“We know that inspiring stories shape our life. Throughout human history, our power to imagine a better world has pushed – or pulled – us away from the comfort of the known. But our stories of power, accumulation and self-aggrandisement have brought us to the edge of extinction and we urgently need new heroes, new ways of doing things, new peaks to aim for.” Manda Scott
If you are a writer and are concerned about the state of our world do come and join us to for this enlightening evening writers lab. You must book to reserve your seat.
You Must Book Early to reserve your place.
We are very excited to have Laurel Freeland facilitate an interactive ‘Thrutopian Writers Lab.’
Thrutopia is a new writing genre for the future. It cuts through the old context of storytelling that featured polarities: good and bad, us and them, right and wrong, hero and villain, to seed a viable future for all life.
Bring your writing gear and your imagination to join in an experiential Thrutopian Writers Lab to seed new stories for the Future.
Laurel is a social ecologist, coach and facilitator who addresses climate and sustainability. She works with organisations and teams to create ways of thinking and working to change systems and the way we live in the world.
