Our answers rely on collaborative solutions. We are more than, just, individuals. Such ideas are transgressive—we’re not used to thinking about ourselves as individuals AND parts of a whole.
Lynette Thorstensen and Sushant Shrestha, in this presentation, part of a Transformative Climate Advocacy program session, showcase the power of a diversity of perspectives, people and approaches.
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?
A koan is a dilemma, a mystery which the rational mind cannot solve—our global village.
We are part of the world. Yet, how can we be initiated into caring for everything? Even knowing we’re connected to it all.
We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are yet, in our pandemic we’ve been gifted connection to our ever-changing world. It’s a bridge to see beyond how we are.
Breath into February in this post.
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…
Our future, ourselves, our planet and our stories, it’s all entangled ― Festina LentÍvaldi*
A single person matters? For climate answers? That’s a paradox and wisdom from shifting our perspectives, understanding we’re connected helps.

Economic commons activities—there are many more already than you think!
These are initiatives that are socially driven. Risks and benefits are shared mutually. We avoid costly overheads and dominating hierarchies.
We are in the midst of a major evolutionary leap. A dramatic increase in cooperation is possible.
Colaboration for climate, covid, injustice and inequality answers is essential. The New Possible showcases success.
You, I, we are breaking the social norms. In seeking solutions to global crises we’re creating new thinking patterns.
