In Correspondence #49
Elevate, Bread Coop and Circles
Dear friends,
Welcome to another (short) In Correspondence. I’m preparing to move into Emerge Lakefront later today– if you’re curious about the place, you’re welcome to join the Virtual Open House at 5pm CET.
Applications have started coming in for Life as Practice, the yearlong group mentorship hosted by me and Laura starting in September. You can make 2025/26 a year to remember by committing to regular meditation, movement, learning, creativity and reflection in an carefully crafted container.
I’m also accepting a couple of new coaching clients, via Zoom or in person in Stockholm.
What I’ve been up to
I attended a retreat with the beguiling Daniel Odier on Kashmiri Tantra 🕉️
I participated in the summer Elevate where I gave a workshop on my Treasure Map 🗺️
I spent a week in Berlin where I co-hosted the Bread Cooperative popup at Funding the Commons: Infrastructures of Resilience, dropped in to d/acc Berlin and caught up with several dear friends 🐝
I found a unique collaborator to work with on the Technological Metamodernism book 👀
