Microsolidarity - May Update

Vibes Program, Community Sharing, and Summer Camps

Welcome to the May 2024 Network Update.

Summer is arriving and network activity is buzzing like bees, while the warmth of the sun beckons for connection and relaxation. If you’re like me you may want a reminder that there’s no need to rush in reading this update. Sit back and enjoy. 

If this menu tickles your aliveness, consider maybe joining us friendly lot at one of the events below. 

Vibes Program - Cohort-based Course 😊

Registration is now open for the Vibes Program! This short cohort-based course is for learning the core concepts of Microsolidarity, and then meeting to vibe together Microsolidarity style, and experiment with relational practices. 

This is the original first Microsolidarity program developed by Nati and Rich, now hosted by members of the community. This June’s program will be facilitated by Jocelyn Ames, Jonas Gröner, Sara Bajor, and Abi Van Ly. It is the precursor course to the newly developed Crewing Program. 

The course is a good place to meet upcoming Summer Camp attendees, and other likeminded weirdos who are very fun and serious about creating a life of belonging & purpose. Or if you’ve come along before, why not forward this to a friend who’s new to and/or curious about Microsolidarity?

Taking place from Tuesday 18 June 2024, we meet for 4 live Zoom calls over 2 weeks, on Tuesdays & Thursdays at 6-7.30pm CET / 9-10:30am PDT. More details here. Registration here.
