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…

Chalanais
Settle down in the sea of destruction,
Without harm and without fear;
Rise up on the peaceful arc,
As a young queen in bloom.
Sunset and sunrise at Chalanais through the solstice.
Standstill: our 12 day solstice
Please come along on this walk, a virtual walk along four paths, the physical, then collective systems, feelings and shared cultures.
And then there’s a fifth path, the path of the solstice, a standstill, it has been this way for all of our lifetimes and for millennia. A gift of our times, this year, is we are closer to these supportive memories.

Journey to the end of the universe: Laugavegur
From Skogar by foot: along a mind-boggling series of waterfalls, between glaciers, over volcanoes, across braided glacier melt rivers and through into sulfurous lunar Landmannalaugar.
Come with me across this field
Wherever you are
is called here.
So now the ears of my ears
awake.
My feet encounter
the soft forest floor.

Behold: The sky is on fire
You turn up your face, back bent,
arms outstretched, so that if the sky
scoops you up, you will be ready to be lifted.
…
From this moment on,
you regret nothing.

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.
