The Pondering Nest is a gathering place and incubator for thinkers, writers and change-makers to share insights, sprout ideas and spur momentum for ventures that improve our human experience. 

We delight in uplifting inspiring thinkers who render insights  powerful enough to change us; to make us better as individuals, better in our relationships and better in our communities.   

We love words and ideas that inspire "Aha! moments"; 

that cause us to pause and search deep; 

that enlighten us to see new solutions with fresh eyes.    

We consider these eureka moments to be the special work of deep thinkers who see, write and lead from the soul. 

In tribal cultures, wisdom was openly shared around meals and bonfires, through ceremonies and dance, and while working side-by-side in routine acts of daily life. Insights flowed across generations. Everyone learned about life, throughout life, and into the afterlife. 

We have lost most of this tribal wisdom in our modern society.  Isolation is our primary modus operandi. As Thoreau aptly reflected: “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation".   

In communities, we need to rediscover and reunite around soulful ways of thinking, living and being. Written and spoken words, offered by insight-thinkers, have the power to guide us into better ways of being human and belonging together. Ideas, offered by innovative thinkers, have the power to get us unstuck and progress out of chronic problems. New ventures, lead by positive change-makers, provide roadmaps to better futures. These are our modern-day sources of wisdom. Let's chat around a fire and ponder better futures, together.
