Seismic Questions is a co-created book project and emerging dialogue tool with the intention to challenge dominant narratives and invite deep questioning as a practice for transformation. It seeks to offer ways to live into complexity rather than rush to solutions, a shift urgently needed in systems change. 

It is an open collaborative call, seeking to weave a community of practice, inviting radical honesty, open inquiry and imagination grounded in the collective ability to live Seismic Questions. Seismic Questions are the kind of questions that open up new, previously unimaginable realms of possibilities. They are questions that can't be answered; only through living and embodying the questions will new pathways open up. Seismic Questions are, for example; 

- What is wealth? 
- What if we learn how to speak whale? 
- What is enough? 
- What is home? 
- What if we learned to listen to the calls of Mother Earth? 

In the book, we are gathering questions and lived experiences that will be shared by a community of co-authors and contributors. Followed by a wide array of tools, methods, poetry and artwork that enable the reader to hold space for Seismic Questions in themselves and in community. 

The collective imagination practice community fund enables us to design, organise and facilitate Seismic Question gatherings and test various facilitation techniques within communities of practice.
