Join Quentin for this time together, discussing When No Thing Works. In this time of collective acceleration—when institutions crumble, climate chaos intensifies, and polarization hardens hearts—Zen Rōshi and Native Hawaiian guide Norma Wong offers something different than solutions. She offers a way of being. Part poetry, part strategy, part spiritual teaching, When No Thing Works reads like sitting with a wise friend who sees both the falling-apartness and what's arising. With stories that spiral and return, with humor that lightens without dismissing, Wong invites us to:

Lift our gaze from urgent chaos to see the horizon beckoning

Move from "I" to "we" through breaking bread, sipping tea, sharing stories

Find the critical juncture (机) where change begins

Practice the leaps that collective transformation requires—not alone, but as "one and one and one"

Rather than offering answers, Wong opens doorways—showing us how to be at the threshold between a devolving world and an emergent one, how to hear what cannot be heard, how to move in the slipstream of these times with both urgency and patience. For those feeling the weight of "too much going much faster," for those seeking a different rhythm, for those ready to cocreate rather than merely resist—this book is invitation and companion.

"What we do with this, matters."
