Hi there,
Whew! Our first office hours was rich. Students and teachers, founders and ethics coaches, system thinkers and potential collaborators in this wise innovation initiative…
We touched on topics ranging from centering developmental practices across the ecosystem, to who and how to determine what is “wise innovation,” to visions for new types of residencies. I left with updated mental models, and gratitude for feeling so much enthusiasm for this complex topic 😌
So, let’s do it again!
Next Thursday | Feb 22 | 12-1:30pm PST
(alternating day of the week for accessibility).
Office Hours is an experimental virtual space for this ecosystem to come together, bring questions and ideas, and sense into what’s alive. Tensions you are wrestling with as a creator, visions you’re holding for innovation education, or curiosity about how this space is evolving. It’s all welcome. Including your lunch 🥙

🎁 Ecosystem Offerings
There are lots of wonderful events and experience on my radar. I’d like to start sharing a few with each newsletter:
Limicon | Part we-space, part choose your own adventure, part field-nurturing experiment, Limicon 2024 is an online container open from March 6th - April 3rd. I’ll be there, and intend to hold some of this conversation there too.
Parables of Change | There are a couple of spots left for artist and storyteller David Alder’s eight week siminar (a "write of passage") to tell a story, fill it with meaning, and share it with the world. David is one of a kind, and graciously supported me last summer in bringing to life the With Great Power essay!
Non-Violent Communication | Another inspiring friend Danny Cohen is offering his highly recommended Level 1 course in NVC this spring! He brings a rare integration of contemplative spiritual practice and wisdom traditions with trauma-informed therapeutics and practical tools for cultivating authentic human connection.
Is there something you’d like to offer? Reply to this newsletter or email help@wiseinnovation.school and we will consider sharing it in the future.
Much gratitude,
Andrew Dunn
