“We believe in a more creative and beautiful world inspired by a timeless quest towards the deep why, where everyone feels a part of something greater than themselves and has a deeper sense of meaning in life.”
Matt Gwyther, Neal Taylor and Jeremy Vey, founders of Ripplty.
Integrating the good, the true, and the beautiful.
Why Change is Needed
Our current trajectory — driven by materialism, individualism, and disconnection — has left us fragmented and disconnected from ourselves, each other, and the natural world.
Despite living in a globalised civilisation where technology grants us unprecedented capabilities, the rise of individualism and materialism as dominant societal values, coupled with the accelerating pace, complexity, and fragility of modern life, is disconnecting us from the natural world, from each other, and from our inner selves. This disconnection is threatening the environment, our communities, and our mental health.
We are in a pivotal era of human history, navigating the complexities of a convergence of interrelated crises. Our societal progression, while bringing remarkable advancements, has also led to unattended consequences that now demand urgent attention.
Today, we are confronted with a multitude of interlinked crises: the degradation of our planet’s health through climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion; economic instability and growing social inequality, which are exacerbating poverty, social unrest, and public health challenges; technological advancements that, unchecked by ethical considerations, are disrupting cultural values, privacy, and even the stability of life on Earth; and an information ecosystem overwhelmed by algorithmic manipulations, coupled with an educational system struggling to prepare individuals for rational and conscious living. Additionally, deepening societal divisions and geopolitical tensions underscore the urgent need for wiser approaches to the management of shared resources and a mutually assured prosperity for all countries and individuals around the world.
These interconnected crises highlight the need for a renewed focus on our relationships with ourselves, each other, and our world.
Overcoming these challenges will require us to be at the service of life and to commit to creating a more good, true, and beautiful future.
Our Call to Action
We stand at a crossroads, where the choice is between continuing along a path of disconnection and superficiality — either towards an increasingly dystopian future or the collapse of our world.
Alternatively, we can take a third path toward a more creative and beautiful world that nurtures humanity, values the natural wonders life has to offer, and serves the future of our children and the generations to come.
This is a call to reimagine our way of being, to step away from the superficial and materialistic values that dominate modern life and instead, embrace a path that prioritises creativity, connection, and meaning. By making meaningful connections, creating significant moments, and contributing intentionally to the good, true, and beautiful, we can begin to heal the fractures in our world.
The challenges we face are immense, but so too is our capacity for creativity, resilience, and transformation. The future we envision is one where life is infused with purpose and beauty, where each individual feels deeply connected to something greater than themselves. It is a future where our collective efforts lead to a more inspired and meaningful human experience.
As we stand at this pivotal moment in history, let us commit to this vision. Let us choose to live with greater intentionality, creativity, and purpose, knowing that our actions today will shape the world of tomorrow.
The time to act is now! Together, we can create a future that reflects the very best of our human potential, where life is not just sustained, but truly flourishes in all its beauty and significance for the generations to come.
How We Make Change Happen
Ripplty is a movement that encourages people to engage in sense-making, gain a shared understanding of reality, reconnect with what truly matters in life, and collaboratively realise creative solutions that can shape a more desirable future.
Through meaningful connections, meaningful moments, and meaningful contributions, we can transform the way we live and make that more creative and beautiful world a reality.
Make Meaningful Connections
Seek out and nurture relationships with those who challenge you to think differently, to broaden your perspective, and to deepen your understanding of the world. Engage in thoughtful dialogues, collaborate in shared sense-making, and join communities or create ones for people to connect, share wisdom, explore profound life questions and collaborate on meaningful projects.
Create Meaningful Moments
Don’t rush past the significant in pursuit of the immediate, but slow down. Visit places that connect with our human roots and the natural world. Embrace the power of rituals and ceremonies to mark transitions and celebrate life’s deeper meanings. Hold space with others, without the pressure of outcomes, to discover what emerges when we simply allow ourselves to be present.
Make Meaningful Contributions
Dedicate yourself to adding to the good, the true, and the beautiful in life. Whether through your creative work, your interactions with others, or your contributions to your community, strive to make the world a more poetic, wholesome, and beautiful place. Approach life with creativity and purpose, always seeking to inspire and contribute to something greater than ourselves.
