Mother and Father
Hey beautiful people,
Another experiment @ The Stoa is coming up - A Bookless Club.
We will be engaging with blogs, academic papers, tweet threads, video essays, and films, followed by some delicious dialogos.
In the first session, we will discuss Tiqqun’s “terrible communities,” along with other failure modes of communing, e.g. Jo Freeman’s “tyranny of structurelessness” and Jamie Wheal’s “culty cults.”
It is recommended you read all the material if you’d like to attend the session, but the session is designed for the readings to be completely optional. This session is meant to help inform some of the theory and praxis of “social alchemy” and “communitas crafting.” You can sign up via Patreon.
Tomorrow’s events:
Collective Journaling. Daily @ 8:00 AM ET. Patreon event. 90 mins.
Embodiment Hour: Feeling is Healing w/ Schuyler Brown. January 20th, 27th, and February 3rd @ 12:00 PM ET. Patreon event.
Rampage of Gratitude w/ Peter Limberg and A.J. Bond. January 20th @ 8:00 PM ET. Clubhouse event.

A Bookless Club: Terrible Communities w/ Peter Limberg. January 30th @ 1:00 PM ET. Patreon event.

Mother, though you did not share my interest in learning philosophy, you had great wisdom - you never gave your mind away to anyone. You were your own person. You did not teach me this in an obvious way, but I am inspired to have my own mind through witnessing yours.
Father, though you did not share my interest in learning social fluency, you had great communication - you spoke clearly with your integrity. You were a man of your word. You did not teach me this in an obvious way, but I am inspired to have integrity through witnessing yours.
For so long I was angry at you both, for not being more obvious about what you had to teach. What a fool I was to miss what now seems obvious to me: your lessons were always in reach.
