You are simply brilliant. Both on stage, and in engaging with good intellect discourse, and in the way you care for humanity" - John Yeo (NIE Professor)
Emotion & Decision-Making
Imagine, if possible, living just one day of your life unable to feel or recognise any emotion. That would be one day when you are unable to make any decision, no matter how small. How is this possible? This talk mines the depth of the human mind, guts and heart, to reveal what was known since antuiqty and now re-discovered by the new sciences. |
Language Creates Reality
Imagine, if possible, just one day where you merely exist but is not conscious either of your own existence or that of others. Who then, what then, is "you"? Language is the means by which our ideas, desires, intentions etc. come into be-ing. Language creates the reality of "you". This talk presents you with a breathtaking view of the realms of language, perception, identity, power and reality. |
Transformative Intimacy
Imagine, if possible, a day in your life where you are acknowledged and celebrated for who you truly are, and where you feel safe to be truly present to everyone as our whole and authentic self. Who would you be on that day? This talk invites you to journey deep into your self, to discover and express, the innate human capacity and desire for true intimacy that transforms every human connection. |
Inspiration, Intuition, Innovation
Imagine, if possible, being able to consistently innovate free of the constrains of existing paradigms. Is such a state of be-ing conceivable, possible, sustainable? This talk begins with the challenge of asking why there is a box to begin with where we then have to think outside of. And ends with the question of whether we are asking the right questions to begin with. |
Life's Paradoxes
When was the last time you were infuriated with sage but incomprehensible advise that goes along the lines of "never give up trying to let go" or "in order to find yourself, you have to lose yourself" or "accept what is but don't be a defeatist and continue to fight for change"? Culled from 2 decades of sense-making, this talk is a pithy collection of experiences from the trenches that frame life's seemingly paradoxical principles in evocative metaphors. |
The Future of Education
What would happen if we wrestle honestly with examining our most fundamental assumptions and biases about what we believe the purpose of education to be? For something that is supposedly one of humanity's most necessary pursuit, education has seen very little evolution since antiquity. This talk lays at your doorstep a sampling of questions that awaits our response, as individuals and as a collective. |
