Moral Imaginations is an imagination-based pedagogy to shift worldviews and deeply held narratives, connect to pre-existing intrinsic values, expand identity and foster connectedness. Imagination is used to confront and disrupt deeply held beliefs about what is possible, how change happens, and the role we can play in shifting paradigms.

Participants are guided through exercises that unleash creativity, expand thinking, and help them ‘see through the eyes’ of past ancestors, future generations, and an expanded present-day community, including the more-than-human world. Their approach centres on the belief that all meaningful and moral forms of action begin in imagination, attention and perception,and these are muscles that can be expanded, trained and channelled towards the good of the whole.

The methodology offers awareness-based, ontological techniques, as well as practical tools to translate this imagination into action. Moral Imaginations has been used to train ‘Imagination Activists’ in governments, corporations and non-profits with the aim of quickening the transition to a life-centric society.
