Please join us this Thursday, July 17th, as Michael Vav leads a discussion about social creativity – in a new venue (see below for details).
Michael has designed and lead a hundred “social experiments” – from Funeral lotteries to Mobile Mystery Cabaret – that are “intentional interactions and awareness adventures that induce insight as an antidote to a life on autopilot.”
In his words:
“At the Abundance League, I’ll guide us in creating simple ways to unlock more connection, inspiration and playfulness with the people in our lives.
I’ll share about how people’s lives are enriched from participating in social experiments. Then we’ll co-create an intentional interaction or two. We’ll distill where these subtle shifts of what we’re doing, and how we’re being, unlock more connection, inspiration and playfulness than life on autopilot. Then we’ll discuss ways we can easily carry this spark from orchestrated scenarios and into real-time way-today interactions in any area of our lives.
Let’s take lil’ risks to yield lots of aliveness.
Let’s trade in small talk for inspired conversation.
Let’s swap out complacent patterns for fresh playfulness.
Let’s invent ways to get out of default mode, and choose something new in
our home lives
our work worlds
our lifestyles
our alone time.”
And as always, come ready to talk about your passions, needs, and gifts (in under two minutes) during announcements so that we can help each other create the lives and communities of our dreams – right here in reality.
Leaguers Kim Connector and Bosco will be facilitating.
