It's a Social Enterprise, and a social experiment.
It's an experiment in the power of design thinking, cultural insight and ecological literacy to address our common core needs at a dangerous—and transformative—time of human history. We know, for example, that climate resilience and more meaningful lives can be made with the same work. The practices we want to share with you—gleaned from the fields of living design theory, systems change, regenerative design, cultural studies, and cultural evolution—are capable of this kind of holistic, integrated transformation. Can we go ever deeper and design, in this way, for the unfold of human potential, in the same process as taking ecological responsibility?
It's an experiment in finding our unique human paths into a future of great unknowns. To uncover our sense of agency, develop our regenerative capacities, navigate complexity, and create true and beautiful responses to hard questions.
And if this can happen, can our collective care, our design intelligence and our human grace find a path to resilient community, in the face of climate change and other deep stressors? A path to true regeneration of watersheds, forests, oceans and coasts? Can we contribute to the generation of more beautiful, more sane, more humane culture?
In the end, it's a journey of discovery. We don't know what we'll find, but we're committed to going.
You are invited to come along.
