Short Video Update From Richard

Symbiotic Society Roll-Out Strategy

Hello everyone:
Here is a short video update on the book’s progress. Thank you for your patience and the wonderful co-creative process, as I have been releasing the book as a weekly serial.

I will soon be sending an email with an invitation to those of you who would like to participate in implementing Symbiotic Culture in your community.

PDFs of Sections 1 and 2 will be sent to the first cohort of co-creators for you to read and give your feedback.

This will be followed by a series of video calls with this first small group to support the design of the Symbiotic Society — a community-based “Cultural Recovery” group (more on that in Chapter 10, Part 5; Chapter 12; and all of Section 3 - the “How-To”).

We will iterate the group process ourselves first and then take it out into the real world and at the grassroots—community prototyping in multiple communities around the world. I will incorporate this feedback into the final book release.

Here is the Table of Contents if you would like to catch up —
