Second Renaissance Fair — Nov 25

A special edition Oasis this upcoming Tuesday at Noon Eastern:

​"Harken, nobles and knaves alike! Come witness the cunning changemakers and visionary organizations arrayed for thy marveling pleasure throughout many-splendored booths at the Second Renaissance Fair!"

The not-corny version: science fair, fair market, show-and-tell, and speed-networking all mix. Choose your own adventure: Six rounds, 10 minutes each, pick one of three rooms to attend in each round. Get bite-sized briefs about these 18 organizations and projects: ​Aletheia Integral Unfolding, ​Beyond Goals Intensive, ​Casa Tilo, ​EMUNAH ΛCΛDEMY, ​Ignition, ​Intentional Society, ​Leadership³, ​Limicon, ​Metachrysalis, ​Microsolidarity, ​Mythomatics Navigator's Guild, ​Orbital Studies Magazine, ​Pacific Integral, ​Resilience Relief and Recovery Reach (R4), ​The Resonant Man, ​Second Renaissance Magazine, ​Soul Coherence Studio, ​VillageCo

Should be some fun messy energy with 50+ folks registered so far for this free event.

In addition to James and Ola stewarding the Oasis, Intentional Society is one of the featured orgs, and there we'll preview: "After five years of developmental-relational exploration, Intentional Society enters a new era and launches a new work team serving the IS ecosystem and the Liminal Web (alongside funding commitment)."

This upcoming direction has so far been heard only in the IS Community Hub space, and now you can get a sneak peek and help shape the message.

Second Renaissance Conference — Dec 5-7

"Our world is in a moment of profound transition. The crises of ecology, meaning, and belonging are intertwined symptoms of a deeper civilizational turning. We invite you to join us, and leading-artists, practitioners and thinkers for three days of inquiry, practice, and collective sense-making."

Featuring keynotes by Rebecca Henderson, John Vervaeke, and Thomas Hübl, the conference is structured around core themes that trace the descent–ascent arc of the Metacrisis & Renaissance:

• Crisis of Meaning & Meta-diagnosis: Examining the deep cultural, psychological, and technological roots beneath systemic breakdowns.
• Paths of Renewal: Focusing on the contemplative, relational, and embodied practices that cultivate wisdom and resilience.
• Reweaving Knowledge & Art: Uniting science, humanities, and aesthetic insight into a more integrated way of knowing.
• Institutions that Sustain Life: Exploring how governance, economics, and collective design can embody values suited to a flourishing future.
