A Capsule From Poiesis
A private video for mailing list subscribers and a few small updates on some of what's next
Dear reader,
I’ve found it difficult to write this letter. Perhaps one too many voices.
But there is some time pressure and so I’d like to share a few things. Let’s see if there are some words to come out in a few days time.
Further on down the page you’ll find:
A video with the full recorded content from November’s live event: Poiesis (shockingly a word not mentioned once in this!)
Some words about the final 24 hours of the Voicecraft Live crowdfunding effort
Some of what’s upcoming on the podcast and VC network
First up is an unlisted recording from the recent Live event in November (perhaps only of interest to a select few — there’s a 10 minute opening which took place more or less at the start of the evening once most everyone was settled, then a very short conversation starter on the evening’s theme. All an interesting process.)
Thank you to Jon Alexander for joining us on your tour.
If you would like to support the Voicecraft crowdfunding effort, you can read more about it and do so here.
About the live events in 2023
At the end of last month Voicecraft began a crowdfunding effort to support a series of live events in 2023. It was scheduled to end in the next 24 hours — far from an ideal time to run an effort like this with Christmas so close. Given where we’re at, we’ll be able to press ahead with events but keep the page open to donations. It will then be closed in early February.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far.
On the page you’ll find there are also many tiers of support, including yearly access memberships, partial memberships, and once off tickets for yourself and a friend.
Higher tiers of support are invitations to collaborate on event themes, or to choose a topic from the list below (there are 14 more on the page.)
Indigenous Wisdom in the Digital Age
Initiation & Elderhood
Transhumanism & Hyperhumanism
Propaganda, Influence & Authority
Men, Women, Difference and Healing
A Vision For Culture-Making: Australia
A Tale Of Paradigms: Health & Thriving
Next on the podcast
Up next on the podcast is a conversation with Cadell Last on the topic of Novelty & Lineage, which also explored themes of spirituality and religion. That’ll be followed up with the next part of the Commons series, a dialogue with Forrest Landry.
Then there are recordings of two Voicecraft Network productions to share: an open session with Daniel & Michelle Garner of O.G. Rose and several Voicecraft members, and an Elder Circle with the psychologist Gregg Henriques.
On the Voicecraft Network
Open Voicecraft sessions will begin again online in 2023 (to follow along with themes developed on the podcast, by members of the Voicecraft network, and in relation with Live events in Melbourne.
Gosh that deserves a whole lot more said about it. But there are some things.
With gratitude for your time.
Discernment on the Way,
Tim
