  • Developing a Sustainable Creative Practice

    Practical skills, research and methods are shared to support your practice being regenerative: Not taking more than it gives a.d creating re eneration in it’s wake. From eco web servers to groups & collectives supporting the development of your practice. You will receive a clear overview of tried and tested steps you can take today to make a positive difference.

  • Climate Law and Rights for Land & Sea

    Society and Culture is evolving to view the human as an entangled part of all of the other living and non living entities around us. For instance the equivalent of ‘human rights’ are being given to mountains and rivers and embassies are being created to represent more than human voices. We will explore the brilliance and potential of these systems.

  • Creative Resilience

    We explore methods and practices, conversations and knowledges to support how you access the root of your creative intentions and gifts. Discover perspectives and confidence to see your skills and gifts not only as yours but as unique assets crated to benefit the collectives ecosystem.

    ‘Imagination should be used, not to escape reality, but to create it.’ Colin Wilson

  • Radical Hope & Navigating Climate Tragedy

    We are here to participate with the Earth using the communal language of creativity.

    We can be the planets solution not the cancer. We are created by the cosmos - so her wisdom and profundity lies with in us.

    We will explore academic research at the forefront of this thinking that supports a peaceful understanding and acceptance for the times we now navigate. Giving you the resilience and clarity to step forward with radical hope and clear thinking.

Why is this talk important?

The sensitivities of the arts are now called upon to awaken & fortify our communication with the natural world, the seen and the unseen, the micro and the macro, to support our crafting of and emergence into a collaborative & creatively inspired future for our shared existence.

It is evident that humans cannot exist without all of the other species and beings that we are entangled with. As extinctions take place our entanglements begin to unravel. An innate awareness is now called upon to be remembered, looking at ourselves not as one entity but as a link between millions. What other forms of life and natural materials are we sharing our days with? How are they influencing us, how are we influencing them? Only-human stories do not have the necessary capacity to elevate our times and are alive with opportunity to be recrafted & retold.

‘Multispecies scholars are asking how human lives, lifeways, and accountabilities are folded into myraids of entanglements.

What does "multispecies" do differently? First, it aims to decenter the human, striving to achieve some detachment from its precepts, assumptions, and conceits. The starting point of multispecies work is that the "human" is comprised of masses of nonhumans- internal swarms of bacteria, viruses, and fungi vastly outnumber our human cell by a ratio of about 9 to 1. We fundamentally misunderstand the human if we see it as a singular, unified agent; rather, what "we" are as a species is utterly entangled in copious folds of nonhumans, without which we would not exist.’
