koan

Our shared memories, deep and seemingly historic memories are powerful. In creating positive change more potent, we’re more potent, than we think.

The Commons: Next economies, politics and culture
Economic commons activities—there are many more already than you think!

The new possible: opportunity now beyond cirsis
We are in the midst of a major evolutionary leap. A dramatic increase in cooperation is possible.

Transgressive: next systems and thinking patterns
You, I, we are breaking the social norms. In seeking solutions to global crises we’re creating new thinking patterns.
Our crises are not solved with the same level of thinking that created them—we’re going beyond the conventional patterns here.

Make haste – slowly, powerfully, minimally
“Hasten slowly” said Augustus. Oh, this is hard. To imagine what can be created, to hold back, to act; to engage means delving into both despair and hope. That’s where we’re challenged to see the powerful in what we do which is always minimal and micro. Feeling adequate in the face of manifest inadequacy. Weaving together the pieces that hasten, slowly and steadily, benevolution.
