This is exactly the perspective we brought to creating our #SurvivingTheFuture online community.

Anyone who wants to talk over the grief side or the 'how to respond' side, our door's always open 🙂

And from January our #DeeperDive will offer the chance to join a small group discussing such with the likes of #NateHagens, #TadzioMüller, #IsaFrémeaux, #LeahAvene, #MarkBoyle and #RachelDonald ✊🏼

Ok, enrollment's open for this winter's #SurvivingTheFuture: #TheDeeperDive!

Be one of fifty participants in real conversation with the likes of #NateHagens, #LeahAvene, #RachelDonald, @muellertadzio, #IsabelleFrémeaux and #MarkBoyle about how it makes sense to live through such times...

Let’s be clear: none of us have neat answers to the impossible conundrums of the day.
Likely there are none.

And that raises some pretty important questions for those of us alive now:

A poster for 'Surviving the Future', described as being "For those seeking insights and allies to help themselves and their localities through profound change". The text is over the backdrop of a dark forest at sunset. And the dates January 5th - March 14th 2026.

An image of a campfire at night, with text:
"Join the Deeper Dive. A 10-week opportunity to slow down, pull back, and explore responses as part of a small global community, along and alongside some of the world's leading thinkers and doers.

Offered with trust-based inclusive pricing."

I first met the inspirational #LarchMaxey in 2011 as a co-founder of the #EcologicalLandCooperative, to whose land I moved with #MarkBoyle, and which I eventually chaired.

By then Larch had already co-founded the inspirational #Lammas ecovillage. He then went on to help set up #ExtinctionRebellion & #JustStopOil, before 9 months in prison for disruption to tankers at Britain's biggest oil terminal.

Now he needs our help to stop #HS2 from driving him out of his home:

I'm horrified to hear that after killing #SchumacherCollege (my blog post about that here: https://www.darkoptimism.org/2024/08/31/death-and-rebirth-farewell-dear-schumacher-college-hello-new-friends/ ) the #DartingtonHallTrust is now looking to evict #MartinCrawford and uproot the finest forest garden in the temperate world; a place that was a personal inspiration to #MarkBoyle and me.

Needless to say, such places cannot quickly be moved or restored.
