In the face of the pandemic, people everywhere are waking up to the true size and depth of our multiple crises.
Many are talking about ‘bouncing back’ to our pre-COVID ways of working. But there is growing demand to dramatically move on from the system that led us into these crises, and to bounce beyond to a potential flourishing future.
Believing that the conventional economy is a key driver of these crises and that addressing people’s pressing need for livelihoods in ways that address the crises is critical, Bounce Beyond focuses on emerging “next economies”.
These next economies have been growing already in many locations and sectors. There is a real danger that in this crisis moment, their work will be swept away by old economic powers intent on resuming economic growth at any cost and ignoring its true cost to people and planet.
Bounce Beyond is a global community of people on the urgent journey to next economies through transformative practice and collaborative action.
We are co-creating a shift in our economic paradigm, with its current corrosive value and power structures, to one that supports the flourishing of all life.
At Bounce Beyond, we want to build a coherent, thriving and effective global transformation community that...

Multiple Crises xEmergence of Next EconomiesxTransformational Capacity=Unique Moment in Time
The synchronicity of these three factors presents a unique opportunity to accelerate next economies’ development as mainstream. The need is great, and the time to act is now.
"The present convergence of crises - in money, energy, education, health, water, soil, climate, politics, the environment, and more - is a birth crisis, expelling us from the old world into a new."

Our Values
Stewardship of the Whole
Connecting our care for the self, to the care of our community to the care of the planet. Each needs the others to thrive.
Wealth as Collective Value
There is no wealth without the dignity and well-being of all living things. No-one is secure in a gated community.
Governance of the Whole by the Whole
In the age of people power, the vital importance of relationship, deliberation and co-creation from the local to the global.
Learning from Nature
Never acting beyond our capacity to regenerate. There is no such thing as waste in a system that recycles well. Development means moving towards flourishing through diversity.
Relationship and Connectness
Every living thing has an inside and an outside. We are complex beings with material, emotional and spiritual needs. We are social beings, designed to get our needs met through being with others and in Nature.
Equity and Accessibility
Radical shifting into fair exchange between trading nations. Where natural resources need to be conserved, consumers must protect producers. There is no such thing as cheap labour: we all pay when workers suffer.
