This conversation with Parul Jagdish (EP275), Thomas Schindler (LI) and Lars Lægreid (LI) is about the Oslo Project. The moonshot project for resourcing and liberating new imaginations for our world.

We spoke of dematerialisation, of what it means to have had luck, to integrate to move forward - combining science with other ways of knowing. We spoke of scale, lore, education. How curious it is that our hopes and dreams are so similar at the moment across political divides and walks of life. The invitation is for you to get involved.

Parul Punjabi Jagdish (LinkedIn) steward of AIME came by the podcast. We spoke of the importance of the process of familiarising ourselves with who we are, the role and function of imagination. Why death is so central to life and how inviting it into our individual lives as well as our organisations is an invitation to radically shift away from where we are currently headed. We spoke of living cultures and living knowledge, the concept of retrieving forward and how what we are consist only of relationship. We also spoke about Imagine The Film and how it follows from a completely different pattern of creation - a sacred, co-created one. This conversation is a beautiful one. Enjoy!
