Foundational Principles
Our events are designed to learn from each other and to bring regenerative disturbance into the wider cultural field. The aim is an emergent enquiry into diverse ways of nurturing collective resilience, bridging divides, unlearning unhelpful patterns and encouraging resourceful creativity and adaptation as we face into stormy times.
-
The book began as a conversation, and we strive to maintain that spirit in the events. As an underlying principle, we want to disrupt the celebration of the lone heroic thinker or “expert” and aim to create the conditions for interdisciplinary co-generation of meaning making in the context of relationships.
-
All events will address the book's main themes in an integrated way instead of taking one theme out of context or breaking themes down into component parts and addressing them one at a time.
Climate Change and the Imagination
A two-part dialogue exploring how climate change features in the imagination and how we might imagine ways to address contemporary ecological and social challenges. We will ask a number of questions: Is the climate crisis also an aesthetic crisis? Are we suffering from a scourge of literalism and technocratic idolatry? How might poetry, the imagination and myths help us make sense of our contemporary situation and challenges?
Ecology and the Imagination
In this short intensive course we will study myth, story, poetry, image-making and philosophy as an interconnected whole that can nourish, ground and power our imaginations to become a force for goodness, justice, truth and beauty in the world.
