To many, the scarcity of time in daily life is a source of stress, and in some cases creates a cycle of time poverty. Over-burdened routines exasperated by a culture of transit, poorly designed urban environments, and economic stressors are negatively impacting our wellbeing. How much of this experience can be mitigated or reversed by rethinking how we arrange and design our homes, neighbourhoods, and cities? 

Can the conscious design of our surroundings and daily rituals empower us to shape experiences that foster health, belonging and purpose?

How do we forge a new, healthier relationship with time?

More about The Lighthouse CCD Series

Asking a question is a provocation to observe, to inquire, to test, and ultimately to learn and unlearn. In this spirit we gather to collectively contemplate our trajectory as a society, to reimagine ourselves through our relationship with place.

Lighthouse events gather the CCD community to set a path of inquiry for the field of Conscious Design and the Conscious Cities Movement. The questions raised will be gathered and presented as points of departure for upcoming research, writing, and events at the following year’s Conscious Cities Festival.

At this 2025 Conscious Cities Festival edition of The Lighthouse we will be joined by a number of CCD Lighthouse Fellows who will deliver short talks that culminate in a question. Afterwards, all participants will be invited to smaller breakout rooms where everyone has the opportunity to connect and share their own provocations. Join us at this brightest of meetings!
