I AM THE MATRIX
5 Days in Telegram on Building & Scaling Emergent Institutions among the Fertile Ruins of the Present
Begins Monday, June 29
Given the apparent failure of old models of structure, safety, protection, and collective power... how do we build a livable world?
What role do our Emergent Businesses have to play in the current re-organization?
And how can we fold this world-historical perspective into the way we make money, make art, & live our daily lives -- in practice?
This is what we are investigating in I AM THE MATRIX.
WHAT I'LL BE SHARING
-> my emergent theory of historical & collective change developed, by accident, during my decades of scholarly study (which led me to leave academia & enter the online space)
-> how I'm building an Emergent Institution in real-time, from scratch, from the bottom up (the good, the bad, & the ugly...yet infinitely satisfying)
-> the somatic & energetic work necessary to conceive & lead a collective body (including a potent practice to create inner space for this)
BUT I'M NOT JUST TEACHING YOU MY TEMPLATE FOR CREATING EMERGENT INSTITUTIONS (THOUGH I WILL BE SHARING THAT).
I'M ACTUALLY RECRUITING YOU TO CO-DEVELOP THESE TEMPLATES WITH ME.
All my teaching spaces are emergent, experimental, and inevitably result in new knowledge in me & my "students."
All my work is developed through exchange & collaboration with you. Through your questions, your thoughts, your experiences, and even just the challenge of presenting my work to you.
So if you think participating in this emergent research project could be fruitful in any way--
I'll see you inside ;)
ABOUT YOUR HOST
My name is Caroline Claire Durlacher & I am the founder & steward of the Lyceum.
I am a now feral scholar who has studied at Yale (BA), the University of Vienna, & UC Berkeley (MA) -- where I left after 6 years of doctoral study. I left just before finishing my PhD, which would have qualified me to pursue a career as a university professor.
Since 2022, I have been experimenting in public with the project of birthing an entire institution, from scratch -- but from a very different template than the ones we encounter in the world.
In the process, I have developed prototypes for Transformational Sales, Marketing, & Offer Creation, Embodied Pedagogy, & Emergent Institution-Building which I teach & practice with my clients & co-creators inside the Lyceum.
