3rd Annual Symposium 2025:
The New Earth

The Symposium 3.0 explores the tangible manifestations of a new paradigm, highlighting how it is already being built in our daily lives. This year our theme is The New Earth, which focuses on how to restore balance, within ourselves and society, by celebrating work that challenges dominant, extractive, individualistic, and hierarchical systems and fosters more holistic, interconnected ways of being.

We invite innovators, visionaries, and creators shaping the future through conscious education, sustainable architecture, transformative activism, academia, community-building, regenerative farming, and healing work to showcase how their contributions help create a thriving, equitable, and sustainable Earth for all sentient beings.

At the heart of this symposium is a call to reimagine social, cultural, educational and ecological paradigms, centring relationality, process, intuition, and emotion. Through engagement with literature, the arts, and praxis, we seek to dismantle rigid, exploitative models and open to the participatory nature of cosmic consciousness, allowing it to unfold through us and with us.

By exploring partnership-based social systems, care-centered economies, and relational activism, Symposium 3.0 invites discussion on how shifting the ways we relate, create, and govern can foster a more regenerative, interconnected future.

We welcome submissions engaging with the following broad themes:

1. Reconceptualising Social Structures and Cultural Discourses
   • Critical perspectives on how dominant paradigms shape discourses on gender, leadership, and care
   • Theoretical and practice-based explorations of relational, reciprocal, and cooperative social models
   • Interdisciplinary approaches to rethinking power, care, and value in contemporary systems
   • Educational processes that promote and reflect the ethos of the new paradigm
2. Embodiment, Process, and Intuition in Knowledge and Praxis
   • Embodied ways of knowing, intuition, and process-oriented methodologies in education, research, and activism
   • The role of care, rest, and emotional intelligence in reconfiguring leadership and social change
   • Integrating non-hierarchical, process-based frameworks in institutions and grassroots movements
3. Interconnection, Relationality, and the Ethics of Care
   • Theoretical and applied perspectives on symbiosis, mutual care, and interdependence as guiding principles for a regenerative future
   • The role of literature, arts, and storytelling in shaping narratives around care and connection
   • How spiritual, ecological, and social systems inform one another in the pursuit of balance and sustainability
4. Towards a Rebalanced Future: Healing Systemic Fragmentation
   • The impact of patriarchal, commercialised, and extractive systems on contemporary crises and pathways towards systemic healing
   • The intersections of gender, ecology, and economy in reimagining holistic social structures
   • Praxis-based interventions that support paradigm shifts towards relational and regenerative models

This symposium invites contributions from scholars, practitioners, and creatives working at these intersections. We welcome both theoretical and practice-based explorations that contribute to rebalancing collective systems and envisioning new possibilities for the future.

Submission deadline: 1st May 2025
