how do we make it in the
The Anthropocene (n): is a unit of geologic time, like the Holocene, used to describe the current period in Earth's history when human activity has started to have a significant negative impact on the planet's climate and ecosystems.
Anthropocene?
In order to make it in the Anthropocene we must connect our being and align our doing with likeminded communities doing impactful, systems changing work. With the launch of our being + doing platform you can:
find moments of calm, reflect, & support your mental health (being)
find community & purpose, new clients and projects, advance your impactful work (doing)
We’re building a world that is rooted, supported, and committed - join in.
to make it in the Anthropocene, we must move…
from overwhelmed in isolation to being supported by community
from finding any work to doing necessary work
from going at it alone to doing it together
from gripped by fear to being rooted in collective resilience
discover your being, align your doing

a question with no true answer
When individuals and businesses ask themselves, “how can we ensure we make it in the Anthropocene?”, it becomes crystal clear:
it’s about way more than just doing.
We have to ask ourselves: what needs to be done, what is being required of us, and who are we becoming in the process?
Only then will the change required emerge.
