• Please vote for the time of our next general meeting. The time slots are for Europe and some others. Please write also if you have points, topics for discussions or processes you would like to propose for the next meeting or if you are ready to host or co-host! We'll gather a preliminary agenda soon!
• Results of our last meeting are here. Of note: we agreed to continue to allow “pay what you can” events for DA facilitators for 3 months. 50% goes to the facilitator, and 50% to the group, and we decided group money collected may be used to support facilitators who make regular offerings in DA and are in need of income, by consent of the facilitators– see the notes for a fuller explanation.
• You can make your own Deep Adaptation events (live or Zoom) in the new system at deepadaptation.info/events. Simple instructions are here to request the admins to make your event. If you’d like to make and edit your own events, instructions are here. As always, Igor, Terry and Lisa are happy to guide you and to help you choose a good time and date, or find a co-host.
• Please note that Death Cafe (Thurs. March 31) and Deep Listening* (schedule under construction) are coming back as regular DA offerings; please share these resources with others, and you are welcome to participate yourself. *Please contact Katie or add your name to the Deep Listening schedule tab to help us fill out the schedule.
• Please consider joining these DAF community events to strengthen our relationships and provide/experience mutual support in our various challenges around collapse. You add value as a facilitator participant.

Open Space: Deeply adapting in thriving crews
In this “modified open space” event, join us to hear more about existing DAF crews, and come find your tribe! (and/or invite your tribe to join this experiment) REGISTER HERE
See this page for more info on this experiment, and check out these two videos, made by members of existing DAF "crews" on the joys and benefits they have drawn from being part of these tight-knit groups: Collaborative Action team, Diversity & Decolonising Circle

Global weirding is in full swing! How can we cultivate more trust and solidarity with fellow humans in our networks? How can we join forces to take regenerative action in the world? What if Love stands at the heart of all this?
As an experiment in trying to answer this, everyone in the Deep Adaptation Forum is invited to get together in microsolidarity "crews." These are small groups (about 3-5 people) who decide to connect regularly, online or offline… and do whatever they like! For example: discuss a common topic of interest; engage in personal or professional development and mutual support; work on a common project; etc.
Find others with whom to connect - be it locally, in the same time zone, or around a common project - and form strong, trusting relationships with other collapse-aware folks.
During this time, a breakout room will also be open for people to share the practices they already use in their existing crews/groups/circles: How to share leadership and discuss power? How to transform conflict? How to make decisions and reach clarity? Join us to engage in collective learning over these crucial topics.
