Squircle

Long description

We are unconsciously drawn to people who are more like us and, in a group, the unstated norm is usually to move towards consensus and closure over divergence. We want to challenge this norm and build a space where conversation and work are enhanced by each person’s experiences, perspectives and knowledge. We are five people: a medical professional from a small village in central India, a recent college graduate looking to bring people in sustainability together, a contemporary dancer with over two decades of experience now working with underserved sections of society, an entrepreneurial gaming app developer and a business graduate now working in conservation communication. What tied us together is a desire to be more in tune with our environment, and on this journey, we found the richness that working with diverse perspectives can bring. We find that our greatest resource is the relationship we have built and by extension we gain knowledge, connections and resources that would otherwise be beyond our reach. We envision a space for conversations without judgement or the pressure to agree and find ways to work together enhanced by complexity. With this philosophy to anchor us, we wish to co-create a circular community where we reimagine systems of living and nurture experimentation, collaboration and action. We will also chart out alternative designs on a personal and collective level.
