Its shape and directions are fashioned by the interests and creative intelligence of its participants who, through generative conversations, co-create new and ever broadening streams of action/inquiry. There is no project "plan". We are creating the path by walking together. In February this year we convened a one-day workshop to explore directions for the project. The themes that emerged that day have guided its development this year. And each new initiative has in turn opened up new fields for exploration. This flowchart summarises where we have been and where we are heading. Scroll down for thumbnail descriptions of each project. The Anthropocene Paradox: The slides from Professor Will Steffen's keynote address at the May 24 symposium are available on request. Defiant Earth: An audio recording of Professor Clive Hamilton's keynote address at the June 27 symposium will soon be available online. Earth System Change & Cultural Evolution: A report of this June 27 workshop will be available soon.

What principles should underpin economic thinking in the radically changing conditions of the Anthropocene Transition? After Growth Re-imagining Economies for the Anthropocene 1-day Symposium • Monday 17th July REGISTRATIONS CLOSED [image: This is the divider] <http://shoutout.wix.com/so/4Lh1mYyp?cid=0®ion=780aab0f-9399-4bee-dd0c-be9559f438a5> <http://thenextsystem.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/DavidBollier.pdf> P2P & Commoning A Transformative Social Paradigm A roundtable with Dr Jose Ramos, P2P Foundation Tuesday 18th July, 10am-12.30pm, UTS Business School, 14-28 Ultimo Rd, Ultimo "In facing up to the many profound crises of our time, we face a conundrum that has no easy resolution: how are we to imagine and build a radically different system while living within the constraints of an incumbent system that aggressively resists transformational change? Our challenge is not just articulating attractive alternatives, but identifying credible strategies for actualising them." << CLICK THIS IMAGE TO DOWNLOAD THE PAPER REGISTRATION ESSENTIAL <%[email protected]> [image: This is the divider] <http://shoutout.wix.com/so/4Lh1mYyp?cid=0®ion=2fd443ca-e062-48e9-9123-229c18f064a7> Mapping Cultural Narratives for the Anthropocene First workshop in a series Tuesday 25th July, 6.00-8.30pm UTS Business School, 14-28 Ultimo Rd, Ultimo The stories at the heart of our cultures are the foundations upon which we make sense of the world and our lives. The dawn of the Anthropocene reveals the dysfunctional nature of the dominant cultural stories of our age. In this workshop we will map the stories that frame our lives and take a look at some of the new stories emerging from the grassroots and the periphery. The workshop may be the first in an ongoing inquiry into cultural narratives in the Anthropocene Transition. Participant numbers will be limited but if you miss our this time you can put your name on a priority list for the next workshop.

These gatherings of scholars and practitioners are held at 4-6 week intervals. One focal question is how might an understanding of complex systems be more effectively fostered in education at all levels and in areas of professional and social practice?

The group utilises a form of open but structured communication created by British physicist David Bohm in partnership with spiritual teacher Krishnamurti that aims to connect people to what is deeply real in their lives. There is no agenda for dialogue circles—no topic is set in advance. The content of the discussion is whatever arises spontaneously from the group.
