New Constellations
By New Constellations
For millennia, across cultures and continents, we have looked to the stars to navigate when we are lost. In this era of transformation, in which everything is in flux, we are locked onto old stars that are pulling us in a perilous direction. We need to discover new possibilities, and reset our course.
New Constellations exists to help people imagine and create better, more beautiful futures; futures in which humanity and the planet flourish together.
We invite you to meet and journey with some of the many pioneering people and communities whose thinking, work and practice shines light on the way ahead.
