What a treat to attend mg first #cmxsummit alongside AnneSophie Brochet and Charlene Kate Ditch. We’ve been immersed in a world of community professionals who share a passion for building connected communities that give their members a sense of purpose and belonging. Three highlights for me: 1️⃣ spending time with my team. ❤️ being away from zoom and the stresses of the daily grind. Getting to know each other and uncovering fun quirky facts that serve to bring us closer. 2️⃣ attending a conference as an attendee!! Most of the time we are exhibiting or producing. It was an interesting meta-level experience to observe how CMX organized their content, networking, and comms. 3️⃣ the strongest theme I heard across all sessions centered on the importance of meeting communities where they are and empowering them to do what they’re already doing through education, funding, infrastructure, and more. This stands in contrast to forcing communities to fit inside of a box we’ve designed. Big thanks to our hosts at CMX and all of the speakers! Until next time… ✌️

It's a fantastic feeling being part of a group of non-liked-minded people! Over several months, I have been searching, exploring, and pursuing ways to find people who think differently than me, and it is possible to collaborate, co-create, and envision something meaningful and different.   Yesterday, we had a kick-off call for a series of experiments where I only knew 2 participants (out of 12): different backgrounds, experiences, and origins, but mainly different ways of approaching life and future visions.   We had in common our openness, eagerness, and readiness to experiment with new things, test, cocreate, and generously share knowledge, experiences, and expertise.     “We believe that to create a world that is free, relational, regenerative, and thriving for all, we need to build an ecosystem of people, places, and practices that nurture inner development, build strong communities, and co-create a new story of what it means to be human through shared, lived experiments and creative explorations.” This initiative is called revillage (https://www.revillage.co/)   As a testing ground for new ideas, we are launching a series of experiential, interdisciplinary learning journeys in Provence (France) between April and June 2024.   What happens when we bring together a diverse group of people from art, philosophy, innovation, leadership, education, data, entrepreneurship, well-being, and healing to explore topics and questions that impact us all? Join us this Spring to find out! https://lnkd.in/eXQJZTTK #revillage #experiments #cocreation #disruption Sonja Kresojevic Kim Arazi Glyn Bottrell Sarah Nuedling Martin Calnan Chris Everett Talya Landau Helena Demuynck, Esther Blázquez Blanco martin a. ciesielski
