For something that doesn't exist, the future has a profound affect on what we do in the present, as Loes Damhof explains brilliantly in this TED Talk: https://lnkd.in/eG2M7WY6 If we become too attached to one or two scenarios it limits our sense of agency - as the future can only ever be imagined. Stay with that for a minute or two... the implications of well and truly assimilating that into our being are mind-blowing! I'm in the midst or preparing to go back to Hawkwood today, I'm going to spend the next few days with Loes and Alex Lambie on the Emergence Academy to learn more about Futures Literacy. We'll be exploring our innate capacity to sense (as opposed to make-sense) of the world around us, and really unpack and appreciate: what we 'see' is actually how we see. 5 years ago I moved to Stroud, I was at the end of one imagined future, where practicing corporate sustainability wasn't realising the kind of change I had been sold. I was living someone else's future. I went to the Seed Festival, at Hawkwood, drawn to its name as the Centre for Future Thinking and connected with the team at Stop Ecocide International. From here, I supported the campaign for a few years, then continued my unlearning journey as a fellow with The Bio-Leadership Project. And at the beginning of this month, I spent an incredible week with Change in Nature practicing nature facilitation (more here: https://lnkd.in/eAU2Nkim). I had no idea where this path was headed. I just had this feeling deep down to move closer to the trees and find communities who wanted to learn and grow with, in and for nature. I hadn't realised, at the time, the biggest change I'd made was imagining a different future. There are more changes afoot and many different futures I keep trying to imagine. As Loes says: It’s not about what we do today that shapes the future, it’s how we look at the future that shapes the present. More to come from the Emergence Academy as we play with different futures and explore unknown territories to help us see the present differently and feel into what matters most... 🌳 🦋 🕸 ❤️ 🌱
