I have three things to share with this group. Please check them out below.
1) Events for the New Narrative are going to begin in earnest, perhaps as soon as next week. I’ve got a couple of my own ideas that I’ll be putting into action, but I’d love to get thoughts and ideas from this larger group too. Based on the discussions we’ve had so far, is there a certain type of event you’d like to see, creative practice explored, or even something you’d like to host?
I sent an email with some additional ideas along these lines a couple of weeks ago too. You can check it out here:

2) As part of planning out these new events, I also want to bring together the first cohorts. For each cohort, I’d like to get 4-5 people to come together for ~six weeks to help plan a month’s worth of programming. Each month would be based on a theme, and the cohort plan would be a way to give you all a significant influence in planning how we explore a theme, and also get to more deeply explore what the theme means to you too.
The first themes I’ve got in mind are Community, Connection, Gratitude, and Resilience.
Here is an email I sent about it last week too:

3) Lastly, I plan to start transitioning communication away from emails like this and moving them over to Slack. The emails were good to get momentum going but now I’m hoping there’s enough critical mass to maintain discussions in Slack instead.
If you haven’t already joined, here is a link to the workspace. The channels will have to be reorganized, so bear with me as I adjust everything over there.

That’s it for now! I’d appreciate hearing from any of you with other thoughts and ideas going forward.
I’m excited to finally get started again.
Thanks!
Nathan
