Love is the answer. Philosophy is the practice. Paradox is the portal. 

Conversations beyond traditional bounds with Andrea Hiott. Holding paradox. Bringing together the patterns that connect. Building philosophy out in the open. Respecting traditional divisions while illuminating the world beyond. Consider this a community project.

By love and philosophy we mean the people, passions, and ideas that move us, shape the trajectories of our lives, and co-create our wider landscapes.

Love is the answer. Philosophy is the project. Paradox is our embrace.
