Synchronicity
How are you awake?
When I was watching the Foundation episode, “Mysteries and Martyrs,” I felt a profound sense of resonance with the character Gaal as she realizes that she is sensing the future before it actually happens.

The Art of Noticing
The art of noticing is in contrast to paying attention. It is an approach for a wholistic human experience—perception, cognition, emotion, and action—that reorients time, energy, and resources toward what really matters.
Design
Rapid Prototyping
What we learned about rapid prototyping from Tom Chi was the importance of working with actuals rather than conjectures. Guessing will not take us very far. We actually need to build something tangible to test whether something will work or not.
Journalism
World Builders
Movement journalism creates a process that centers the people who are most targeted and oppressed—centers their collective solutions and strategies for survival and social change.

Podcast Trailer
Design for resilience begins with an inward journey into who we are as human beings and thinking carefully about the future that we build for the generations to come. Join us as we explore how we imagine, design, and build the future together.
Culture
Invitation of Love
When the Western world accepted Christianity, Caesar conquered; and the received text of Western theology was edited by his lawyers.… The brief Galilean vision of humility flickered throughout the ages, uncertainly.
Flow
Group Flow State
Together, we weave worlds. Through consciousness, we create worlds by accessing memory and projecting possibilities into the future.
Storytelling
Storytelling as a Prototype of the Future
In the Design Science Studio, we learned about world building and backcasting as a means of imagining the future and working backwards from that imagined world to think through the steps that we could go through to bring that imagined world into reality.
Collaboration
Stop Reset Go
We are a growing collective of change agents who are co-creating an open, digital framework for the commons to effectively share resources to build the future of humanity.
Imagination
Mythopoeia
What if we could imagine a future together through collaborative storytelling? What if we could go beyond imagination to engage in the process of design to prototype and build the world that we had imagined?
Imagine
Imagine
A balance between individual rights and collective responsibilities is achieved by understanding the interdependence and interconnections of human relationships, called social tensegrity, based on an equilibrium between entropy and syntropy.
Design
We are all designers
“Our purview of what design is, is anything that a human touches. And as long as we’re thinking about these things as the unintended and intended consequences of people’s decisions, you can’t run out of stories, really.”
