Voices of Emergence

In this episode of Voices of Emergence, we sit down with regenerative strategist and eco-linguist Thomas Mansfield, founder of Pale Blue and creator of Cards for Life and the Thinking Like Gaia framework. 

Thomas invites us into a living conversation about language, systems, and transformation—from addiction and spiritual awakening to co-designing regenerative cultures. We explore how language either contracts or expands our perception, and how Cards for Life functions as a “synchronicity engine” that rewilds not only our organizations but our very way of seeing the world. 

Thomas shares his journey from personal breakdowns to planetary purpose, weaving concepts from permaculture, NLP, and biomimicry into a beautiful new mythos of emergence.
