(Added last) I notice I'm embarrassed to ship a meta-newsletter today, but not enough to delay further. In this newsletter context, I try to keep it under 500 words and with minimal polish, so it is what it is and you can know it's authentic.
Come join us in "Being With It All" on Saturday; I believe it will continue to be a very rewarding experience! We love welcoming folks in the community space on Sundays too, all it takes is the member application form. Now, skip the rest below unless you want self-referential reflection. 😜
I've had great conversations today, and throughout this week, and have also advanced my thinking significantly on "designing spaces for multiple layers of relational intimacy." So much so that I've had some thoughts about what sort of focus or hermit mode it would take to get myself really writing more seriously. I'm noticing that getting my thoughts out and distributed seems more important now, and/or an unblocking force, for some combination of me, Intentional Ventures, Intentional Society, Second Renaissance, and other collaborators. I'm feeling quite out of the habit of long-form writing thoughtful writing, though, in part because there are so many conversations and live connections making up such a rewarding and substantial part of my days!
Too much to contain in the margins of this meager note. Come BE with us for a much richer experience! What I wish for you today, though, is that you may attune to the longings of your heart - longings for internal and relational integrity, intimacy, love, and meaning. May you sense your deep values and move toward them in tangible ways, flowing with confidence and conviction and lightness and openness.
Cheers,
James
