We open the Think Beyond journey with an online gathering—a pause for reflection, imagination, and orientation in an era marked by transition.

This is a wayfinding conversation, the first step in a longer process of reimagining what it means to lead, nurture, and build for the future of children, families, and communities amid geopolitical upheaval, ecological tipping points, and deep social reckoning.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Where are we, really? What are the deeper, more existential challenges we are up against?
• How did we get here? What stories — visible or invisible — still guide how we act and respond?
• How do we move forward? What does it mean to lead with imagination, integrity, and the long view?
• What capacities are we going to need?How do we regrow the skills to meet this moment, in ourselves, our communities and our institutions?

We’ll be joined by social thinker, writer and speaker Dougald Hine whose work has helped many make meaning in times of transition and unraveling. He is author of At Work in the Ruins: Finding Our Place in the Time of Climate Crises and Other Emergencies and co-founder of organisations including the Dark Mountain Project and a school called HOME.
