Art is not just made in the studio.

navigating new understandings of creativity, nuance and human potential in a divisive world requires a deep understanding of our interconnectedness.

we believe art and emergent strategy principles create revolutionary perspectives in seeing beauty and common ground at the intersection of intentional exploration and radical interruptions.

We see ourselves as modern-day alchemists – the finders of the 3rd space where seemingly disparate ideas have common ground. Our philosophy is founded on three principals stemming from Carl Jung’s response to a question around total nuclear annihilation in 1953:

“I think it depends on how many people can stand the tension of the opposites in themselves.”

1.      We believe we must accept and integrate the opposing and dissonant parts of ourselves if we are to survive.

2.     Any decision that comes from the false binaries prevalent in our culture, are incomplete and lack impact.

3.     Accepting this, we can understand conflict and differences within our culture as generative instead of destructive.

In current structures that rely on separateness, scarcity, and shame we aim to return to the organic humanity of progress through art, curiosity, and connection. At the core, we are rebel possibilists who facilitate and co-create this third space for leaders, organizers, teams, and creatives who believe that equitable investigation, prismatic diversity and cultures of belonging are not just nice concepts but rather imperative for our survival.

Through our bespoke consulting services, we specialize in conflict facilitation, integrative creative strategy, conscious investing, and deploying disruptive models that break conventional boundaries and ignite new possibilities.

Services

  • The future of creativity is in the collective and communal. Gone are the days of the cults of personalities and cultures of genius. Teams must lean into collaboration, curiosity and perpetual inquiry to achieve impeccable communication, productions, and results as a collective.

  • We believe in holding multiple truths at once - not agreeing to disagree but finding common ground and win-win outcomes in seemingly disparate and impossible impasses.

    Where do we find this third space of connection? The greatest resolver of all problems - the "kitchen table". Through creating informal, familiar and nourishing space, we can better relate to our commonalities, express our needs and tell our stories in ways that dissolve walls and bring us back to our humanity.

  • Connecting artists, new technologies, social psychology, creative processes, and science in new and surprising ways. We ask unexpected, skilled questions that catalyze incisive insight into innovation and cultural analysis, creating bespoke interventions for teams and leaders.

    Organizational acumen must lie in a company's ability to be flexible, adaptable and imaginative. Small moments of interruption, perspective shifts, pattern disruption or unexpected awe can stretch our curiosity and possibility muscles in significant ways, leading to even more surprisingly useful outcomes.

  • We believe in the tenets of Emergent Strategy used for community organizing and social change. The talking circle has been a democratic and consensus driven space to safely question mores and systems that have become unhelpful for a millennia.

    By employing our natural human imaginative abilities and facilitating cross-pollination between diverse disciplines, we empower organizations to maintain relevance in a wild and weird landscape without leaving people behind.

    Our approach is grounded in a deep understanding of both the resistance to change and the need for creating accessible “on-ramps” to it. Through our experience in the artistic and business realms, we tailor solutions that help businesses transform from the inside through acknowledging mutual humanity, story circles, and empathy.
