This is the Fresh Thinking Atlas. It has 10 landscapes each containing stories and companions designed to help you explore and build your own capacity in each landscape. I will be adding stories to the Atlas in the coming weeks and months each exploring different aspects of their territory.

The Economist says that Zack Polanski's 'adolescent politics' is reminiscent of Peter Pan. Then the Bond Markets (adult politics) are Captain Hook. And all the things they won't let us invest in are like the Crocodile and the Ticking Clock. Perhaps Adolescent Incredulity is the politics we need?

In a world where things can be almost entirely AI, almost entirely human (anyone read any human slop lately?) or AI enabled I have been using AI to generate a little flow chart to help to figure out slop or not…I’m not AI quite understands simple logic…

Google Len’s tells me this is a fossilised sea urchin. But I’m not so sure. What does the Bluesky world think? I’d prefer to hear from people that know, or those with a good quip…

I have been working on new type of development programme, designed to encourage and strengthen right hemispheric thinking toward: context, connection, and coherence felt experience, metaphor, and imagination presence, humility, and care If this sounds intriguing please do let me know...

An Invitation to Walk the Thread
A Listening World learning journey

This is not a training.
It’s not a course with fixed outcomes or a curriculum designed to deliver pre-packaged knowledge.
It’s a shared inquiry. A process. A space to explore how we live, relate, and respond in a world on the edge.

We invite you into a circle of fellow travellers.
Together we’ll follow the thread—through story, stillness, dialogue, and embodied practices.
There will be structure, but not rigidity. Guidance, not instruction.
The path will emerge beneath our feet as we walk.

This is for those who sense that something deeper is needed.
For those seeking not answers, but better questions.
For those ready to listen—to themselves, to one another, and to the world.

You might come away changed. Or not.
You might find clarity. Or more mystery.
Whatever your journey, you won’t walk it alone.
