Without words

Time to let thoughts appear, be explored and drift on the train to London 💭 . #humanbeingsnotdoings . . . . 📷 @made_thought #digitaldetox #slowliving #daydreaming #humannature #slowdowntime #techlife #technicalnature #littlethoughts #bemoreyou #authenticme #creativenature #techtrends #techwillnotsaveus #ecodesigner #sustainableliving #slowtheworlddown To flex the subtle yet powerful act of choosing what to focus on. Shifting perspectives from far to near. Exploring where energy should be given and where to preserve. To be looking to the next or to enjoy being in the now. Sharpening the view, blurring the noise and finding the focus. Blossoming with fragile intention. . . . . . . . . . . #ecodesigner #inspiredbynature #thoughtsareblossoming #wednesdaywisdom #regenerativeleadership #regenerativedesign #greenliving #sustainablebusiness #gentleintention #ecologicaldesignthinking #naturemetaphors #purposedrivenlife #rdguk #businesswithpurpose #changemaker #shiftingperspective #authenticliving #springiscoming #creativenature #urbannature If you feel like you’re needing a bit of positivity and inspiration in your life, we’re having an informal Circular Economy Club drink and chat at the university park bar from 6:30pm before going to watch the film “2040” @2040film with Reading Film Theatre on Tuesday evening ( tomorrow). . The “blurb” on it 👇👇👇 What would the future look like by the year 2040 if we simply embraced the best solutions available to us to improve our planet and shifted them into the mainstream? Structured as a visual letter to his 4-year old daughter, @damon.gameau blends traditional documentary footage with dramatised sequences and high end visual effects to create a vision board for his daughter and the planet. .

But then you hear from your sister that your nephew loves science and wants to grow sunflowers 😍 . Things are looking brighter!

Here’s a load of positive energy from some of my work and friends in Europe, exemplifying the magic of people coming together from all across Europe ( and the world), to share and learn from each other, open their minds and hearts, challenge and create wonderful steps to improve the lives of people and the planet. . EU 💙 you’re amazing and I will never stop being part of you, collaborating, being inspired and creating lasting connections and positive impact for ALL! . . . . . . . @climate.kic #collaborationovercompetition #ecodesigner #circulareconomy #greenbusiness #startups #climatejourney18 #europeanunion🇪🇺 #sdgs #sustainablebusiness How can we connect or reconnect with nature and integrate it more fluidly in our lives? For our health and the planets! 🌳 One of the key questions posed in last nights wonderful gathering for the launch of @rsa_events in Reading with the inspiring Natalie from @naturenurture_ 🌿 We used the collective knowledge and wisdom in the room to share, learn and seed ideas. Excited to see what will grow! 🌱 . . . . . . . #rdguk #wildwellbeing #ecoliving #wellbeingatwork #inspiredbynature #greenliving #ecodesigner #circulareconomy #biomimicry #greenspaces #bluespaces #caversham #getoutdoorsmore #rewilding #biophilicdesign #regenerativedesign As Antonio Gaudi observed “There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature” inspiring much of his architecture, but could this thinking and inspiration from the design of nature also be applied to life? 🤔 Looking forward to take part in the upcoming @rsa_events in Reading with @naturenurture_ and Ethical Reading on the 28th @curiouslounge 🙌 The theme is “Wild Wellbeing” 🐯 Can we improve our health with a dose of nature? Can the workplace enable us to connect with our wild side? What’s so good about growing? 🌱 I’ll be joining the wonderful @alicemayyoga and Christina Hughes Nind to share perspectives on the value of nature ( & in my case in particular influencing my evolving design practice and attempts at finding a more nourishing blend of work and life ). 🌿 It will be followed by interactive session with plenty of time for networking with drinks and nibbles 🍷 I’ve popped the link in my bio 👆👆👆👆👆 . . . . . . . . #rdguk #inspiredbynature #biomimicrydesign #biophilicdesign #gaudiarchitecture #wildwellbeing #circulardesign #permaculturedesign #greenliving #ecodesigner #designnature#greendesign #sustainabledesign #regenerativedesign #generativedesign #berkshireevents #technicalnature #humannature #creativenature
