The Big Dinner: Future Human
Click on the images below to learn more about the speakers. Scroll to the bottom for an accurate a timezone check.
The Big Dinner is an online and in-person hybrid event that invites people to host dinners around the world, while tuning into a live podcast / conversation format hosted by The Voicecraft Network.
Your ticket gives you access to tune into the online component. Members, guests, and friends across the broader network space are encouraged to invite friends over to share some food, tune in, and continue the conversation in your own space.
This event follows a gift economy ethos. If finances are tight, you are welcome to attend at no cost. Similarly, hosts can also choose to invite guests at no cost.
This is our third dinner, and takes places on May 23rd (AU/EU time).
Calling in the Future Human
This transmission welcomes Simon van der Els, Carl Hayden Smith, Sarah Janes, Pamela von Sabljar, joined by Tim Adalin (all of whom have appeared on Voicecraft's Altered States of Conversation podcast). They will explore the theme: Calling In The Future Human. We will be following a process led by Simon:
"We will cultivate a manner of group sensing which is highly intuitive, mainly focussed on sinking into somatic awareness and monitoring the images that arise. We will use the word to navigate and orient, as well as shape the field we're interacting with.
In this format we'll host and create a shared field with a small pool of invited voices, while others at home can 'tune in' on that collective field. It is a form of group active imagination."
This process will combine with the dialogic exploration that participants and listeners will be familiar with from the podcast, live events, and network sessions.
We will also be joined by Voicecraft member and artist Jon Garner who will be creating art in response to themes.
