In times of unrest, reshuffling, and (re)alignment, on an individual, collective, and even cosmic level, we look for navigation, reasoning, and a new moral compass. Instead of staying in existing patterns for the sake of comfort and safety, how can we step into—and become—the unknown, balancing the edge and the precarious, tapping into our intuition, improvisation, somatic intelligence, and “doing beauty” to progress forward?<a href="https://houseofbeautifulbusiness.com/becoming-uncertainty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a>

For Residents only
To truly understand the systemic character of circular design we must widen our view—from user over human towards life-centered design. The systems around us evolve from a variety of interactions that are not only between humans and machines—they are between different organisms and machines, humans and humans, machines and fungi, humans and intangible entities, and so on. Designing for circular systems demands not only redesigning products and services, but also organizations, systems, and relationships. This is a recording of a two-hour interactive session hosted by our partners at Fjord, on circular business models, values, and behaviors, draft a future scenario, and ideate on organizational interventions to get ready for circular.

What exactly is a story? Is it a tale we tell for our own entertainment? Or a symbiotic life and art form that relies on us just as much as we depend on it?
