About us
The Agency of Here is a small independent outfit exploring what it means to feel at home - and how to practise that in everyday life.
This Kit began with a feeling that “Here” is home.
We explore five ways into it: body, local, national, global, and cosmic, so we can find our footing, widen our view, and enjoy our place in the world. Or at least, stumble through with a bit more grace.
Miracles
The Kit of Here is not a miracle cure.
It won’t immediately make your neighbours (or you!) friendlier, your flat warmer, summon a shop or less litter to your high street. Although here's hoping...
But it can nudge you in the direction of finding a bit more harmony with your particular corner of this miraculous world.
The AoH glyph
The AoH glyph — five concentric rings - appears throughout the Kit. Each ring marks a scale of geographical life:
- Body (the centre circle)
- Local neighbourhood(s)
- Country-continent
- Global or planet
- Universe.
Each ring has a small gap: a reminder that we can move through these layers and explore each way here.
51%
In relating to each of these areas, and moving between them, we start to find our place in the world. And if we can feel 51% or more in harmony with each, we’ll feel pretty tip-top tremendous about where here is for us.
The Kit of Here is our first experiment in that idea: a limited-edition box of small, well-made things for the practice of being here.
It’s our offering to you. Just don’t eat the seedballs.
