“I often encounter brave humans in despair who long for connection with others who dream about better futures. They are the kind of people who are working on the fringes - experimenting and responding to what is emerging rather than maintaining status quo.”

Sarah Patterson, Founder, The Good Cartel

What our community members are saying…

  • "Grateful to have spent the day with some wonderful, creative and inspiring people. Travelling home I felt a spring in my step and some joy in my heart. It was fun, interesting and enlightening. Thank you, Sarah for hosting and everyone who participated."

  • “Bringing creative and enthusiastic energy to the workplace can be a rewarding yet lonely experience sometimes. Having the opportunity to be inspired by other's, bounce ideas and discuss novel practices while also finding time to focus on my own work, was truly brilliant! I honestly feel I would have just spent the day staring at my screen at home and being unproductive - the energy of this group was amazing and helped me #getshitdone even better than I could have imagined by myself”.

  • "It's a simple yet oddly radical idea: carve out regular time to work on your passion project alongside others in a safe space and in a semi-structured way. The first GC Collective event filled my cup right up!"

  • "What an absolute privilege to spend the day chatting and working with like-minded hoomans... it definitely filled my cup, which only with the self reflection during the day that I realised I needed filling."
