A Short Update on Perspectiva Activities
Realising its time for a break, and other things soon to be realised.
I wanted to let our supporters know that Perspectiva is taking a break from all our direct contributions to The Realisation Festival this year, 2026. I am sure it will be another great event, and you are warmly encouraged to buy tickets here.
One practical implication is that Perspectiva’s Realisation Fellowship Programme will not be available this year. The Realisation Foundation CIC will instead provide bursary places at the festival. Announcements about that will be made soon on the festival website (soon to be renewed) and by email to the festival mailing list.
After over half a decade of incubation and the combined intellectual, creative and operational efforts of several people, the festival is well-established, with a structure, ethos, and rhythm that feels like a dynamic equilibrium. I am grateful for a break from this aspect of Perspectiva’s work, while the charity focuses on several other projects.
To give some indication of what else we are up to, There We Are Human Again by Carne Ross, an extraordinary story about a diplomat who became an anarchist, is coming out before summer, and two other titles are scheduled for publication later in the year. We are also working to make it easier for others to host the antidebate, and we remain eager to initiate other ambitious innovations in socio-spiritual practice. 2026 is also an inflexion point for Perspectiva’s contributions to the Emerge network, and we will be working with partners on a major new educational media initiative.
So please stay tuned for all of that, and more. And in the meantime, buy a ticket!
Jonathan.
