LIVING UNTITLED

Our individual and collective imaginations are incredibly powerful tools that need to be protected and nurtured. We achieve this by building and investing in narratives that heal the imagination. We revitalize it by supplanting healthy ideas in the mind in order to cultivate new potential outcomes. These conversations are focused around rebuilding the imagination with visions of a brighter future—for society and for our planet as a whole.

Democracy is a never ending, constantly evolving practice centered around compromise and civic engagement. But in times of uncertainty, we can’t help but ask ourselves, can we ever create pure democracy?What are we willing to give up to secure and keep our freedom? Is the sacrifice equally shared by all? Is the value ever the same? We address these questions and more with conversations on this topic.

It’s always exciting to think about what tomorrow will look like. Why are we so obsessed with looking ahead? Is it hardwired into our nature? These conversations help us get to the heart and science of are natural tendencies to focus on the future–the good and the bad of this habit–and ways in which we can channel this effort to help us both in the everyday and in even more powerful ways when we come together as a community.

Innovation and effort. Athleticism and excellence. It’s all about motivation and pursuit, the drive to create and overcome what stands in our way. How do we break the cycle? Do we ever want to break the cycle? These conversations explore our obsession with progress, the ways in which progress is vital to our collective success and how progress is multidimensional in nature, with individuals and communities on all sides of the equation.

Artists play a vital role in helping society imagine new possibilities and make sense of the world in which we live today. But the definition of art will always evolve and our perception of artists will continuously change alongside it. With these conversations, we explore the place and the role of the artist in history and modern society, as well as why art will continue to always matter and our collective responsibility in protecting it.

We are just one species on this planet and there is so much we are continuing to learn from many of the other species that call earth home. How do we shift our thinking to act more responsibly and as good stewards to all other species and our earth? These conversations examine this question both from the perspective of those who advocate for this way of thinking already and those who might need to be convinced.
