What Is The Forum?

Wisdom & Action Forum 2025 explores the theme, 'We Are Nature'. ‍

Building on our inaugural forum –Sensemaking & Systems Change – discussions will delve into nature repair, conservation, and biodiversity—and how these acts of care ripple across every aspect of life: our communities, systems, and future.

This is a conversation about our humanity and the interconnectedness of all life.There is a deep and ancient truth we are rediscovering: we are not separate from nature; we are nature.

This is a paradigm we need to change in order to respond to the context we are in.
