What comes after
Join us through May and June (and beyond) for live events, courses and experiences that provide support for this moment, as well as explore ideas and solutions for what comes after.
Everything we thought we knew is collapsing. For many it collapsed a while ago. For others it never existed.
Which leads us to ask, what comes after and how can we contribute to building it? From the somatic and personal to the systemic and relational.
At The Portal - where anyone can join the conversation - many possibilities are emerging.
Through spaces and practices that hold us now, tools to plot what could come next and community to explore potential solutions with, we’re weaving together what we need to be resilient for a future that is fast approaching.
This isn’t a course to complete. It’s an experience to become a part of as we build a new world.
Together.
Together.
See what’s coming up soon...

Following Amelia's recent AI Series on Off The Grid, Keri Jarvis has found herself wondering - what did we learn from the trajectory of our relationships with social media that we might apply here?
How is AI accelerating the relational and cognitive de-skilling that's inherent to Capitalism?

How do we stay human in times of deep injustice?
How do we bear to live well and be in relationship with each other when every day we are confronted with horror after horror?

Touching the Threshold
Brian Morrison facilitates this mytho‑somatic* space for those who feel the exhaustion of separation, from their own body, from the people around them, and from any real sense of meaning.
This is a hearth to gather round. We weave breath, body and story together to acknowledge that you’re not an isolated problem to solve, but part of a larger web of relation.
Closer to Earth: Rebuilding our everyday relationship with the ground
Modern life has lifted us up and away - literally and metaphorically - from the ground that nourishes us. This offering invites participants to reconnect with the ground and their own bodies, blending cultural inquiry, movement practice, and personal reflection.
Mahta’s hope is to facilitate an experiential understanding of what it means - physiologically, developmentally, emotionally, spiritually and politically - to live closer to the ground, and why it matters for personal and collective liberation.

Samhlaíocht
Kate O’Dwyer leads Samhlaíocht, Irish for “imagination” - a ten-month, online practice space to rewild and reclaim our imaginations.
Dedicated to reclaiming imagination as a shared, political, and embodied practice and drawing on thinkers like adrienne maree brown, bell hooks, Staci Haines, Manchán Magan, and Rob Hopkins, it invites participants to dream beyond collapse and capitalism as a way of practising and shaping the futures we want to live into.

How we Sang the World and the World Sang Us
What if poetry is the echo of how we once sang to - and were sung by - the world and one another? What if it touches us so deeply because it connects us powerfully with that memory of home, and the grief of our homesickness?
Join Keri Jarvis and Tom Hirons for a conversation exploring how (real) poetry and activism are inextricably linked, and some reflections on raising boys (as we both are) in this era of modernity.
And so much more...
As we face complex and interconnected crises, we require spaces where we can practice how to meet them. In those spaces we are all teachers - there is no hierarchy and we all have something to contribute.
As an Experiencer you join The Portal for free.
Our community members at The Portal are ready to meet this moment of polycrisis with a culture of complexity, collaboration and care.
