Why “Drift Club?”

“The forces which displace continents are the same as those which produce great fold-mountain ranges. Continental drift, faults and compressions, earthquakes, volcanicity, transgression cycles and polar wandering are undoubtedly connected causally on a grand scale. ”

— Alfred L. Wegener

Alfred Wegener was the geophysicist, meteorologist & polar researcher who first proposed the theory of continental drift, which served as the foundation for the theory of plate tectonics. The name “Drift Club” was inspired by a secretive society of the same name dedicated to his legacy of climate research.

I see a similar connectivity between many different kinds of creators, innovators, and communities as he saw between the forces of nature shaping our world. The quote above has been helpful to me in articulating how I approach change, perceive & participate in personal and professional endeavors, and move through the world.

Perhaps by recognizing our relationship to each other as innate, regardless of variations in medium or locale, we can better serve each other as mutual support and inspiration, and see our work as part of a collective effort toward shaping ideal futures.
