What Fire Teaches Us About the Future
Earlier this year, I facilitated a session with a group of fire protection practitioners using the Dreams and Disruptions Game, a participatory futures method developed by the Center for Engaged Foresight. As an Adjunct Faculty member of the Philippine Public Safety Academy, I have been bringing foresight games into professional development and learning spaces where it is rarely used — and fire protection, it turns out, is one of the most fertile grounds for this kind of work.

Making the Future Playable: Inside the Dreams and Disruptions Game
I'm excited to share that my article, "Dreams and Disruptions: Gaming Anti-Fragile Futures," has just been published in World Futures Review. This piece represents years of work developing and refining a foresight game that's been played in over 200 sessions worldwide—from military strategists and policymakers to youth activists and indigenous communities.

Who Gets to Imagine the Future? How Futures Games Are Democratizing Tomorrow
Over the past five years, I've facilitated more than 250 sessions of this futures game across the globe—from classrooms to community centers, from youth workshops to corporate boardrooms. And in that time, I've witnessed something profound: when we create space for diverse voices to co-create alternative futures, we're not just planning for tomorrow—we're transforming who gets to shape it.
