We already have the expertise for creating a world in which all living beings and the planet itself can thrive. Like a murmuration of starlings, imagine what we could do if we brought all that expertise together to explore the possibilities of learning, supporting, and connecting with each other.

In this facilitated workshop, participants will share their ways of working and their vision/story for how the world will be different because of their work. All participants will have the opportunity to contribute to the process of the Creating a Different Story project. We are learning from all the conversations we are already having and we hope to continue making meaningful, practical and lasting connections with likeminded people and with people we don’t immediately see as allies.

The aim is to provide an alternative to the overwhelming narrative that we need to protect and divide in competition for scarce resources. In the workshop, we will respectfully hear each other and get to know each other.
