vis·cer·al/ˈvis(ə)rəl/
obtained through intuition rather than from reasoning or observation.
my experience over the last four years, very personal, very tangible to me, very do it -ish. i've been swimming in the limpic brain, free from the presumptions, that success comes from the neocortex.
i feel very privileged to have been and to be so privy to these happenings. i've gone in spaces i often can't explain.
they are about our why, freeing up people to have soul peace, but they are also feeding and informing that why. i feel a responsibility and an ability to share what we've learned, in a non-compulsory, yet completely open sourced manner. we feel we now know too much, of what people are craving, from these last four years.
such as:
{innov lab at tv}: actually taking kids into a space to listen to them without an agenda. how to you free them up?
rather than simply theorizing what it would take, experimenting with live people, failing, and trying again. learn: focus on self-reflection, self-assess, only you know what matters most to you. free to do that.
{be you house}: actually designing a space that models or mimmicks the web, and prototypes our vision of the city. how do you help people see how the web can free us up? [ny experience, like i was in the web] learn: focus on spaces (physical and mental) of permission, where does my freedom start, yours end, how do we crowdsource when our spaces align, and facilitate that.
{collaboratory, mile high pi in the sky}: actually crafting a kitchen table, a fireside chat, environment, in order to practice the art of conversation over the next year + with our people. alive people now. to incubate, curate, and share as convo becomes us. [suede exprience, like i was in the convo]
{buildings as resource}: actually revamping 3 (to 5) schools, so we have a model of an elementary building, a middle school building, a high school building, a community college, and a university. what they could become, if we dream together, without an agenda, other than freeing people up to be, and to create/become gatherings that matter.
i think these things will help us to build upon a culture of trust.. to build upon a common why. so that incentive and pay and rules don't have to interfere with doing something we see as priceless. no?
