Gardens of Change (Community)
Community arm — events, groups, and community-scale activity — the explicit community umbrella (replacing the separate, redundant "Seeds of Renaissance Community" record).
Gardens of Change (Community)
Purpose
Seeds of Renaissance's community side — the explicit community umbrella. Areas that grew large enough have their own initiative files. Everything else is listed here as a note.
Own initiative files (children of Gardens of Change)
- Calls & Catalysts — regular hosted gatherings, both online (the Global Connection Call) and local meetups and groups, plus the catalyst circle that hosts them. Formerly Events & Meetups.
- Events — bigger events such as gatherings, festivals and 2RCon. Paused.
- Topical Groups — interest-based groups, e.g. Life Itself Research. Formerly Local & Topical Groups; local groups moved to Calls & Catalysts.
- Community Chat — ongoing informal chat/forum space (renamed from Online Community, 2026-09-25 — the old name clashed with other things that are also online and community); reparented here 2026-09-25 (previously under the now-deleted Seeds of Renaissance Community record). Rufus noted it overlaps in practice with the audience the calls serve, but is kept separate: an always-on chat space vs. scheduled calls.
Active / planned, listed here as notes
- 2R Art Collective — Sylvie's art collective; community activity rather than kept under Media House or on its own. Was
initiatives/2r-art-collective.md(url: https://secondrenaissance.net/art/collective).
Rufus's general note for this whole area: there's plenty going on, but that doesn't mean every piece needs its own initiative file — list it here first, and only split something out once it clearly has enough independent, ongoing content to warrant its own record (the way Calls & Catalysts and Topical Groups did).
