   Engaging with the oceans

"We need new narratives that connect with peoples’ deepest motivations and promote more radical action. Stories engage people at every level - not just in their minds but in their emotions, values and imaginations, which are the drivers of real change.  So if we want to transform society, we must learn to tell - and listen to - a new set of stories about the world we want to create.” 

Simon Hodges, Storyteller

We are called to be the architects of our future, not its victims.”

R. Buckminster Fuller
