The Threshold of Change
We are living between stories.
The old paradigms of growth, control, and separation are fracturing under the weight of a changing climate and the rise of artificial intelligence. This is not a problem to be solved with more data, but a transition to be inhabited with new wisdom, creativity and community.
The Resilience Collective is a space for gathering, learning, and practicing how to navigate complexity and build resilience in the face of accelerating environmental collapse, AI transformation and social division. As leaders, systems thinkers, creators and storytellers, we invite you to pause and look at the cracks — not just to witness what is breaking, but to rediscover the joy of collective imagination and the playfulness required to dream a new world into being.
