🍂 Navigating Mysterious Times
Introducing (un)learning adventures, an invitation to evolve yourself, in community, in service to life on earth.
Greetings Earthling,
We hope this finds you ok in these mysterious times.
Welcome to the latest edition of our irregular newsletter.
Just in time for the descent into the colder & darker half of the year (in the Northern hemisphere), we are starting to seed out our new (un)learning adventures.
A culmination of much thinking, feeling, inquiring and prototyping into what’s being called for in these times of global unravelling and how we can best be of service.
becoming crew is a result of experimental & iterative collaboration between the basecamp crew of Dan, Mark & Evva .
We’re weaving together multiple methodologies, approaches, experiences, teachings and yearnings to create spaces to begin individual & collective transformation, in service to life on earth.
So if you’re also feeling the call to step through a portal, and into service to life on earth.
If you’re carrying deep questions about what happens through you,
Join one of our upcoming adventures.
Together we’ll cultivate our individual and collective capacities to navigate mysterious times.
To become active participants in co-creating the emerging future.
We are here. We are listening.
Dan, Evva & Mark

What if we must learn to feel our way into the future? - Dan’s invitation to evolve the ways we relate to the world in and around us, how we relate to life itself.
“I believe that our current ways of thinking and talking are part of the crises. These two dominant modes used to design, organise and maintain this civilisational story will never be enough to meet the complexity of the challenges coming our way. And for the transformations that we are being invited to step into.”
An invitation to trade growth for depth - Mark shares his thoughts on the ideas behind our upcoming Deep Winter Community Solo.
“ It is not that action and creation in response to these times is bad, but rather that growth without depth leaves an imbalance. A tree without roots is going to fall over when the storm comes. And there are plenty of them on the horizon. “
Body-based disobedience in service to life on earth- Evva inquires into how can our bodies become compasses for navigating these mysterious times of global crises.
“(…) it’s the embodied knowledge that emerges most loudly as a guide for these times. What starts off as a feeling; a pinch in the heart, a tensing of the body; a clenched jaw, a lump in the throat. A niggling little feeling, pursued, made space for and incited can become a compass for navigating mysterious times and for guiding us towards service to life on earth.”

A Kingdom beyond measurement
100 minutes exploring Gaian consciousness with Dr Stephan Harding and Dan on Episode 60 of The Spaceship Earth Podcast. Solid Grounding for some of the context we are working with through Becoming Crew.
Becoming Critical Yeast
On Being with Krista Tippet is an absolute gift for these times and a deep expansive source of much inspiration, wisdom and contemplation. This 15 minutes episode landed in our feed this morning and it felt so entangled with the spirit of Becoming Crew we want to share here. What if the change we seek will only come from the participation of crews of humans?
