What are we missing?

We’re entering a new dawn.

The age of science and exploration. Of freedom. Self expression. Non-conformity. Self reliance.

The time has come to thoroughly rethink the way we spend our time, with whom, why and for what reason.

What are we missing? 
What if we accept that we cannot change everyone and that we can’t change the discourse of history. But consider this. What can we do on an individual level?

What if we could engineer and fabricate these moments of serendipity that lead to the creation of new ideas, transparency, a higher state of awareness, the notion that “we’re all in this together”.

The fact of the matter is: we’ve entered the age of uncertainty.
It’s impossible to change the discourse of history, but we can shape modernity.

A hundred years ago ‘to be modern’ meant to chase ‘the final state of perfection’ — now it means an infinity of improvement, with no ‘final state’ in sight and none desired. (Bauman, Liquid Modernity)

We know we don’t have all the answers. 
In fact, we’re taking it one step further. We invite you to help us ask the questions..

Could we create an environment that could temporarily replicate a society that is free of preordained norms, the absence of guaranteed meaning, of absolute truths, in order to create a temporary no-time space where conventional rules are suspended?

We feel strongly that this is the time to construct new ideas and practices that will bridge this “in between” gap — The space between stories — the story that has yet to be written.

Where we will create new and valuable links: new links between neurons and unrelated ideas; new links with unexpected individuals who we would not engage in real life but that would become our comrades; new links between our self and our self to be.

It’s a pivotal moment in human history, where modern prometheans and luminaries will be asked to steal the fire themselves, and bring it back to humanity.
