How being polytemporal might help us meet this moment

In our 3rd sessions of the series, we are joined by Ella Saltmarshe. 

Ella is a founder, systems change specialist, anthropologist, writer, podcaster, teacher, activist, and a mother.
Her work focuses on harnessing the power of culture, narrative and systems change - in meta and micro ways.
She is a founder of the Long Time Project, which seeks to cultivate a culture of stewardship and public imagination across society.

This is a participative, experimental online workshop, offering creative fertiliser from our guest teacher as well as practices to creatively respond to the session as a way of being in relationship with the 'content' offered.

The session is hosted by Dan Burgess and Evva Semenowicz.

About the session

We live in a time of enormous existential challenges. As the world becomes more chaotic and difficult, it becomes harder to look-up. Living in the metacrisis can be painful, confusing and overwhelming.

In this session, we will expand our perspectives, exploring how becoming polytemporal can enable us to better meet this moment. We will inhabit different temporalities, and explore the nuances of what particular ways of doing time can open up for the now.

We will spend time in the early days of the planet; we will get civilisational; we will cultivate intergenerational empathy; we may also talk to the birds…
