Thrivable.org - equiping agents of transformation
Thrivable.org strives to equip agents of transformation in order to co-create a thrivable world. We reveal the breadth of domains and their interweaving. We enable thrive agents to know where they are and what they can do and be for collective thrivability.
Thrivability and our view of a thrivable world
Thrivability is our path out of unsustainable practices toward a world where all people have a high quality of life, a voice, and a nurturing earth supporting them. Using whole systems approach, we evolve our way of being together, of collaborating, so that our collective wisdom and action bring forth a flourishing world and thriving life. R. Buckminster Fuller, we believe, was right in stating: "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
We move from the defensive position taken by sustainability into the offensive - claiming the world we want to live in and co-creating it.
A thrivable world is a world we can live into, where dynamic tension of needs and resources supports the existence and evolution of life and consciousness.

"Thrivability is a good concept. We're in for a long transformation of society. It is not a 100 m race but a marathon. Endurance is essential. It is not sufficent just to sustain life. We need to keep the spirit up also. We need to thrive - people and planet." Niclas Ihren, Director, TÄLLBERG FOUNDATION
