ALIVE: Intentionally Evolving Our Futures is a three-day immersive event that will gather 100 future thinkers from across the globe to awaken and weave our relationship with the future as a living system.
The program invites participants to explore a distinct dimension of foresight as a natural and co-creative practice — Future Ready, Future Empowered, and Future Conscious — through the unifying lens of the ALIVE worldview: Abductive • Liminal • Interconnected • Vibrant • Emergent.
Each day stands independently as a complete learning journey, yet together they form a holistic transformation from awareness to agency and awakening.
Whether you join for one day or all three, you will leave renewed in your ability to thrive amid complexity, connect with changemakers, and embody the future as it unfolds through you.
To be ALIVE is to recognize that life is not happening to us — it is happening through us.
ALIVE is a gathering for those who are unashamed to embrace foresight and futures thinking as a natural, fundamental, and transformational aspect of life itself. Rather than focusing on trends, technologies, issues, and events to gather insights, navigate change, or build solutions, ALIVE focuses on how we – as living beings in a living cosmos – can tap into the living field of relationship, creativity, and potential.
This is not a conference filled with presentations, panels, and workshops; it’s a dynamic space for learning from another, embracing the possibilities birthed from complexity, embodying futures consciousness, and nourishing the soil of transformation that fosters healthy futures for all of us.
The future is no longer “out there” — it’s ALIVE within us!
Choose one day, two days, or the full three-day experience at a discounted rate.
Each day focuses on core elements of the ALIVE worldview.
Day One focuses us on the Abductive and Liminal aspects of being ALIVE to unlock the future within us. Attendees will actively cultivate the capacity to:
Readiness is not preparation for what’s next or “doing foresight” – it’s being with the future and awakening to what desires to evolve.
Day Two dives into the Interconnected dimension of ALIVE to empower the future moving through us. Participants will engage in:
Empowerment is not the assertion of our will through the leveraging of external change – it is the orchestration of resonance and coherence with life’s combinatorial unfolding.
Day Three invites participants into the Vibrant and Emergent facets of ALIVE to transform the future between and beyond us. Immersion will be centered around cooperative perception, relational emergence, and the cultivation of transformational realities.
Consciousness is the continual act of cooperative interbeing and the future recognizing itself through us.
All three days will include collective gestures of foresight as immersive activism:
