What if communications became the light of hope for healing and regeneration? How can we redesign communications to enable organisations, communities and places to flourish?

Within our polluted attention economy, there is no space for what is essential to you and about you. That's why Perspectivist uses a storyweaving approach to refertilise behavioral narratives, impact ecosystems and attention landscapes.

This is an invitation to explore infusing your communications and brand with a sense of radical belonging, of radical being, and of radical beauty. In this dark age, it is your spark of light from the wisdom of your soul that will make the difference.

At an ever more digitally connected time, we’re ever more divided. Painfully visible are the signs of the end of a morbid and mechanical era that has over-emphasized the ego. From battlefield to smartphone screen – violence is capturing the attention over our hearts, minds and hopes.

The new by Perspectivist portray the phenomenon of contemporary warfare in its diverse manifestations. From the war on nature and war on femininity to military interventions. Poetically and communicatively, the series explores how our perspectives on war shape the way we experience it.

The series asks how to move beyond violent *ttingIntoExtinction narratives that perpetuates the War on Life: how can we write the next chapter in history, one where humanity is thriving on the ashes of modernity?

At a time where the lungs of the world, our ecosystems, were literally on fire, humanity has been hit by a global lung disease. Millions have left their lives to Covid19 and millions to the wider impact.

The virus is at the intersection of many of our contemporary global crises: a public health crisis, the destruction of nature and increasingly fragmented and polarized societies.

Complexity requires us to move beyond a narrow and destructive tunnel-vision of the Coronavirus. Discover the first part of our series about the "war against the virus" and how to move beyond.

There is no magic pill or vaccine to go "back to normal". And "normal" didn't work. Ralph Thurm's book "The Corona Chronicles" offers alternatives to build real resilience into the way we design our economic system, while tackling today's interrelated challenges.

The Regenerative Economy is coming. And with it, a new way to look at the world and our role in it. The new thought-provoking book "Rethinking Sustainability Towards a Regenerative Economy" invites us to embark on the journey to become regenerative entrepreneurs, businesses and economic designers.

This involves reimagining, redesigning and practicing a life-affirming reality. Within a regenerative economy, every business act contributes to the health and well-being of communities and natural ecosystems.

Recent research has shown that natural regeneration can potentially absorb 40 times more carbon than plantations, and provide a home for more species.

The 'messy' alternative to tree-planting Trees are excellent at taking carbon out of the atmosphere and trapping it in their trunks, roots and leaves. But what if planting them wasn't the solution?

Annual plants grow in perennial systems. Yet, industrial agriculture grows monocultures requiring ever more fertilizers with ever less yields. Switching to no-till and no-kill with integrated biodiversity helps soils and yields.

Remaining in the industrial paradigm is not only increasingly costly for farmers, but also detrimental for our food security, climate and regional biodiversity.

The next stage of emancipation is to reconnect to the web of life. To create win-win-win situations for all beings. By integrating diversity in a way that allows for economic, social and ecological life to thrive.

You wonder what you can do on this Earth Day? Will a bit less plastic, meat or car use help to save planet?

Emissions still grow, biodiversity shrinks rapidly, while sustainability promises and omnipresent ESG reports fail to deliver on real change.

Life in lockdown, economic breakdown and a public health crisis - the last months were truly exceptional.

What makes us human has evolved in intimate reciprocity with the environments our human ancestors found themselves in. Reconnecting with our innate love for life in all its forms lies at the heart of creating a more regenerative human presence on Earth.

The passionate love of Life and of all that is alive “We have only the world that we bring forth with others, and only love helps us bring it forth.”

Honestly, we were surprised to read that this little plastic-metal thing soon needs robot rights to protect its emotions.

Reminder:
- we're living the ongoing sixth mass extinction
- people all over the world are suffering
- there is now more human-made matter than biomass on this planet

With 91%, US Americans display the world's highest share in individualistic attitudes. Together with a strong identification with work values, this leaves many who have lost their job with mental health issues, including drug abuse, alcoholism, and even su***de.

'Work is the single most important way of proving your worth' in the U.S., professor says — and it's making Americans miserable In the U.S., one expert says, "the more you work, the better person you are." That has broad implications for Americans, especially during a pandemic.
