The Pathfinders

The tech industry likes to move fast and break things, starting wildfires left and right.

As responsible firekeepers, we invited wondering wanderers to stop feeding the wildfires. To look around. To look up. To start exploring the paths not so well travelled — together, as Pathfinders.

The pathfinding adventure ran from 2023 to 2025. The seeds it planted — the Newmoonsletter, the gatherings, the podcast — remain here for you to wander.

Are you a Pathfinder?

A Pathfinder is a curious soul eager to exercise their moral imagination. To explore the complex dance between technology, society, and collective wisdom.

In a world overflowing with conventional thinkers, a Pathfinder seeks to uncover overlooked perspectives, embody problem-spaces and foster discussions that lead to actionable insight for the betterment of humanity and our planet.

If you recognize yourself in this description, the paths explored here are yours to keep walking.

Pathfinders Newmoonsletter

Moonthly seeds of tech inspiration, 2023–2025

A companion on the pathfinding journey, the Newmoonsletter rose in inboxes under the New Moon – when the nights are darkest – to inspire collective pathfinding towards better tech futures.

Nineteen moons rose between October 2023 and April 2025. All of them are archived below and on Substack.

Full Moon Gathering

Gatherings around the virtual campfire

Under the Full Moon – when the nights are brightest – Pathfinders packed their exploration backpacks and gathered around the virtual campfire to discuss the lunacy of tech.

The gatherings have ended, but many of the paths they illuminated live on in the podcast and the Newmoonsletter archive.

As the moon starts waning, tune into a meandering exploration inspired by the seeds planted in the Newmoonsletter and the paths illuminated during the Full Moon Gathering.

Embracing the lunacy of tech

In an industry that feels increasingly erratic, we embraced its lunacy with smiles and love.

Pathfinders synced their monthly reflections and gatherings to the lunar cycle as a reminder of our place in the Universe and a commonality shared across timezones and places we inhabit.

The moon still rises. We hope that gazing up into the night sky inspires you to dream about different worlds and examine our current world from a different perspective.

In the embrace of Earth's timeless wisdom, we honor the Sacred Custodians of lands that stretch across Australia's vast horizons, and to the seas and communities that pulse with life. We extend a hand of respect to the wise elders who have walked before us and those who walk with us today, among the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our acknowledgment weaves further, to indigenous communities globally, whose lands cradle the veins of our interconnected digital world. We recognise the enduring echoes of the past and the ripples of the present that continue to shape the homes and hearts of these sacred peoples.
