Moral Imagination and a New Kind of Change - Accidental Gods Podcast

Interview on Accidental Gods Podcast with Manda Scott (July 2020). What Humanity Wants? Moral Imagination and a New Kind of Change with Phoebe Tickell

"Phoebe Tickell is embedded in, and embodies the new sense-making and change-making of the world. Founder of Moral Imaginations and facilitator of Radical Collaboration, Phoebe works in fields as diverse as philanthropic funding at the National Lottery Community Fund, innovative governance models, holistic science curricula and the convening of courses on deep systems thinking.

Here, she explores the nature of reality, how ‘Warm Data’ and a systems approach can help us to perceive the world as it is, as a necessary prerequisite to embodying the change we need to be. She discusses patterning and the development of flies, language and how to grow it into what we need and the psycho-technologies we need to make the best decisions possible in a world currently in systems melt.

Imagination Activism: Exploring Radically Better Futures - Accidental Gods Podcast

Interview on Accidental Gods Podcast with Manda Scott (July 2022). Imagination Activism: Exploring Radically Better Futures (and Solarpunk) with Phoebe Tickell

What are the most effective tools we can engage to create new, different, better futures? How do we translate our visions of a generative future into action now? What are our bridging tools, that exist now and take us forward to a world that would work for all of us?

Phoebe Tickell is an imagination activist, renegade scientist, systems thinker and social entrepreneur. Originally trained as a biologist (she has a first class degree in Biological Natural Sciences from Cambridge University), she now works across multiple societal contexts applying a complexity and systems thinking lens and has worked in organisational design, advised government, the education sector and the food and farming sector.

In all of this, she took time out to talk to Accidental Gods about the nature of the present moment, how we can find the learning tools that will bridge to the future we want to envision, and how we translate those visions of the future into values. In a wide ranging, inspiring, edge-walking conversation, she explored the balance of inner and outer worlds, tangible and intangible and how we might connect them; she talks of falling in love with Solarpunk again (her Twitter handle is @solarpunk_girl, so that feels quite huge), having read that ‘Solarpunk without the end of capitalism, is just greenwashed CyberPunk’. So we explore what cyberpunk is, too, and Protopian writing, and how it relates to Thrutopian writing, before we move onto the nature of existing Solar Punk communities and how they frame their underlying values.

Systems change, Courage, and Apocalypse (Interview on The Future Is Beautiful Podcast)

Interview on The Future Is Beautiful Podcast with Amisha Gadliali (July 2019). Systems change, Courage, and Apocalypse | Striving to be Consistent in an Inconsistent World:

“In this episode Amisha meets complex systems designer, social entrepreneur and educator Phoebe Tickell. Together they explore what it means to bridge several different ‘worlds’ in your work, facing the paralysis that can come when faced with complex crises, and how to connect with our ‘soul work’. Phoebe speaks about the pressure on individuals to hold the responsibility for planetary change, and why the focus must return urgently to changing systems.”
