Video of this conversation here: https://youtu.be/QL6ajLeaBA0 Karl shares his plans for a new community of practice he is about to launch; Rich gives feedback; then they get deeper into the personal questions of what it is like to be us doing this community weaving work at this time.   - digital connection with physical distance  - choosing which 1 thing to work on and which 9 things to put down (how to delegate)  - Internal Family Systems Therapy and how it applies to our roles  - going with the dao of life, moving from inspiration not obligation  - a 21st century ashram that is non dogmatic, a life giving structure that creates the routines and structures that bias towards healthy interior states  - practicing aikido, making music   Karl's recommended resources here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1muX7TuVo-XiJujrRevxJW1MGAE6FgBD1ymZS6Mh8ze0/edit# Cultural Catalyst Network: http://culturalcatalystnetwork.org/ More on microsolidarity here: http://microsolidarity.cc

A little taste to show you what we mean by microsolidarity: Ronan speaks for 7 minutes, Rich reflects back for 2 minutes, then they switch roles. An extremely simple relational practice that can make a big difference in less than half an hour. http://microsolidarity.cc Ping me on Twitter
