Our homes, neighbourhoods, and cities are deeply connected to the rhythms of time, yet they often fail to reflect or adapt to the fluid and evolving nature of human life.

How might a deeper understanding of our relationship with time inspire the creation of places that foster balance, resilience, and purpose? What if we could design environments that grow and evolve alongside us, accommodating the shifting needs of individuals and communities?

Can time itself become an intentional foundation for our aspirations, rather than an obstacle? Join us and our Lighthouse Fellows to explore these questions and reimagine time through the lens of design. Through shared insights, lively debate, and collaborative ideation, we’ll envision a future where time is not a source of stress but a cornerstone for thriving.

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 convene 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 CCD.

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!
