How to Fall In Love with the Future
Wednesday, May 13 | 12:00-1:30 PM ET
Join Radically Rural and otherWise for a 90-minute online session with Rob Hopkins, renowned imagination activist and co-founder of the Transition Town movement. Rob’s work invites us to consider a simple but transformative idea: that vivid, sensory, grounded imaginations of better futures can sharpen our sense of agency right now – especially in times of uncertainty or erosion.
Together, we will:
- Hear Rob share insights from his newest book, How to Fall in Love with the Future (Chelsea Green Publishing, 2025).
- Engage in a collective imagination practice—a guided “Time Travel” exercise—to experience how imagination can function as a practical, effective, and even essential tool for local resilience, rural revitalization, and cooperative economic possibility.
- Dream forward with others invested in rural creativity, economies of vitality, and community-shaped change.
