Why Weird Nest

To deeply inspire, catalyse new, unexpected relationships and ideas. The power to bring incredible people together and deeply enjoy time to experience something unexpected that makes you reflect. The necessary joy of vulnerability and the desire to share it. The power to express the otherwise inexpressible to grow understanding and empathy. Cathartic. The discovery of new capabilities, opening vast new possibilities for the future through a social transformation to curiosity, care and respect. The joy of discovering the meaning of nature, your power, your joy, and the delight in the sharing of all three. The search beyond our frontiers for a better way of being. The excitement of invention, striving to make new pathways for diverse people and ecocentricity. The value of enjoying the moment with all human and non-human beings around you, becoming mindful of the entire possibility of your senses and perception. The joy of finding friends, even if they’re really different to you.
