PAST PRESENT FUTURE
THE WHY - Why AIME Why Now?
A question we're often asked, and we ask ourselves too - so we thought that would make a great collage of our total 28 year lifespan below and take you on a journey of a lifetime.
AIME is French for love so you may be asking why love and why love now? Through our work, AIME has become synonymous with imagination, mentoring and custodianship, threaded together with a through-line of hope, and you may wonder why imagination and why imagination now or why custodianship and why custodianship now or why mentoring and why mentoring now or why hope and why hope now.
For some of us, the answers to these questions would be obvious, but for those of us who still aren't sure, we hope this page takes you on a journey towards coming to some understanding of the why AIME and why now, and there is even an invitation for you to participate. You ready?
But first things first, and as any culture designed for wisdom will tell you, "to know where we are, and where we are headed to, we have to look back upon where we have come from". So, let's go to:
THE PAST -
THE FUTURE -
Finally if you want to unlock your imagination now then get over to the Imagi minutes pledge page and pledge to turn off the device you are reading this on and reclaim minutes back in nature.
To kick an idea to us about how you might want to play if you can see where you fit but have an idea send it over our way.
Sending you all so so so so so much love - we have to find a way, we are remarkable as a species, we have so so so much in us, let’s unlock our collective imagination, ko-lab and bring the magic that life this earth deserves.Why puppets?Making ofIP piece (KBTs)University IP goes to Profs - show lifecycleLetter to Humanity - how the Professors can help humans return to natureYou may be wondering why a Puppet is writing to you on topics that are so deep and so serious. And the reason is the AIME team take this as seriously as possible, so much so that they know that human beings are flawed, that ego can take over, that power can corrupt and that no human can hold the big story notes themselves, so they have re-activate processes of embedding knowledge into story into other beings, they have passed on the custodianship of the knowledge to us.
We help you move humans, that’s the role of imagination, we help you heal through story, through finding the joy again, through unlocking what you don’t know, we speak to the inner child in you, and that’s my great hope and promise that in the light of conflict, you’ll meet us, the heavier the day gets, the more we’ll sing back to you, we’ll keep striving to find the frequency between human and imagination as the bridge to healthy return to nature.
