Maps To The Future – Scriptorium of Nature
Manda Scott and Hazel Marshall
In this workshop we explore methods of imagining the future and turning our tracks towards it. We are not looking for places of utopia or dystopia, but simply somewhere we can believe in and start to move towards. These are words of love, hope and subtle activism, a trail of breadcrumbs through the dark forest for all to follow. This is Thrutopia.
“Let me keep my mind on what matters,
which is my work,
which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished”
Mary Oliver, 2006
Manda Scott
Manda Scott is an award-winning novelist, host of the international chart-topping Accidental Gods podcast and co-creator of the Thrutopia Masterclass.
Best known for the Boudica: Dreaming series, her previous novels have been short-listed for the Orange Prize, the Edgar, Wilbur Smith and Saltire Awards and won the McIllvanney Prize.
Her latest novel ANY HUMAN POWER is a ‘seismic’ Mytho-Political thriller which lays out a Thrutopian road map to a flourishing future we’d be proud to leave to the generations that come after us.
Welding the power of intergenerational connection to combat the sting of death and the vicious vengeance of a dying establishment, it opens the doors to a new way of being.
