I come to you not an expert but as an observer, as someone who has recently embarked on an unlearning, unknowing journey as a means of navigating the current civilisational unravelling unburdened by inherited mindsets and dominant paradigms. My contribution is to offer some provocative epistemic and process-related suggestions that you may wish to take into account as you embark on this timely Intergenerational Dialogue for Well-Being Futures.
