Relatively Regular Recap & Invitations (RRR&I)— 10/24/2020
Relatively Regular Recap
Here we are! Thank you so much for being a part of this series, we are very excited about the response and what is starting to emerge!
As of today we have released eleven posts. As long as there are posts to be released, we plan to continue releasing them everyday, until we run out, and to keep this as an open project, a constant work-in-progress. The invitation to collaborate is open, and we invite you to share with friends that might be interested in being a part of their group and/or sharing their passion/initiatives via a Collaborative Blog Post. Our intention is for this group to be generative — meaning that it will grow based on the response, ideas and input of the members.
Note: We have had to decline a few posts that people wanted to share in the group. Each individual person that had their post declined has been contacted and told why. To share with the wider group, and to share general expectations, here is of one of those messages:
“Thanks for being part of the Re-Imagining Our Future group ! Also, thanks for your post and gratitude … we are trying to keep posts in the group focused on Re-Imagining (in various capacities) because we have been a part of many groups that get over-flooded with posts [self-promotions] etc. — — so I have declined your request to post … but invite you to introduce yourself and spread your gratitude on the introductions thread … and join in the conversations on the posts … with love, dan …”
With that being said, people are welcome, and encourage, people post in the group, but request that you please keep it focused on re-imagining our future. Also, we appreciate people wanting to spread the word about their initiatives etc. — Instead of just posting about the initiative in a one-off post we invite people share their initiatives/invitations a) by contributing in a collaborative blog post b) by sharing in the introductions thread or c) by sharing within the context of a conversation in an ongoing thread.

Invitations
Invitations are open to anybody in the community. If you feel called to any of these invitations please send a message and we can explore possibilities.
Open Invitations for:
illustrators/painters/artists/dancers/sculptors/actors/clowns etc. — to re-interpret each post in a different medium(s) to honor the multiple intelligences and give people a chance to creatively work with the ideas and information with their different intelligences.
- Use your artistic skills to re-interpret a post(s)
- Share with groups of people that might be interested (i.e. art school students, art-focused organizations etc.
- Share the invitation with a friend that might be interested
mappers — to map the posts in the series until now to show the interconnections and to start developing a comprehensive, compassionate, systems view of the future. We encourage someone to do this digitally, so we can continuously, and collaboratively, add to it as new posts get released.
- Share about softwares that might work
- Generate the initial mapping with the first 12 posts
- Share the invitation with a friend that might be interested
anchors — to initiate collaborative blog posts. Up until now I (dan) have been the ‘anchor author’ on all of the posts. Anybody who has contributed a post already to the series can be an anchor, which entails responding to the lead authors initial paragraphs and doing the initial editing. At this point, I will plan to do the final editing and posting of posts initiated by other anchors.
- Become an anchor author
- Share the invitation with a friend that might be interested
are there any other ways that you would like to get involved? ideas that you want to propose? we welcome any/all ideas …
