When my time with a company ends it is sudden. I am used to the inhuman rug pull of revoked permissions. Not so, here. Here there is trust.
Yet I have created something without permission, that no one knows is coming. But that thing will be human and that thing will be hope.

Thank you to everyone who joined with us to hold space for inner work today. It was so nourishing to be in a space where people could just *be* and were even able to be comfortable with the natural silence of deep thought. What a wonderful way to spend a morning!

A full house, people sneaking their way in, laughter, stories of sausages... and crowd of people changed by new ideas. Ideas that centre learning in the human and not in metrics.
We have left Marmalade festival in Oxford feeling truly humbled by the reception of our work, thank you everyone!

I love that 'role playing' is a part of this. The need for play and experimentation seems to be a thread connecting so much of radical thought!

Let's talk social media. Let's talk change. BlueSky, sincerely, I love you but (even as a goth with an absurdist outlook) THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY than the constant doom stream. It needs to start with us.

Why do we talk about 'heads of organisations' but we don’t talk about them having a heart or a gut?
Big data doesn't value the unmeasurable. We leave our other sources of wisdom, and the scope of human potential, on the cutting room floor.

Lived Experience and the Importance of the Heart

So much this! A core part of systems change is collective inner work - the space needed to put down the masks and be human... with all the mess that that entails 💔
