All over the world, it feels like we are at the threshold of something new. What do we do with this moment?
Join us as we come together to explore the processes of decay and decomposition that are essential to the stability and strength of our community.
Along with diverse thought leaders and life travelers we will gather to question, to deconstruct and resculpt, to recollect, to reflect, to renew and regenerate ourselves to take that step into our brave new world.
We look forward to spending time in solitude and in community, being still and listening to the rhythm and knowledge that allows for the unknown to emerge.
What is 'Emergent' in Emergent Future?
Emergent as a new idea that emerges in community and through dialogue that is far bigger that the sum of the people talking could ever hope to generate.
Emergent as a thought that is already inside us and finding space, through reflection/introspection/inspiration in the five days to allow it to blossom.
Emergent as a place where we're stuck as the edge and through collective seeking mourning and shared hope for the new to emerge.
Emergent as connecting with what is already there and what is absent, to allow for new and more collective solutions to take shape.
At this gathering, the intention is to bring as diverse and vibrant a group together, to engage in different ways. Each one of us has something to say, and much to listen to. Days will be structured around our themes of Community, Stability and Decay, but speakers and formats will evolve in a collaborative process aimed to glean as much from the voices in the room as possible, and in as inventive ways as we can. So come with ideas and things to say, a space to allow for the unknown to emerge and an openness to be surprised, and to hear and learn things you didn't expect to!
