Futures
are us
Empowering Gen Z
to become other-wise
in an embodied way
This Initiative
Since 2015, I have been birthing curious events, transformative learning journeys and engagements for positive change, including radical health
change in mental healthcare, youth empowerment in refugee settlements in Uganda, leadership & activism, new scientific research in conscious connected breathing, making futures possible in the midst of systems collapse.
Futures Are Us offers the starting points for engaging with education in other ways we know are possible, supporting the mental health and wellbeing of emerging adults in service of life.
The concept is simple yet radical: Open up what's already within you.
With students and teachers, we move through experiences like breathwork, somatic movement, sound, and collective contemplative exercises in a powerful way to reconnect with yourself and others. Through this we can catalyze new ways of seeing and learning how to learn that will develop a new set of shared values and capacities adequate to the needs of our time.
I am energized to bring experiments, practices, and creations to life that will come forth from this new endeavor.
WHAT IF?
What if education could contribute to the health of emerging adults with experiential dynamic practices?
What if our places of learning oriented away from learning about the world in order to act upon it, to learning to become with the world in- and around us?
What if we can we open and listen to what is alive and emergent, and integrate it into our daily practices?
What if we would spark more opportunities for people to experience the depth and mystery of life, to be in better service of all life?
What if we can we learn from “other worlds” to enrich all our worlds?
What infrastructures are needed – in terms of space, money, institutional setups, skills and expertise, and more?
Re-imagining
education as health.
Open Up is sowing the seeds of a new education because it is too late to educate in the ways we know how. We are re-imagining education as health, and aim to empower younger generations from the inside out, to participate in creating a wildly better shared future. Disrupting modes of perception, relationship, and responsiveness by opening up the notions of the world we breathe, shape and create together.
How do you imagine society could look like? Is this the best future we can build together? We must do better. Send me a message

What I offer
I facilitate & develop science based conscious breathwork experiences to open and expand life in a natural way where people experience a shift in their perceptions of reality; cognitive, intuitive, and emotional. This is the place where new possibilities for living & being open up. This is where I also wish to co-generate new practices through theory, conversations, art and ideas.
Open Up acts
as a portal
Every one matters
Other intelligence is needed
Learning differently is a shared journey
The call to revolutionize schooling is not so much an attempt to create a new world, as it is an invitation to lean into the mystery of the world that now is, and re-engage with it. – Bayo Akomolafe
Open Up asks us to do this work. I am looking for collaborations teachers, and universities, and schools who are open to explore other forms of knowledge and to investigate how they function, and how they fall into dysfunction.
