A Kindsugi Future believes we’re ready to respond and adapt to this new cultural, economic and environmental era we’ve found ourselves in. Just like we’ve previously adapted (as best as we could, anyway!) to becoming a more sedentary society with the development of playgrounds, parklands, gyms and sporting clubs which help us to again meet our physical health needs; we can adapt again but with new forms of social infrastructure that mean we can respond to the emerging loneliness epidemic, and again meet our fundamental needs for meaningful connection, belonging and purpose.

We believe the power of kindness towards each other and the planet is a key ingredient in steering us back to more community-driven living, and where connection, belonging and purpose can thrive. The rapid changes in recent times, however, has changed our living and capacity so that we’re less able to access and carry out these important acts of kindness that we used to do, and which brought us together as a community. A Kindsugi Future is therefore keen to work out how to make those activities and moments accessible again, build up sustainable communities again, and bring us back to experiencing those deep and essential feelings of belonging, connection and purpose.
