Plurality is our strength.

A Wellbeing Economy is not built through a single approach, but through many—activists, policymakers, business leaders, artists, educators, and communities all contributing in their own way. The key is staying connected while honouring our differences.

This WEAll Talk explores how we resist fragmentation while embracing plurality, with guest speaker Hajar, a storyteller and ecosystem weaver dedicated to uniting movements for transformation.

We’ll explore:

  • How to bridge silos and unify movements
  • Why connection is a radical act of resistance
  • How weaving relationships can birth new economic possibilities

The old systems are unraveling. We feel it everywhere. But change doesn’t happen in isolation. This conversation is for anyone working for change—activists, policymakers, business leaders, educators, artists, and community builders.

We don’t need to be the same to move in the same direction.
Let’s weave something stronger, together.

Join us for an important WEAll Talk exploring how shifting our economies means evolving away from toxic masculinity and patriarchal norms.

Happening next week Wednesday- Register below

In a moment of information overload and existential crisis, we’re in need of wisdom more than ever to help us make sense of how to be the change we wish to see in this world.

Join us for this special WEAll talk hosted by Amanda Janoo who will be facilitating with two prominent Elders in the Wellbeing Economy Movement, Stewart Wallis and Pedro Tarak, as they share their personal journeys, insights and advice on how to live in integrity within systems that encourage and reward big-ego’s and competitive mindsets.

This WEAll Talk has been a long-time dream for Amanda as she describes Pedro and Stewart as embodiments of “evolving away from anti-patriarchy” and illustrative of how we can all challenge toxic-masculinity (regardless of our gender) by leading with compassion, care and humility.

When and where: This coming Wednesday, 2nd April at 3.00pm UTC

You’ll get to hear from the wonderful editors: Marie Briguglio, Natalia V. Czap and Kate Laffan

This is your chance to be part of the conversation, bring your own reflections, and feel inspired by what’s possible when we design economies for life, not just profit.

We’re gathering tomorrow for a very special WEAll Talk – and you won’t want to miss it.

This month, we’re celebrating the launch of the new open-access book:
“Wellbeing and Policy Evidence for Action”
featuring 41 contributing authors from 18 countries!

As wellbeing becomes a more explicit policy goal around the world, the need for credible, action-oriented evidence is growing. This talk will explore insights from the introductory chapter and appendix, which offer both a big-picture overview and practical takeaways for policy-makers.

It also explores policy frameworks from diverse countries including Bhutan, New Zealand, UAE, Finland, Canada, Australia, Japan, and others.

Hello there dear friends,

Thank you so much for joining us at the July WEAll Talk and the official launch of the book:
Wellbeing and Policy: Evidence for Action

We’re so grateful to our amazing speakers and contributing authors, and to our wonderful host @Lisa for guiding such a rich conversation. And of course, thank you to everyone who attended and brought your energy, reflections, and questions!

Hello dear WEAll friend,

In a world addicted to speed, erasure, and exploitation, what does it mean to resist with beauty, dignity, and craft?

In our August WEAll Talk, activist and storyteller Pushpanath Krishnamurthy takes us on an extraordinary journey through his new book The Unreasonable Transformers of South India.

Walking over 500,000 steps, Push met weavers, carvers, dyers, and women artisans, unreasonable changemakers reviving the soul of India’s handmade economy and defying the market’s violent one.

This is an invitation into a living Ahimsa (non-violent) economy, one that honours ancestral knowledge, slows down time, and restores dignity to labour.

From toy makers breaking the chains of bonded labour to basket weavers whose fingers carry whispered histories, these are stories of resistance and rebirth.

Date: 19 August 2025 (Next week Tuesday!)
Time: 1:00pm UTC / 6.30pm IST
Online, via Zoom, with English–Spanish interpretation

Join us for the next WEAll Talk! :ocean:

Happening on Tuesday, 9th September at 3:00 pm UTC

Topic: Blue Moral Economy: When Sufficiency Meets Seawater: Building a Blue Moral Economy

The wellbeing economy movement can’t end at the shoreline. This conversation introduces the Blue Moral Economy framework: a bold approach that blends ethical imperatives from diverse faith traditions with regenerative marine practices.

We’ll explore:

  • How faith, finance, and ocean wellbeing are deeply interconnected
  • What it means to redirect $7 trillion in values-based capital toward restoration
  • Community-centred marine initiatives putting regeneration before extraction

This is a chance to dive deep into how our shared values can reshape the future of ocean economies and how the WEAll community can help carry this movement forward.
