Love this so much, I could definitely get lost in this world. Thank you for a great conversation at The Stoa yesterday. Excited to see where this goes!

Thank-you Tiffani and we're excited at how this evolves too.

I've landed at Second Renaissance / Life Itself through deep diving Systems Change research, and I'm delighted to see several intersections on this map with my own direct life experience (namely, spiritual & contemplative traditions, personal healing, critique of power & ethical tech).

I'm a recently hired Systems Change & Healing Justice Facilitator out here in the middle of the USA... my focus is on queering Systems Change, and will be (co-)leading a Fellowship through building their own capstone projects.... I don't come from academia, my journey is very much circuitous... but I'm thoroughly enjoying the work y'all put out. It also gives me a lot to link into with how I offer Queer Dharma & Engaged Buddhism groups, classes, healing sessions (aside, but driving the primacy of being behind my SC work).

Anyway, just wanted to say the mycelium has reached across the pond. ;)

I'm feeling called to be a part of this Second Renaissance community mostly because I want to be plugged in to the network. I feel the greatest value Second Renaissance could provide are networking opportunities. HMU if you'd like facilitation support for open space connections.

Love this Greater Ecosystem! Thank you for this beautiful overview, as 'inhabitant' of the 'educational territory'
