“It’s just like unraveling a tangle when you don’t know where the knots are, and you don’t know what the web looks like. But as you work on one section, it is connected to everything.”
~ Kamailelauli’I Rafaelovich
The strands of our world are composed of our individual differences and collective experiences, woven together in ways that can seem too complicated to grasp. While it is tempting to surrender in the face of these complexities, understanding our world requires us to confront the knots in our everyday existence and detangle our perception of reality. To do so, the first steps are showing up and creating spaces for shared innovation.
By nurturing our joint efforts, we can succeed in making the chaos comprehensible and harnessing the power of our newfound understanding. Join us in our quest to unravel the complexities of life and weave the fabric of our future!

My Heart is a knot in Motion talks about entanglement. About knots, knot theory, networks and nets. About how every knot is an intentional complication that is whole in itself. About the connection it creates. My Heart is a Knot in Motion talks about threads we follow and that we pass on to tell stories and how these stories shape the world. And about tying tight knots, about becoming entangled, about networks that are not about structure and technology but about safety, care, and love. About nets of (interspecies) solidarity and connectivity that we cannot allow to unravel. That we need to weave these nets tighter so that not another single knot will slip. And about legendary great man cutting knots with swords. Great men that we need to overcome and swords we need to bury so that these swords may fossilize. So that we can tell new stories, not about great men, not about swords, but about nets that can catch, contain and carry. Because these new stories can create new worlds.
Worlds for us to live in.
