COSMOS.EARTH is the name of the comprehensive content platform, on which the following channels are hosted:
COSMOVISION is a channel focused on conveying the vision, shape and sense of Cosmos as it emerges, for a wide audience. This channel will feature regular weekly content in the form of Cosmovision discussion podcasts (join our weekly meetings here) and a column by co-founder Caroline Savery. Additional content may include: interviews with Cosmos members, visionary visual and narrative depictions of Cosmos’ emergence, member-submitted reflections on the “ground level” experience of how Cosmos is growing and changing, reports on internal development & work progress, and more.
THE COSMOS CAFÉ is a weekly virtual dialogue series that focuses on deep questions of cosmology, consciousness, and culture. Our Café table, open to all sentient beings, is designed to encourage open-ended, creative, and all-inclusive conversations. These are performative experiments in cooperative intelligence, grounded in shared reading materials and suggested media, where the participants are both subjects and objects, observers and observed, as we hone our minds to the edges of our maps and explore our intuitions of possibilities beyond. Each session is recorded and posted on the Infinite Conversations forum for ongoing discussion.
COSMOSCASTS is a channel dedicated to podcasting and video content created by Cosmos members.
MICRO*COSMS is a cheeky name for the content channels produced by individual creative members of Cosmos. Each channel offers expression to the unique voice, talents and passions of its creator–amplified to the Cosmos community and the wider world.
In the initial stage, individual channels are limited to our most active contributors. Current members of Cosmos may blog by invitation only—request an invitation here.
Cosmos is…
- a collaborative engine for visionary minds
- a community interdependent framework for co-creation
- an autopoietic cooperative platform for mutual self-actualization
Cosmos is a community, platform and cooperative set of systems making up a “generative milieu” that puts our creative offerings and vibrant being at the core. We are incubating new ways of engaging and being together, that amplify the quality of our connections as creatives, as producers and workers, and as audience members.
What does Cosmos offer?
We are just getting started. Currently we offer a rich array of ongoing conversations (on our forum, InfiniteConversations.com) including themed, salon-style dialogue events (Cosmos Cafes), reading clubs (Readers Underground), writing groups (Writers Underground), an online journal (Metapsychosis), a blogging/podcasting/vlogging platform (Cosmos.Earth), and a variety of “playbook” templates that anyone can use to initiate their own creative product or process.
How does it work?
Through collaborative, iterative design processes, members inform and give form to our aspirations. Everything we want to do starts out as a conversation.
Currently we are building version 0.1 of Cosmos, with version 1.0 signifying a formal membership drive and official launch. If you feel called to what we are doing, you are welcome to join as a proto-member here.
Our primary frames are: relational, creative, generating spirals of abundance.
