2nd Enlightenment Group Established to Further Future Generative Dialogue

October 29th, 2008 at 12:47 pm

Tuesday is our first 2nd Enlightenment meeting.  Larry and I have discussed a lot of topics/ideas for things to do/talk about – I know you are surprised!

Anyway, we thought we might want to take advantage of a community meeting Sue Fuchtman is having in her bid for mayor.  There fore we will be meeting, at least at first, at Central Park at 6:30 p.m. so that we can make our presence known and give her some food for thought about the Visioning 2026 process and the future of Norfolk.  Plus there are free cookies!

Depending on how that went and the weather etc. we would reconvene at the Chamber offices to discuss future meetings/topics and strategies for seeding Norfolk etc. with future’s context and transformational learning.

Just as an aside, Scott has sent her the document by Rick Smyre – Democracy in a Learning Mode – due to a discussion they were having at one of the planning and zoning meetings.  So it would seem that she is a least interested in looking at different approaches to the future. . .

 I am excited about starting our monthly meetings (2ndTues. of the month, times and location TBA) on future trends/context and enlightenment!
