Larger Us

Larger Us is about the connections between our states of mind and the state of the world, between individual and collective, between the psychological and the political - and how we can use them to help create a larger us rather than a them-and-us world. A place to work on ourselves. Somewhere we can get good at managing our emotional states to make us more resilient. Learn to correct for our biases and prejudices. Figure out how to accept ourselves so we don’t just project the bits we dislike onto someone else. A place to work with each other. Somewhere we can learn to listen deeply and have the courageous conversations we need to have. Recognise how we can inadvertently alienate people. Know how to respond when we see people being othered, on or off line. A place to work together. Somewhere to fight for a better future by standing resolutely for our highest values while still respecting those of others. To build bridges across divides instead of deepening them. To push for change in ways that imagine winning in terms of healing, not defeating.
