What might be required for us to inhabit a present defined by crises and collectively imagine a hopeful future? This paper explores some of the ways in which the dominance of crisis framings in contemporary life might shape our ability to ‘imagine together’, and identifies a burgeoning body of work aligned with the concerns of spiritual ecology, that endeavours to cultivate the field of our collective imagination as an act of deep meaning-making. I identify a set of interlinked themes or qualities that resonate throughout and animate this work, and argue that these may gesture towards ways of cultivating spaces rich with imaginative potential to enable us collectively to imagine ‘beyond crisis’. These include a recognition of the ways in which Western scientific modernity continues to shape spaces of imaginative possibility; a resurgence of contemporary animism and a ‘re-membering’ of humans in broader kinship with the animate earth; challenges to temporalities of crisis; the honouring of emotions such as joy, hope, and grief; and the reconnection with somatic wisdom and ritual.
