in common

Created in response to the growing fear, anger, judgement and division evident in contemporary society, In Common reminds us that, though we have our uniqueness and individuality, we are one, connected and the same. In nature we see incredible diversity. Everything works in unity and symbiosis. But we don’t apply this to ourselves, feeling somehow separate to it. In Common works as a kind of soft activism, challenging attitudes of how we see ourselves, our relationship to others and our understanding of the nature of everything. We are encouraged to commune with nature and consider that we are in fact nature itself. Modern science has begun to understand what ancient cultures and spiritual beliefs have spoken of for millennia. That we’re part of a net of energy that pervades everything, meaning that we are made of the same elements and share the same energy of everything that makes up the universe. Thus we are connected to everything. Understanding this and being at one with nature can bring us peace and a sense of belonging, We realise that, because we are part of the whole, what we do to others and the environment around us, we do to ourselves.
