🚀 Upcoming Explorations 🚀
Education for Flourishing Conference - 2nd May 2025
Join us—along with key thinkers including Zak Stein and Jon Kabat-Zinn—at Harvard University on May 2nd, 2025, for a transformative one-day conference focused on bridging education, systems change, and human flourishing. We are also excited to announce a day-two Unconference on 3rd May to more deeply explore the metacrisis and Second Renaissance - more details on this coming soon.
Sensemaking Studio: Find Out More – A Welcome Event
In an era of accelerating change and entangled crises, organisations are being asked to make sense of an increasingly complex and unpredictable world, while regular approaches to analysis and decision-making fail us. We need altogether different ways of looking, tools for understanding, and routes to skilful agency.
🌅 Second Renaissance 🌅
Join us at Limicon 2025
Limicon is a month-long fan convention of the liminal web, attracting practitioners, artists, sense-makers, ritual crafters, philosophers, community weavers, experimenters, builders, and enthusiasts in and around the liminal, integral, metamodern, and related scenes.
Life Itself and Second Renaissance will be presenting during the month long event, which first launched in 2024. Tickets are still available to join Limicon and all participants are welcome to host sessions throughout the month,.
If you're hosting a session make sure to share with others in the community via our whatsapp chat.
View our Forum post to keep updated on the sessions we have scheduled and to share your thoughts and reflections from the event.
💡Life Itself Research💡
The Life Itself Research collective has had an exciting period of weekly seminars covering topics from the nature of paradigm shifts in cultural evolution, to the idea of ‘common sense’ in the work of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, to the relation between being, knowing and valuing.
Recordings of meetings are made available in the research section of this substack and on the Youtube channel. Here’s the recording of Jonah’s presentation (with others to follow):
Another research output this month was a popular overview and typology of the concept of Metamodernism, also by Jonah.
