Re-writing our story of our relationship with nature.
And the interbeing in our life, that what gets us through the ‘next winter.'
|
It is fair to say that modern society is facing a great existential crisis. It suggests that we need to re-assess our relationships with the natural world, and how we live on this planet. The age of compulsive consumption has now passed, and a new dawn of accountability has emerged. Time to integrate the human spirit back into our systems, those that place environmental and societal well-being as priorities. |

Alan’s conversations are about this change, about weaving ecological principles into our mechanically minded systems. But where do we start? How can we do this? Is it indeed possible? There is perhaps only one simple answer to unravel all these relevant concerns: ONE CONVERSATION AT A TIME. But only if the conversation become vulnerable, emerging from the heart and from a space of deep ecological humility. Only if we take our lead from the wild. |
|
|
A conversation is not a cure-all, nor an outcome. It is about sharing contagious content, that what emerges from the heart and multiplies as a consequence. Perhaps only then may we jointly discover a roadmap of transition skills that can lead us through the existential crises we face. |
|
Re-connecting with nature and our fundamental reliance is the gateway to unlocking the inspiring innovation we are all capable of.
|
WHY? Our lives are being transformed by ecological and social forces that can no longer be ignored. We all have the capacity and responsibility to develop a remarkably different future…one that takes it lead from the wild. One that is innovative, restorative and ecologically aware. |

I invite you to return to the campfire of your mind for a while, to sit and slow, to listen and to discover. I invite you to come home to the present moment, and with nature as your guide, plug in to the great operating system of everything: consciousness.
Alan McSmith
Africa; the landscape of our soul.
Stories of wildlife, nature, adventures and encounters with inspiring people more often than not leave indelible impressions. Alan transports the TED audience back to the great continent. |

The value of nature and wild spaces are essential to discover what is at the heart of modern leadership. It is within this space of stillness and connection that inspirational, original and innovative thought and conversation emerges.
