NEW STORIES, NEW CULTURE

Thrutopia

Thrutopian visions craft, grounded, plausible and inspiring route maps from a recognisable present towards a future we’d be proud to leave behind.

Creating these is going to take all our amazing, collective creativity.

This is not dystopia – bringing the worst of ourselves to the table. Nor is it utopia, which is always and ever a step, leap, planet away.

This is Thrutopia, crafting ways of being that bring the best of our birthright  to the wonder and promise that are arising now, when everything is changing.

Thrutopia

Thrutopian visions craft, grounded, plausible and inspiring route maps from a recognisable present towards a future we’d be proud to leave behind.

Creating these is going to take all our amazing, collective creativity.

This is not dystopia – bringing the worst of ourselves to the table. Nor is it utopia, which is always and ever a step, leap, planet away.

This is Thrutopia, crafting ways of being that bring the best of our birthright  to the wonder and promise that are arising now, when everything is changing.

So how can we create Thrutopias?

If we understand where we’re coming from, we can (re)discover how to use our collective human superpower to find a path through…

E

Our old system is no longer fit for purpose, if that purpose is the continuation of complex life on Earth.

It’s all too easy to tell ourselves outdated stories of what we think is possible, locking ourselves in the old beliefs that human nature is grounded in scarcity, separation and powerlessness. But it’s not.

Our superpower is our capacity to work and create together: to build a future of human potential shaped by agency, sufficiency and, above all, connection: connection with all parts of ourselves, each other and the vast, amazing web of life that sustains us.

E

Total systemic change begins inside – this is a spiritual revolution first.

As the old story crumbles under the weight of its own contradictions, we can build something grounded in the raw material of the human spirit — real enough to be obvious, brilliant enough to be worthwhile, courageous enough to work.

Stretching our minds beyond the boundaries of what we’ve been told is possible lets us step up and bring the best of ourselves to the table. Then we can…

N

Agree on common values:

Integrity, Compassion, Generosity of Spirit

N

Agree on our non-negotiable baselines of:

Clean Air, Clean Water, Clean Soil

N

Find the courage (Heroism) to create clean, clear, compassionate connections between:

–  All parts of ourselves (inner work)
–  Ourselves and each other (building communities of place, purpose, and passion)
–  Ourselves and the Web of Life (deep spiritual connection to the hypercomplex system of which we are an integral part)

All over the world, people are living by new — and better — stories

Amplifying these and stitching them together creates Thrutopian narratives that offer M.A.D.E –

E

Motivation – I see a door in the concrete cell of my life and yearn to step through, for my own sake and for future generations.

E

Agency – I have the tools to open the door, to cross into the world of colour, life, and engagement.

E

Direction – I can see the route and the first steps to take.

E

Empowerment – I am free to take these steps, and they will carry me closer to the world I want.

E

We live in a moment of Great Transformation.

E

Our world is the coolest it will be in our lifetimes — and the most politically stable.

E

Old systems are breaking down. Business as usual is over.

E

The future is ours to make.

E

No problem is solved from the mindset that created it.

E

Emergence from complex systems is real. So are tipping points. We can’t force them, but we can set the conditions for them to arise.

Now is the time and we are the people – this is a moment when anything can and will happen. Nothing is predictable except that every single thing we do, every breath we take, every act of goodwill, every time we reaffirm ourselves in service to life makes a difference.

We can do this. All of us. Together.
