Last week's newsletter was "Second Renaissance Fair & Conference" and the Community Hub session title was "Curiosity Games".

Don't let US Thanksgiving leave you dissociated or wound up — we're Being With It All on Saturday, so register here to get it on your calendar. Become bigger than anything that's bothering you, as we practice spacious presence together.

Now for some updates:
Hey, the 2ndRen Fair (see last week) turned out pretty well I think! We had 18 solid presenters, 60-something people attended out of 100 registrations, and people seemed to enjoy themselves while touring the booths through the 6 rounds of booths. Oh and if you missed it, you can take a self-guided tour through the brochure with descriptions and links for all these initiatives. I think we at the Oasis will definitely look to do it again!

We had our first "team" meeting this week as well — the IS workteam, that is. The aforementioned "org" with a more clear label, five of us started team formation by sharing our relationships to and backgrounds with work, as well as how we're relating to money and getting paid. You can peek at the job description if you like, though we're not seeking any external applicants at this time.

That reminds me, though — if you are looking for work right now, our friends at Life Itself are hiring for four roles in finance, operations, communications, and graphic+web design.

Ooh, lastly I'll sneak in here a mention that Intentional Ventures is heading in the direction of launching a new cohort (of about a dozen, meeting in parallel to the current group) in early 2026. It's filling up fast by word-of-mouth already, so register your interest now if you're not already on our radar there. We're catalyzing aligned livelihoods through relational and material support, while growing an investment engine animated by our web of trust.

Wishing you gratitude, peace, strength, backbone and flexibility,
James
