I Want to Hear From You!!

By Sara Lovell | December 24, 2008

girl-with-shell-to-ear Hello friends, fellow conspirators, fellow mapmakers,

I have started this Memory of the Future conversation as a way to engage and activate our collective dreaming, and hence, our collective reality-creating.

I’ve begun a list of topics I will post about, and have ideas about how to tag and categorize the posts. I’m interested in finding potent language that has a poetic or alchemical quality of evoking the desired future. The site content will be pretty broad, as creating a healthy future means creating health and well-being in every area; as humans living interdependently with each other and with all life on this planet, and all other life (that we may not have met yet), co-existing in this intimately connected universe.

I’d love to hear any ideas you have about the way I’ve started setting up the site, any thoughts you have about what the Memory of the Future means to you, any examples of healthy futures that you know about in literature, music, the arts or film, any examples of working models that are out there now being implemented, and any ideas you might have for how to make this site more interactive and collaborative….

Thank you and I look forward to brainstorming and heartstorming!

Peace,

Sara

"Summing up, it is clear the future holds great opportunities. It also holds pitfalls. The trick will be to avoid the pitfalls, seize the opportunities, and get back home by six o'clock."

About the Memory of the Future Project

The idea for the Memory Of The Future Project came about as I realized I knew of only a few examples in literature, arts or film that portrayed healthy working futures for human beings and Planet Earth. I was able to think of many examples of dismal future visions in books and film and I believe those examples become a kind of path of least resistance that draws us toward them like a magnet if we are not consciously steering ourselves. So we need a new map. We need to become mapmakers.

The Mission of the Memory of the Future Project:

To recognize that we can access our most desired future through memory, dreams, visualization, brainstorming, heartstorming...
To declare we are the creators and co-creators of our world.
To inspire ourselves and each other to build new muscles of trust in what can be, and to cultivate community in the process.
To start creating.

This site will offer you:

Inspiring words, images, video and music.
Examples of vibrant futures in the arts, in design and innovation, and in models that are working out in the world.
Resources, tools and exercises to assist in bringing forth your most desired future.
Links to amazing organizations and projects that are dedicated to creating a thriving future.
Inspiring and fun products. (in the works)

Let’s Collaborate:

Share your wisdom, ideas, resources, articles.
Share examples you’ve found of healthy futures in literature, film, music, art.
Share examples you’ve found of innovative models for living, and solutions to challenges.
Post comments or be a guest blogger.
Collaborate on products for the store.
Let me know about products you think I should link to.
