What if we become good ancestors? Imagining and enabling more sustainable futures
If you knew you can become a good ancestor then what will you do differently now? In this session, we will find out what it means to be a good ancestor for the earth and all who live on it. With the help of “What if…?” visualisation exercises we will consider the actions we can take today which could plant the seeds and develop the roots of the futures we want. Participants will experience the sensory realities of the futures they imagine, and will learn a tool for helping others imagine the futures they desire. We would welcome feedback and your experiences in using this tool in your communities.
