Initiatives are the practical and strategic branch of what we do. They emerge from listening to and collaborating with an ever-evolving ecosystem. They manifest as places to connect and convene dialogues, spaces for exploring ideas and sharing knowledge, and resources that ignite action. Some of this work is visible to the public, whilst other projects act to fertilize the roots beneath the ground.

“If we understand ourselves as part of a living eco-system continually being shaped by and shaping us, then everything we do has ecological implications, and every attempt to mend or protect our ecosystem is inevitably rooted in questions of social justice.”
