Seismic Questions is a collective book project grounded in the need to live and embody questions that can change the way we relate to life.
Seismic Questions
Seismic Questions are the ones we rarely dare to voice, let alone live or embody. They shake the ground beneath our certainties. Too often, we stay silent out of fear: fear of losing our safety, comfort, reputation, stories, familiar ways of making sense , even our careers.
But now, we must move beyond the known. Beyond the lullabies of green promises and the illusion of silver-bullet solutions. It’s time to rewrite our past, present, and future, to question everything, to co-exist in confusion and disagreement, to meet each other through new doors and perceptions, to hold space for questions, conversations and learnings in a fragment world.
We need radical honesty. Unapologetic curiosity. A gigantic mirror to face ourselves, the humans blinded by the destructive promises of modernity, coloniality, capitalism, and neoliberalism , and to remember what it means to respect and nurture life.
Intentions of the Gatherings
During each open Seismic Question Gathering, we hold space for one question , one that is usually too uncomfortable, overwhelming, layered or uncertain to explore alone.
Together with the co-author who carries this question and is writing their chapter around it, we engage in an open conversation. We listen deeply. We inquire courageously. We let the question move us.
Seismic Questions Agenda

Every 4th Thursday of the month

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” - Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
