July 2021 Virtual Experience

ALTERNATIVE DESTINIES: HOW TO INTEGRATE OUR INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCES OF THIS PAST YEAR SO WE CAN IMAGINE AND CREATE NEW POSSIBILITIES
Friday July 9 @ 3-5 PM EST

Since the beginning of 2020, we have witnessed (and experienced) a global pandemic, horrific injustice, a historical US election, the seeds of revolution, growing isolation, unearthing of truth, division, solidarity, and a creative renaissance. 


As we cross the mid-year threshold, and re-enter an unfamiliar world, we must imagine new possibilities—beyond what we once considered “normal”—and ask ourselves: How will my life and work contribute to creating the next year, the next decade?

Together, we will use writing and storytelling as a tool to reflect on the past year and imagine new worlds.

IN THIS VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE WE WILL:

  • Reflect on the past year (2020/2021)

  • Explore how the pivotal moments you/we experienced shifted you/us

  • Identify key learnings + moments of clarity and realization

  • Zoom in (focus on your desires and efforts) and zoom out (notice the patterns and possibilities of our collective trajectory)

  • Connect the dots between you and the larger ecosystem (your community, city, country, the world) to look forward and imagine what might be next

THIS EXPERIENCE IS:

  • Virtual (on zoom)

  • Participatory (requires your presence end-to-end)

  • Connective (with opportunities to share)

  • Sliding scale
