What will this look like a year from now? There’s no figuring that out beforehand. We could keep it simple, specify a plan, make some books, and sell you products. But we are determined for this to be alive. That’s part of what we mean by a “participatory production company.” This is more like gardening than carpentry. Let’s tend the soil. Let’s try some things, pay good attention, and learn together.

We do know a few things. We know that there are powerful voices and leading efforts that are difficult to see and hear. We know media production and technology is getting better and more accessible. We know that people are busy, but also want to grow and develop. They can make time if the pace, group culture, and invitation are right.

At the moment you can see only a small part of what we’ve imagined. It will evolve through conversations with you, and with hundreds or thousands of you. It’s participatory. It’s emerging. It’s made of us. We feel excited.
