About Alice Chen, Founder
I have come to the edge of the world countless times in my life journey. I’ve stood on the cliff, looking out at the horizon, confronted with the magnitude of what I don’t know and the immense distance between where I am and where I aspire to be.
I’ve felt the overwhelm of not knowing how to make that crossing, the certainty that I’m called to make it, the fear that I might lack the capacity to do so, and the call to comfort over courage.
From these experiences, I’ve learned that what supports me (and us) in navigating these modern edge-of-the-world moments isn’t all that modern at all, but rather orientations, approaches, & practices that have guided discovery since time immemorial that we have forgotten, corrupted deemed irrelevant, or never been skillfully introduced to – things like observing, inquiring, listening, sensing, gathering, and playing.
Wayfinding Wisdom exists to help us remember and refresh our awareness around the simple yet timeless tools & truths we may have forgotten and to aid us in applying ancient wisdom in an increasingly complex modern world.
It’s here to provoke conversation & sharing around the universal questions of life navigation: What does it mean to be alive and at sea today? How do we build boats? Gather crews? Prepare & sustain ourselves for unpredictable journeys? Read currents & respond to changing tides? Sail? Identify guiding constellations? Begin again when our vessels are tossed & overturned?
Whether you’re an individual envisioning new horizons for yourself or a leader seeking change in your organization, whenever you find yourself in uncharted waters, Wayfinding Wisdom is here to sail with you.
