SEISMIC qUESTIONS
“Changing the answer is evolution. Changing the question is revolution.” – Jorge Wagensberg
SEISMIC QUESTIONS CAN CRUMBLE YOUR WORLDVIEW AND RADICALLY CHANGE THE WAY YOU RELATE TO LIFE ON EARTH
Seismic Questions?
Seismic Questions hold the potential to transform you and the way you relate to the world. They question assumptions, expand and shift worldviews, shift horizons and open you to unimaginable pathways beyond the status quo and your current reality.
Our Why
The transformative potential of Seismic Questions can only be fulfilled if we hold space for them. They are not questions seeking for answers, they are questions we need to live, explore, evolve. “What is enough?” “Who’s voices are missing?”, “What is wealth?”, are a few examples of questions we need to hold space for.
Intention
We are gathering question livers, space holders, community weavers and creatives to co-author Seismic Questions, a book filled with stories, exercises and tools to help you hold space for Seismic Questions in yourself and in community.

OPEN INVITATION
Seismic Questions is a fully co-created project stewarded by Joy & Minou. We are inviting you to help bring Seismic Questions to life. To hold space for differences in journey, headspace, time and energy we created three ways to collaborate.
Gathering
Seismic Questions
What Seismic Questions are you living? What questions are you blocking? How are you holding space for questioning? This is an invitation to share your lived and (yet) unlived seismic questions.
Sharing Lived
Question Stories
Are you living a seismic question? How has this question changed your way of living, relating, acting? How has the question evolved over time? How are you holding space for this question? Are you living this question alone or with others? How could you hold space for others to live this question?
Living a question is a deeply transformative and personal experience that can feel intimidating from a space of uncertainty and unfamiliarity. Sharing lived question stories can help others to start practicing the art of questioning and (un)learning.
Interested in sharing your seismic question story? Reach out to start the conversation.

Co-Author
We are seeking co-authors with experience in space holding, community weaving, nurturing imagination and guiding (un)learning journeys.
Together, we share tools, exercises, methods, and stories that enable individuals and communities to hold space for questions, transformations, and the unimaginable.
Interested in co-authoring?
Drop us a message, and we will to start exploring alignment and ideas together.

- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a young poet
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
to bring seismic questions to life
we are seeking
To bring seismic questions to life, we are exploring two pathways to publication, supported by a publisher or self-published, realized through crowdsourcing the capacities needed to publish a book.
Publishing House
Do you want to bring Seismic Questions to life?
Inspire and enable readers to hold space for emerging regenerative futures through questioning, (un)learning and imagination. This is not just a book, it’s an invitation, a tool, a portal to a constantly evolving constellation of (un)learners, change makers and (aspiring) regenerative stewards. We would love to hear from you!
Crowdsourcing Self Publishing Needs
“I have never tried that before, so I think I should definitely be able to do that.” – Pippi Longstocking
Last year, we formed a part of a self-published co-creative book project, and to say the least, we got hooked! One way or another, Seismic Questions will come to life. We seek contributors and collaborators who can help us realize capacities needed for self-publication: editing, proofreading, interior design, cover design, marketing and promotion. Do you hold one or multiple of these capacities and want to help bring Seismic Questions to life? We can’t wait to hear from you!
