Break the pattern which connects the items of learning and you necessarily destroy all quality.

PatternWhichConnects.com is an online home of Jeppe Graugaard and weaves together some of my writings and online projects.

Re-membering began as a blog for reflections on my research on grassroots innovations, sustainability and ecology. I've published a series of interviews and conversations there, as it became a way to open up my research. Much later, it became home to some of my writings på dansk.

Kloden Kalder is an open source course I teach on global ecology and change. The virtual journey explores what is happening with the ice, the forests and the oceans and the module on sustainability and craft investigate alternatives to consumer society.

Refiguring is a text which is evolving from a place in my heart I didn’t know existed until I gave up hoping for the future and surrendered to it instead.

A lot of the material from the blog was used as empirical material for my doctoral thesis Transforming sustainabilities which is part theoretical excavation about understanding changes in worldviews and part ethnography of the Dark Mountain Project.

Time culture was a conversation and publication I cared for with a friend.

These days, I earn my living teaching courses which all in some way revolve around finding our way through life.

You can find an archive of the old version of this site where old diaries, music, links and musings still lurk.
