About Ian MacKenzie

I’m a passionate artist dedicated to weaving visions of the possible.

I believe if we can’t envision a possible future that works for all life, we are more likely to hold on to the familiar, even when it’s clear it has become obsolete.

Over that last 15+ years, I’ve used a variety of media (film, writing, photography, podcasting) to amplify these seedlings of emergent culture, from the desert of Burning Man to the heart of Occupy Wall St.

Some people know me from my work like Sacred Economics, Amplify Her, and Lost Nation Road. More recently, I began exploring masculinity through The Mythic Masculine podcast, and I created a live series A Gathering of Stories, and co-founded The School of Mythopoetics.

My work spans the themes of activism, culture, and relationships, and emergence, as facets to understand the question: how might humanity reach a thriving future?
