IndigeNouse: A New Old Way of Thinking Indigenous people have a profound understanding of their environments and have lived in relative harmony with nature for millennia, not only surviving, but thriving in some of Earth's most inhospitable environments. In order to help develop more efficient business practices that are compatible with the natural limits of a finite planet, IndigeNouse have developed a unique programme combining indigenous knowledge, Earth science, music, literature and art, which encourages participants to adopt a 'new old way of thinking'. Based on indigenous world-views, this 'new old way of thinking' is the result of many thousands of years of experience in building resilient communities in the face of natural hazards. Why? To make businesses aware that there is a better way of approaching business practice; one that is holistic, balanced and self-regulating. What?

An adaptable framework for business practice based on thousands of years of success in the most pressing of environments - surviving on Earth. Our innovative Five Fires programme challenges accepted wisdom and encourages participants to see the world in new ways. How? Through an understanding of indigenous worldviews and Earth systems and the application of this knowledge to business practice, IndigeNouse's 'new old way of thinking' is designed to get participants seeing things in new ways. Our interactive workshops, seminars and presentations will motivate and encourage your company to achieve profitability, efficiency and sustainability in ways that do not cost the Earth! IndigeNouse (a combination of indigenous and nouse meaning know-how; practical skills) is a consultancy born out of Kyle Maplesden's knowledge of indigenous art and culture combined with Dr Mike Edwards' expertise in the climate change and sustainability sector. Look to our past and we will find our future.
