Dear friends,
Welcome to another nutrient-dense edition of In Correspondence! I’m writing from near Málaga in Spain where I’m learning to dive for the first time before heading to the Microsolidarity gathering.
New this year: I’ve started offering services in AI consulting and group facilitation (read more below).
What I’ve been up to
I interviewed Andrew Boyd about his excellent book I Want A Better Catastrophe – recording available here
I spoke on the Building Our Regenerative Future course on AI and our Regenerative Future – notes available here
I completed the second run of my Introduction to AI course – purchase the notes and recordings here
I spoke at a Big Education Conversations event on AI and the Future of Education
I participated in a beautiful Imbolc ceremony at the Glade in Dartington
I completed a Swedish A2 language course 🇸🇪
AI consulting
Does your organisation need help understanding the potential of AI or implementing it effectively? As a certified AI professional and experienced teacher, I’ve recently started offering AI consulting services. Read more
Group facilitation
This year I’m also offering my skills in group facilitation. When teams get stuck, external facilitation can be the catalyst for breakthroughs and renewed momentum. I'll work with you to discover what's really important and plan a way forward. Read more
Third Attractor
Andrea Farias, Sam Hall and I (who met via the metacrisis.xyz community) published the first posts of the Third Attractor project. Read about three possible futures for London and follow for more scenarios via Instagram and Twitter.
Knowledgegraph
Since last time I’ve shared 17 items to my knowledgegraph. Highlights:
AI is getting close to real-time. Check out near-instant AI-generated text (Groq), images (SDXL Turbo) and voice chat (Persona).
