IS: Each step ever more clearly
No IS events this weekend. Season 14 activities begin in April.
Like progressing through a fog, each step reveals more clarity. Like raising a building, each beam adds to the forming whole. Like growing a garden, each day unfolds new complexity. Welcome to the new Limicon subscribers, and here for us all is the crisp picture of the approaching season.
Practice Dojo
Dates for the upcoming Exploratory Practice Series are now set:
April 13, April 27, May 11, May 25, June 8, June 22
(2nd and 4th Saturdays each month, all starting 1pm Pacific / 8pm UTC)
Get access (and calendar invites) with this simple form. Everyone (including last season's participants and active members) should do this; no one is automatically subscribed. (And no, the first session invite hasn't gone out yet. Soon!)
Five likely teachers have been identified and are in schedule arranging. Do you have a suggestion for our sixth slot?
Communiting
This is a silly word which I'm using as a temporary placeholder after last week's "Community Commons" emerged from the Department of Redundancy Department. It points at something in the vicinity of community, commons, communitas, and communion. (Portmanteau-punning with "uniting" was apt but accidental.) Do you see a label that would be best?
Regardless of what label word prevails, this is the heart of Intentional Society that centers on the collective "we" that makes up the "us" of IS. Prospective members are welcome to apply here as we embark on our Season 14 communiting every Sunday. From this core space of accompaniment and peership we apply our collective perspective-taking, awareness-attuning, and sense-making in service of the "we" and of the whole system.
Here is an overly crisp diagram of that system, with the segment sizes vaguely correlating with the number of people involved:
Intentional Ventures
The initial vision document is being edited and sent out this week. Invites haven't even gone out yet and we already look "full" at the co-creator circle level. Ping me (reply to this email) if you want to be added to the waiting list. After the brief descriptions in the archives of the last three weeks, I anticipate that this space will go quiet to do the internal formational design work required prior to creating any legal entities.
May your week be vivid and alive. Cheers,
James
