the antimba
Making a bit of space and time
to write and rethink
how to do life
If you want to ...
stop pretending that mastery is possible, busy-ness is satisfying, and life can be hacked
get out of your head and work out what you actually think
find some others to tell you what they see
... then you may want to join us.
What we do
We spend four weeks at a time reading, writing, and thinking about a word.*
We use the word to think about:
where we are
how we got here
how things might be different
what to do next
We meet in real time on the third Thursday of the session to chew the fat.
We take a week off between sessions.
* One of the big, gnarly ones, which we take for granted and don’t even think about, even though it’s here, there, and everywhere. A word like: body, culture, life, mind, nature, other, self, space, time, work, world.
How we do it
We read.
The week starts on Sunday, with a brief prompt, and a few longer pieces, if you've got the time.
We write.
We post something by the end of Saturday, to show each other where we are.
We comment.
We provide feedback on three other posts by the end of Monday, to tell each other what we see.
We gather.
We meet just over halfway through each session, to see how far we've come and where we're going.
How it helps
We realize how our lives are ruled by things we haven’t even thought about.
We explore other ways of thinking about these things.
We see what can change when we start thinking about things differently.
