The Glorious 2030s

Eli Godde and Gaëlle Shearn facilitate The Glorious 2030s, a French-born conversational workshop that drops participants into a utopian future through guided meditation, three personal questions on a pocket-sized blue card, and oracle cards featuring real initiatives already underway today.

The Climate Business Challenge helps organizations link climate ambition with real business constraints instead of feel‑good wishful thinking.
