Time to leave the enclosures

January 21, 2025 By Chris Corrigan Being, Culture, Democracy, Featured, Power, Wordpress 6 Comments

It is time to leave the enclosures. It is not worth trying to make our social networks work under the terms of unfettered fascists and venture capitalists who prey on our attention for profit.

Just enough to live a good life

January 15, 2025 By Chris Corrigan Art of Hosting, Being, Collaboration, Community, Complexity, Facilitation, Featured, First Nations, Leadership 5 Comments

The set up for the weekly staff meeting at the Alaska Humanities Forum offices in Anchorage. We spent the day yesterday with our colleagues at the Alaska Humanities Forum (AKHF) preparing for the Art of Hosting that begins this morning. AKHF is an organization that has long embraced the Art of Hosting as a way of operating both their internal organizational functions and their relationship and gatherings with their partners and programs. All over the world there are organizations like this, not always obvious or seen by the global Art of Hosting community, because they labour away on their own …

January 12, 2025 By Chris Corrigan Being, Bowen, Featured, Wordpress 6 Comments

Sitting here in the Seattle airport in the midst of a very long travel delay. We are working in Anchorage this week and flights there have been delayed and cancelled all day due to a massive windstorm. Our flight was due to leave an hour ago. We have another six hours to wait.

Coming back to the old neighbourhoods

November 22, 2024 By Chris Corrigan Being, Featured 9 Comments

One of the houses I grew up in as a kid in what is now called “Midtown” Toronto, but was known as Chaplain Estates back in my day, named for the farmer who sold the land for houses at the edge of Toronto back in the early 1900s. On the road again, and this year is starting to feel like my pre-pandemic travel schedule, one that I thought I might try to cut back on. Not happening though! The trade-off for not being at home much is I get to work with with old friends here in Toronto, Ben Wolfe …
