Last week I sent out an email about plans to relaunch the New Narrative and start hosting in-person events again as soon as it feels safe to do so.
I also talked about how this relaunched version of The New Narrative is going to have a new focus, more structured around community building, personal growth, and social justice; and in a format akin to a non-theistic church. If you missed it you can read the whole email again here:

Thanks to everybody who responded to the email! I’m glad to see that there is a lot of enthusiasm and interest behind this new plan!
As I also mentioned in the email, I’m looking to bring some folks together to help with the planning and implementation of this new plan. I’m going to host the first meeting towards making it happen next Tuesday, May 25, from 6-8 p.m. If you’re reading this and you’d like to be involved, I’d love to have you join.
The goal of this meeting will be to layout the new plan more thoroughly and get any feedback you might have. I’d also like to talk about the first set of themes to explore and create time for all of us to get to know each other a little bit better too.
We’ll conduct the meeting via Zoom. The link is below. Feel free to shoot me any questions or thoughts prior to the meeting too.
Thank you all for being interested and also sticking with me through all the adjustments since last fall. I learned a lot about the importance of a coherent plan through those meetings and I’m hoping what is coming together now is just as intriguing to you all too.
Here is the Zoom link. I’m excited to see you all next week!

Last week we were able to get some people together in person for the first time since the pandemic started.
