Imagine—Embracing Chaos and Possibility in a Planetary Emergency is not a conventional book or practical guide. It is an interdisciplinary collection of conversations, reflections, and contributions that explore life in times of global crisis—what some call a “planetary emergency.” Its purpose is to share diverse perspectives on today’s ecological, social, and cultural challenges and to create space for deeper inquiry.

The contributors include experts and practitioners from fields such as science, art, activism, ecopsychology, and systems thinking. Among them are Nora Bateson (systems theory), Vanessa Machado de Oliveira (decolonial education), Rudi Putra (environmental protection in Indonesia), Brother Phap Linh (Buddhist practice), and many others.

Rather than offering simple answers, this book invites readers to reflect, pause, and engage with the complexity of our current moment. It serves as a companion and archive of thought—encouraging new relationships with ourselves, society, and the planet.
