Hey Climate club, good work as always. Thanks!

Wondering if you might like to share the following (which was sent to me, I'm not the organiser...maybe check with them?)

(Below is from post from this page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554923375712)

Introducing: The Escarpment Domes Thinkers In Residence.

We're super excited to announce our second series of micro-residencies, giving you the chance to hide out in Pukerua Bay for a few days.

Following our initial series in 2024 hosting toi Māori from Ngāti Toa, applications are now open to come stay in April and May.

It's not just for artists. Writers, activists, makers, coders ... anyone who shares our mission to look after our people and planet.

We'll give five people the keys to a dome for three nights and leave them to it.

We know everyone's stretched (and who's got time to write another proposal?) so we're keeping it simple.

Just send us three short paragraphs telling us:

1. Who you are.

2. What you've been up to.

3. One thing that gives you hope.

Email them to:

help@floruit.nz

By 9pm Sunday April 6th.

The residencies will run weekly, Monday - Thursday, from April 28th. All you need to do is get yourself there and bring some kai to sustain your brain.

What an encouraging read today thanks Jenni. I saw that technically dodgy but compelling video about the first follower when I did an online ChangeMakers organising course – only a few years ago (and I didn’t even know organising was a thing!) There are so many compelling ideas about people organising together to bring about change! I love it and it’s always inspiring.🚀✊🏻

Thanks Malcolm and great to hear from you! That sounds like an awesome course, and yes there is a lot to be inspired by in the activism space - I'm always learning about awesome shifts that have happened throughout history through people getting organised and focused!

That dancing video metaphor never gets old — mostly because it’s not about the leader, but about the moment community starts forming. Feels like that’s where real power lives.
