Hey all, whilst posing the big questions, great filmmakers Sam Wright and Kieran Ellis-Jones came our way to hang out. Tessa is there in spirit.. maybe in that dance party scene. Which yes, is a regular part of the Bureau working week.
Check it out.
From a moving plane.
Between the beauty and chaos of intense bureau ‘meetings’ of particular places, there is a little more time to look at the big picture. (I find the view from a plane gives you a rather broad scope..) Like in life, between meetings, we are sometimes more able to ponder the bigger questions that enter our heads. Maybe dwell a little longer, think of things from a different perspective. A friend of the bureau was musing earlier in the year what a difference it makes when you have a view of nature from your house to wake up to and contemplate before the day starts. It also seems that daylight, air quality and seeing stars really can shift our minds into new and more exploratory territory. Here are a few questions going around the bureau which we have no concrete answers to, but are always seeking to address. Please get your fresh air, natural view and sense of adventure ready as some of them are big ones.
What is art?
What is community?
What is engagement?
How do we forge true connections with each other as humans?
Is there anything more important than true connections with others?
If you have any more to add or some answers to the questions above, feel free to post them below.
Asking the big questions,
Yours truly,
The A.B.W.
The ABW hard at it on their latest assignment. Day 1 of a 3 day conference, at the end of which we will present our findings.
From the 7th – 10th of April we will be attending the 12th National Rural Health Conference in Adelaide. Over 3 days we will be meeting people, conducting worthiness research and presenting our findings at the final plenary presentation to around 1000 people at the Adelaide Convention Centre. We are excited to be part of this event and even more excited to further compress our rapid work model!
Here’s a link to the conference-
The A.B.W. received an invitation from the Falls Festival to attend their 2013/13 New Year’s event and report back.
Unfortunately, in this case, not all members of the Bureau were able to attend.
However, our intrepid, inimitable Emma Beech took on this adventure solo style, undertaking the task with characteristic determination and commitment. Here are some of her findings.

This is a little video summary of our wonderful experience in Goolwa.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Aloha blog friends!
Yes, there has been a little gap in output here. Rest assured that is only because we have been extremely busy with various other projects and consolidating our plans for world domination. Stay tuned for some juicy content soon!
