We share a dream

Peripheral Thinking

Embracing creativity and storytelling can help us navigate through uncertain times and find hope and connection. Through writing and sharing our thoughts and experiences, we can unlock new perspectives, gain a better understanding of ourselves and the world, and contribute to a more positive future.

This is the second of a two-part conversation with writer, poet, and storyteller, Richard Wain, who’s recently released a book of poetry, Beyond the Brink is the Beginning.

Richard's writing explores the concept of "thrutopia": a vision for a better future. He’s part of a community of writers and thinkers who are committed to weaving new stories into culture and envisioning a world that future generations can be proud of.

Richard and Ben’s conversation offers a reminder of the power of art and the importance of paying attention to the beauty in the world, recognising our interconnectedness, and looking beyond ourselves to make a meaningful impact.
