The Most Subversive Invitation by John O’Donohue

24 December 2016 1 Comment

"Humans have an uncanny ability to domesticate everything they touch. Eventually, even the strangest things become absorbed into the routine of the daily mind with its steady geographies of endurance, anxiety and contentment. Only seldom does the haze lift, and we glimpse for a second, the amazing plenitude of being here. Sometimes, unfortunately, it is suffering or threat that awakens us. It could happen that one evening, you are busy with many things, netted into your role and the phone rings. … Continue reading

We Will Tell Our Own Story! | Bayo Akomolafe

9 October 2016 1 Comment

I am very pleased to share that 'We Will Tell Our Own Story!' has been published, and is now available everywhere. I conceived this project in 2011 after speaking in Penang, Malaysia. I wanted to write a book that contested the universalizing effects of western epistemologies - and I wanted to do it with the most potent writers on the African continent and in diaspora. I got Professors Molefi Asante (USA), Ama Mazama (Guadeloupe), Augustine Nwoye (Nigeria), Nnamdi Ekeanyanwu (Nigeria), and the … Continue reading

Transforming the Human Narrative: The Rise of Regenerative Development & Design

13 September 2016 Leave a Comment

"The novelist Terry Pratchett once wrote, “people think that stories are shaped by people. In fact, it’s the other way around.” However it seems these types of dichotomies are often both/and more than they are either/or. It is true that we are shaped by the stories that we inherit, but we are also co-creating these stories through the actions that we consciously — or unconsciously — take. It might be closer to the truth to see as us and our stories as co-emerging and co-evolving. "All stories … Continue reading

The secret to changing the story is slow listening

27 May 2016 Leave a Comment

"Good listening, just like good cooking, takes time. There is a Slow Food movement, why not a Slow Listening movement? It is a good analogy and a great way to help people think about it. "At the core of this initiative idea is invitation and the creation of places and spaces for people to listen to each other's stories. Invitation is the beginning of co-creation. Imagine what this capacity to listen could create... What if we listen to our children like that? What if we listened to each other … Continue reading

They Sang with a Thousand Tongues: The Poetry of Diversity | Bayo Akomolafe

28 January 2016 Leave a Comment

"Might I venture to say that our most compelling imperative today — if one is permitted to speak in those ways — is to reclaim the thickness of our tongues and learn the names and faces of our neighbours; it is to realize that our worldview is just a tittle in a never-ending sentence; it is to see that there are more ways to learn than school and polished degrees could ever accommodate and more ways to live than could be captured in a Facebook post. The imperative is to recognize that our … Continue reading

Capitalism Is Just a Story – Rise Up and Create a New One

23 April 2015 Leave a Comment

"How many of us have a sneaking suspicion that something pretty fundamental is going wrong in the world? We keep hearing about the potentially devastating consequences of climate change but we are pumping more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every single year. We are forced into economic crisis after economic crisis and the only people who aren’t brought to their knees are those that cause it. In fact, they often just get richer and more powerful while the rest of us work harder and harder … Watch video

Replace the Gospel of Money: An Interview With David Korten

8 April 2015

What if we measured wealth in terms of life, and how well we serve it? "You really can’t grasp the new story — as a society — and continue to live the way we live. First you begin to move toward more voluntary simplicity, which is, literally, reducing your dependence on money. You start doing more things yourself. You pay much more attention to your relationships, to the gift economy. You perhaps get a deeper sense of being part of and a contributor to a living universe evolving toward ever … Continue reading
