Dear fellow travelers,
As the end of the solar cycle approaches, we have been reflecting on the past and feeling into what the future might look like at School of Wise Innovation.
In 2024 we experimented with a course, workshop, camp, learning journey, meetup, online conversations, ecosystem development, research and more. It has been a spectacular experience to turn what was merely an idea last October to something starting to resemble an educational institution within a matter of months.
We uncovered answers to some of our biggest questions around wise innovation, while applying what weโve learned to the process of innovating on innovation education ourselves.
Through digesting the year and meeting with many of you, it seems like the natural next stage is to synthesize our offerings into a unified year-long wise innovation curriculum and sangha.
We want to welcome your support in crafting this experimental learning, practice, and wayfinding journey. That will follow the seasons to focus on Inner, Collective, Organizational and Product Development.
What does Life on Earth want innovators to learn and practice? When is the appropriate time of year to connect with those themes? Imagine with us by filling out this 5 minute survey:
๐ก10/24 Community Brainstorm
Join us next Thursday 10/24 from 3-4pm PT to hear more of our vision for a year-long curriculum and imagine the possibilities together. This event will be recorded and shared.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss playing a larger role in creating and delivering this novel curriculum. We are seeking several sponsors (individuals or organizations) to help us make something especially beautiful. You can always make a tax deductible donation here.
