This retreat aims to bring together individuals and families from the extended Other Life network for a time of connection, reflection, and fun. We will spend time in-person thinking, talking, eating, and exploring from a cabin in the Sierra-Nevada.
The organizing theme for this retreat is "Slow Work: Build Now to Peak Later" -- focusing on how we can build individual and communal practices of learning which set us up to do our best work decades from now rather than chasing the latest fads or succumbing to the temptations of the ever-accelerating digital medium. We will zoom out to consider what it means to live as intellectuals both on the scale of an individual life and the scale of generations, all with the aim of clarifying our own goals, tools, and practices to align them with our vision of human flourishing.
