What if beauty could be an act of rebellion—and defiance a form of hope?
We are living in an age of profound, interconnected crises—climate collapse, misinformation, systemic unraveling, and social fragmentation. The gravity of it all can feel paralysing. But what if, instead of being trapped in urgency or despair, we leaned into imagination, creativity, and collective courage?
This 90-minute workshop is not about problem-solving—it’s about beauty-making. A gathering place for changemakers, artists, activists, and organisers, it invites us to cultivate bold and unexpected responses to the moment we are in.
Through guided exercises, collective imagination, and shared conversation, we’ll explore:
✨ The power of beauty and defiance as forces of transformation
🔥 How to discern the fires we are called to tend in an era of collapse and renewal
🎭 Creative, courageous ways to turn vision into action—not as isolated heroes, but as entangled co-weavers of a different future
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have:
Fresh, tangible ideas for acts of beauty and defiance that align with your values
A sense of connection among others committed to a more just, regenerative world
Practical next steps to transform your imagination into action
This isn’t your typical webinar. This is a living space for dreaming, scheming, and co-creating—where imagination is not an escape, but an act of resistance.
