What a year: Worldwide, we’ve all shared common experiences with COVID. For the first time, it is clear we are all interdependent, interlinked and entangled.
ow? can we nurture holistic system change in the world? can we open to nature and collective wisdom? are mind, heart, body and spirit engaged in our work? do we inspire coherent action for transformational outcomes? do we experience and approach...
Planetary scale crises—climate, injustice, inequity, plagues—are creating great instability.
Yet, the very pressures of these issues may help us to grow up, individually and culturally, to be sufficient for the challenges that we’re facing.
Rythym, randomness and healing with, and through, our deeper interconnections. Aligning with our wider world its chaos and patterns .
Being fully present, sustaining ourselves while engaging with climate crises, is radical.
We’re called to be part of a profound shift, one underway within and around us all and there are some tools that can support us.
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*
My world has become both small and expansive. It’s contracted to a room with a view of the kosmos. Yet the paradox is it does not feel small.
Sources of inspiration are all around us echoing through the generations and our ancestors. Valerie Kaur connects this with our collective memories and enabling hope.
Revolutionary certainly. Overall she frames this as Revolutionary Love in practical embodied steps.
Simple please, not simplistic.
Easily said but hard to do in our complex world. Music, poetry, pictures can all help the narratives. Enjoy these short videos!
A heart-rending story. Just beautiful. From faith and spiritual tools turning to dust to help—not only to survive but to come alive again.
We co-produce our present-futures.
Antony’s quantum cloud sculpture is particles and trajectories. You determine what you see and, similarly, are a co-producer of possible futures.
There’s never been a moment in time when we’ve been so place-based and yet so connected globally. Join Gaia Journey and the Nyungar Aboriginal Australia elders in learning from the past for the present, connected answers.
Re-integration of mind and matter is addressing our social and environmental in-balances. Peter Senge and Otto Sharamer layout this essential shift. It is underway and this change is putting us back together! Our experience, in the modern world, is to make sense of what we see but not include our own feelings and vulnerabilities in that sense-making.
How do we empower people to see the transformations that are right in front of us? In addressing climate and corona and other crises, we’ve got many great examples. Scaling them means understanding our blindspots, being a little aware of our inbuilt biases.
We have turned the world, more or less, upside down in five minutes. There’s a silver lining to this in rediscovering vulnerability, connection and friendship.
Alain and James lift much weight from our souls in this beautiful short interview.
“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.
