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?
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…

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

Without harm and without fear;
Rise up on the peaceful arc,
As a young queen in bloom.

Samhain: A halloween festival of change
We have gotten it all wrong. I-you-us, in our ability to matter and to make a significant difference for ourselves, for the crises around us, are not stuck in our ways.
Rainbows: our hearts leap up
My heart leaps up
So often, so true—I can feel these rainbows and waterfalls, from 2 continents, living inside me, lighting me up and connecting me beyond myself.

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.
