We live in an age of polycrisis, navigating both collapse and possibility.

With news headline after news headline, we can start to wonder what we should be doing, where we should be acting or caught in an endless loop of reaction cycles.

(𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 - 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨...)

The sensible answer to this can seem that of course, we all jump to action, activate emergency mode and avert the crisis, so that we can continue… living.

But what happens when this paradigm is part of the crisis itself? When rushing to action – reacting to it, not responding – is precisely what we need to pause from.

Because remaking the world requires each of us to play our best role.

Not to assume that there’s a ‘good’ way to make change, or a single ‘right’ action. But for each of us to find our right thing. The action that helps create the conditions for our personal and collective thriving, that allows us to offer our gifts with the world.

To do otherwise, and equate urgency with selflessness, or urgency with rejection of needs, means we unconsciously recreate the current paradigm.

This work – and all the work of Scintilla Centre – is about transcending the current paradigm.

It requires pausing, listening, acting. Trusting an emerging paradigm that arises when we follow our callings and find a new compass.

Because none of us should be burnt-out or exhausted while helping the world.

We deserve to flourish. Thrive. Be liberated.

This course is to help you find your most meaningful role in remaking the world: to map the crises we're navigating, to consider the roles we can play, the callings we hear, and in doing so, to compost our grief and rage into sustained and wise action.
