co-create the future

We’ve brought together a diverse group of global voices and visions to take the first steps in discovering what it might mean to actually co-create – with purpose and clarity – the collective future of humanity. It’s a big premise, one that opened up a space where our brave volunteers began to liberate their imagination, new intelligence, creativity, new music (even a "rap"), and the impulses of an emerging new future.

Part of the discovery process is to look for the practices, qualities and attitudes that enable co-creation, such as courage, forgiveness, even playfulness. And nurturing the ability to recognize and resist the gravitational pull of the patterns and paradigms that keep us tethered in the past. 

Exploring how to create the lift for real breakthroughs, both personal and collective. "Unlearning" our need for a concrete definable future and relaxing into reaching for the unknown.

On this journey of liberating our imagination we also bring to life what our souls are yearning for… a deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and a higher universal intelligence… all joining together in co-creating a brighter future for humanity.

Just thinking of the qualities that would allow us to be, let's say, pioneering new things and exploring new things. I don't think they are very different from the pioneers of the past. It's a combination of curiosity, bravery, and being a little bit crazy. Because if you always go by the book, then probably you will be repeating the good old stuff, which is fine. But if we want the new to come, we need to trust our complex and be playful. And be a little brave as well.

With a bachelors in neuroscience and a masters in organizational psychology, I've spent years studying the hidden forces that drive human behavior and the structures we find ourselves embedded in.

At home, we were always encouraged to ask the more enigmatic questions of life. Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where will I go at the end of my life? And the biggest question of all, What is my part to play in the great canvas of life?

Enchanted by the many different cultures and peoples from around the world, during my youth I traveled through my trusty Encyclopedia Britannica. Then came the wondrous day that I was able to travel by airplane. Committed to being a "Champion of Warmth," I continue my travels and interactions with others from all around the world, as together we create a "bouquet of humanity;" one that connects and offers companionship as we step into the future.
