Prompts to Chew On Until Next Time

We only scratched the surface of Practice (principles, methods, techniques, and tools) and this can be a fun wheel for us to look at from

as we move toward How We Dance

1. Purpose (& other principles). Why are you dancing?

2. Place. When and where are you dancing?

3. People. Who is dancing?

4. Process. How will you dance?

5. Practice. What are the moves?

Friendship Cards? We all seemed to love ’s initiative. Is there something about amplifying his FF in some way that feels organic? Connection cards? Something else that we have his blessing on?

Invites for Jam #3 There may be a few new faces for the next session. Is there anyone else you’d like to invite and think should join us?

Co-think #2 Session Rundown Why Co-think?

To share thoughts, ideas, and discoveries that we find interesting. These can be signals for collective exploration, integration, and output. When we do drop a ‘release’ it may include personal development tools, collaborative essays, cultural zines, art, books, podcasts, events, retreats, and god only knows what else.

What you're excited about right now?

What would you like to feel, experience, or understand by the end of our jam - what would you like to see?

Expansive room for a convo to flow and we can kick it off with your sharing the response to the prompt:

What are those places that are special to you? What are the spaces or places where you say ‘I need to go back there!’ or ‘I want to be here.’

What personal practice, activity, ritual, or habit are you trying to cultivate now? Tell us more… How could a group like this support, coach, and help with that…

What are you taking away from today?

One of

GPT prompts — Collective rituals to cure our ills 🤣

A parting poem …

At an inflection point in our world,

A new paradigm of AI unfurled,

Curious minds and focused hearts,

Navigating change is where we start.

We audit what we've done so far,

Reset our goals and aim for stars,

Click into action, make a plan,

Trust ourselves and lend a hand.

Independence is our guide,

As we navigate the changing tides,

Maps to chart the unknown seas,

Culture that embraces diversity.

Synchronizing our efforts and skills,

Collective rituals to cure our ills,

The light of sunset to remind,

Of the progress that we'll find.

Modalities and seasons change,

But our resolve we won't exchange,

Order in chaos, a sound that rings,

Together we'll build amazing things.

Help is something we all need,

A helping hand to plant a seed,

And with this poem we'll end,

The start of a journey we'll transcend.
