Welcome to Flourishing Futures Collective

women telling stories of flourishing futures to create transformational change

About the Flourishing Futures Collective

We’re on a mission to close the green and greening jobs gender gap.

We tell stories of flourishing futures, with us in them, to build essential entrepreneurial and innovation skills, so that we’re the green talent catalyzing transformational change in communities to create regenerative solutions today.

We Tell Tales

The Flourishing Futures Collective is a bit like a book club…but we’re the ones creating the stories of flourishing futures that we want to turn into reality.

We don’t stop there though.

We use those powerful imaginings and bold explorations to bring new ideas and insights and perspectives to our beloveds, friends, families, communities and workplaces.

Our stories inspire, empower and motivate ourselves and those around us with new narratives and beliefs so that we take to create flourishing futures for all.

What Stories Will We Create?

Inner Stories

There are our inner stories, the narratives within us that guide us ever-forward, that unlock our purpose and passion and courage for taking action.

Outer Stories

And then, there are the outer stories, scenarios of futures that reveal threats and opportunities, challenge our assumptions and outdated perspectives, enabling us to see – and do – differently in the present for positive impact.

Why join the Flourishing Futures Collective?

We live and love in a volatile and uncertain world.

As women, we are already experiencing greater vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss in our daily lives. Gaps in access and equity are widening. The green jobs gender gap grows every day. 

With so much change happening, we can feel stuck, exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, even outdated and obsolete.

We can feel uncertain about where we fit in: even question whether to continue.

It often doesn’t feel safe to be visible and vocal.

Let’s Be the Hope

As women, being a changemaker is the essence of who we are.

We have the most incredible ability to step into our power and create new paths that lead to flourishing futures.

It is time to renew our place in today’s world.

To raise our voices in healing ways and be heard.

 To bring awareness of our interdependence with Nature, to inspire incredible, aligned solutions.

Our Mission

We are on a mission...

to close the green - and greening - jobs gender gap globally.

Using foresight as a green skill, we want to create and tell stories of flourishing futures that are so powerful and so wide-spread that we accelerate transformation change for doing things differently and create flourishing futures. 

Every time we explore using futures thinking and foresight, we are building our entrepreneurial and innovation competencies, so that we are the green talent leading the way in regenerative solutions for our economic empowerment and that of our communities.  

Our Vision

To be a global movement of women,

closing the green jobs gender gap over the next 10 years, by catalyzing our communities using futures thinking and foresight. 

We Are Futurists

As women imagining and exploring flourishing futures, we are futurists.

We boldly get there early to bring new perspectives, catalyze new ideas and solutions and guide our communities to shape futures that are nature-centric and nature-connected.

When we use Futures Thinking to step into our power and feel safe in raising our voices and being visible in our creativity, we bring transformation to our own and other people's lives, businesses and communities.
