The Nurturing Emergent Communities Event: Introduction

human as weaver

At Portals of Perception we are dedicated to the inquiry: where does the future come from? And how do we humans evolve, in terms of our perception and consciousness? Naturally, part of our premise is that the future actually arises, and appears, with each and every one of us. And especially through our deepest inquiries, and aspirations, and hopes - and through the conversations that we create.

Part of the idea of the Portals project is that conversations can become portals of new possibilities and opportunities. And this leads us, very naturally, into the premise of today: nurturing emergent communities. Please join us.

We are inquiring partly on the premise that on the local, the regional, the national, the global, and the civilizational levels, we are now facing challenges that require us to find each other in new and more intelligent ways. All of that, and more, we are seeking to bring forward today by way of the collective wisdom and intelligence that's ready to show up as part of our exploration.
