Happy eclipse y’all 😎
Spring is blooming hard over here:
Embodied Ethics course is filling up with incredible folks in this broader ecosystem, hungry for deeper conversation and engagement around questions of initiation, accountability, and what it means for human beings to truly embody knowledge. Check out the Info Session Recording we did last week in case you missed it.
Meanwhile, several of us co-hosted a panel called What Is Wise Innovation? at Limicon (a conference for those “in the web”) that left attendees buzzing with belonging and potentiality. Get in touch if you would like to watch to the recording.
Each day, I’m connecting with many of you holding different pieces of the puzzle, planting seeds and weaving threads. There’s a tangible energy of possibility in the air.
🔥 Show & Tell: Thursday 1 - 2pm PST
Per the intention to experiment with different Office Hours formats, I’ve been imagining more opportunities for people here to share what they are working on (vision, tensions, etc), invite feedback and support, and explore synergies. i.e. some good old fashioned Show & Tell (with a purpose!).
This Thursday April 11th from 1 - 2pm PST, we’re excited to welcome Alja Isakovic and Mathew Mytka from Tethix, a social impact venture dedicated to helping people (re)imagine and create technology that enables collective human flourishing. When we connected last summer, I was stunned and inspired to learn that there were organizations offering this kind of work in the world, crafting tools and narratives that close the ethical intent to action gap in product development.
Alja and Mathew will talk about their ETHOS app as a responsible tech journey companion, and Elemental Ethics: a different type of ethics framework that relies on nature-inspired metaphors and familiar stories to make ethics interesting, fun, accessible, inclusive, memorable, and practical.
