Climate Existence: Beyond Future Forecasting

A session held by Ylva Björnberg and

Alexander Crawford⁠

at the

CEMUS⁠

conference

Climate Existence 2023⁠

Far Beyond Future Forecasting

What if, when the pile of insights gets so high, and the revelations run so deep, you discover that something completely unexpected lies beneath it all?

This session presents the story of two future forecasters who deliberately went on semi-sabbaticals. Some 100 walks and 100,000 words later, the evolution of insights took a distinct halt and fell off a cliff. Or down a rabbit hole? Taking off from a pearl necklace of data, this expedition moves beyond the mind and into Non-Ordinary Reality. Expect the presence of squirrels, oak trees, and seven horses on a field.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

How can we embrace the dismembered world, live meaningful lives and actively engage for better?

Herds of ice calves leave the Arctic never to be seen again – testifying that the graphs and numbers from climate predictions are realized in the world beyond papers and projections. While humans flee war and famine, and the political as well as the natural landscape shake beneath our feet – we meet in Sigtuna for the sixth ClimateExistence conference 2023. Having listened to the scientists we realize listening to them alone might not be enough – do we need to hear the ice howling too?

How can we embrace the dismembered world, live meaningful lives and actively engage for better? What are the emotional repercussions of this climate crisis and what lies behind the graphs and numbers signaling this catastrophe? What is yet to reveal itself and how do we differentiate between the stars and satellites?

CEMUS and the Sigtuna Foundation invite you to join us for an exciting ClimateExistence conference! We aim to be a meeting place between artists, activists, academics, faith practitioners and anyone interested in the existential aspects of climate.

The conference featured Stephen Jenkinson and Gregory Hoskins, Doughald Hine, Pella Thiel, Jan van Boeckel and Anita Goldman.
