What Does It Mean to Cultivate a Relationship With Impossibility & The Imaginal in These Times?
What does it mean to cultivate a relationship with the impossible in these times? We are dancing in between the shorelines of multiple ‘impossibilities’… On the one hand, it feels impossible that anything would change. A thick, dark fog has descended on the land, and sometimes it seems impossible to see any sort of hopeful future. On the other hand, the tantalising flicker of something that may at first seem unrecognisable, and plays with our sense of the impossible, dances at the edges.
The ways of perceiving that led us to create this current world are not the same ways of perceiving that will lead us somewhere else.
Imagination Activism is a new kind of activism powered by imagination to create new possibilities and new forms of action. It recognises that the territory of the imagination is also a sphere of activism, and what we dare to imagine helps us orient ourselves to different ways of being, different hopes, and different desires, for our own lives and the lives of the wider Earth community. Traditional activism often fights the old, whereas Imagination Activism creates the space for the new.
Join scientist, systems thinker, and imagination activist Phoebe Tickell for this 90-minute discussion and imaginal space to explore our horizon of possibilities, our relationship with impossibility, and an invitation to breathe life into our imaginations.

Presenter(s) Bio
Phoebe Tickell is the founder of the organisation Moral Imaginations (www.moralimaginations.com) and an approach called Imagination Activism: a new kind of activism powered by imagination to create new possibilities and new forms of action. She believes that the vast majority of our challenges are not resource problems, but imagination problems and that imagination is a muscle that can be flexed to change how we see – and act. Moral Imaginations works with public, private, and community organisations, using imagination to open up new possibilities and cultivate 'widening circles' of interdependence with the wider world, informing novel (but not new) approaches to systemic change.
